Dera Ismail Khan, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Aug, 2025) A plantation drive was held at Ratta Kalachi Stadium on Friday as part of the Independence Day and ‘Marka-e-Haq ’ celebrations, with Assistant Commissioner Syed Muhammad Arsalan planting a sapling to mark the occasion.

Jointly organized by the District sports and Culture Department and the Forest Department, the event aimed to promote environmental stewardship and advance the Green Pakistan Vision.

Addressing the gathering, the Assistant Commissioner said that protecting the environment was a collective duty that required practical action, not just awareness.
