PRIME Minister Imran Khan has launched a countrywide 10 billion-tree plantation drive to combat global warming and deforestation.

The people of Quetta urge the prime minister to spare some time out of his busy schedule and look into the worsening environmental conditions here.

We urge Prime Minister Imran Khan to personally monitor the activities under billion tree campaign to ensure a greener Quetta for future generations.
