The Plant worth 500,000 PKR

2 weeks ago, there was a ceremony to mark the beginning of plantation week of Azad Kashmir. The Chief guest was the Prime Minister of AJK, currently Sardar Atique. The ceremony was managed by Forest Dept. of AJK everything to this ceremony was related to AJK but only one thing was not. Ironically the ceremony was not held in AJK but in Kashmir house, Islamabad.

So, because of this gesture of holding the ceremony in ISB the whole Dept of Forest had to come to ISB on their Govt. vehicles to attend that ceremony from AJK. The chief guest as usual came 2 hours late planted the tree and talked to the TV reporters. I was there too listed to his talks carefully.... Trust we he is a big bluffer.

I remembered his speeches of early days, the claims he made i didn't see them fulfilling in the near future. One thing I remembered was that he will make Muzaffarabad to Kohala a 5 lane express way!!! It is mountain area with sliding problems in every rainy season and there he was making an express way, also did the PM even thought about the amount to mountains that would be needed to cut or the money required for the project were they even feasible in near future.... I don't think so but he just made the claim because making claims is easy....


Returning back to the topic after that he made some speech in the auditorium and after that a grand tea was served. The approx cost of function includind the gasoline charge was around 5 lakh rupees so the dept of Forest spent 5 lac rupees in just planting one tree

N then they say, our greenery is becoming lesser day by day.....
