In this regard, KP Planning & Development (P&D) department has issued a notification saying that for plantation, 0.5% of the total cost of projects will be allocated in rural areas while it will be 1% in urban areas.
The purpose of the project is to promote tree plantation and ensure that the province remains clean and green.
The plantation will be seasonally resistant and environment friendly to keep the sustainability feature intact.
Further, KP provincial government has also successfully achieved the target of one billion trees in the last 5 years which has been appreciated and recognized at the international level.
