KARACHI: Administrator Karachi Laeeq Ahmed on Saturday said that Miyawaki forest is the need of the hour to cope with environmental pollution.

Karachi is a densely populated city and badly needs plantation and the forest would not only increase oxygen but would also increase beauty of the city, the administrator said while signing a memorandum of understanding between Karachi Metropolitan Corporation and NED University of Engineering and Technology. Relevant city officials, NED Vice Chancellor Hashmat Lodhi, and others were also present.

The administrator said that NED would plant 300 Miyawaki forests which would increase the beauty of Karachi.
