As a positive measure towards climate change, a policy on electric cars will be presented to the cabinet after Eid.

“Indian state terrorism is not limited in Kashmir, but extends to destroying the natural environment also, after Indian fighter aircraft bombed and destroyed forests inside Pakistan earlier on Friday.” The advisor added in the press conference. He also announced that the government will start a 10 billion tree plantation campaign.

“Forest cover in KP has increased by 6.6pc. The plantation campaign is being extended throughout the country. As many as 3.5bn trees will be planted in the first phase at a cost of $1bn,” he said.

He also mentioned taking other measures including banning single-use plastic bags. He added that a grant of $150 million has been acquired from Germany to improve the status of the environment.
