Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has launched the next phase of her mega projects, \u201cRing of Lahore\u201d and \u201cLungs of Lahore\u201d, aimed at restoring Lahore\u2019s status as the City of Gardens.<\/p>\n

Senior Punjab Minister Maryam Aurangzeb inaugurated the \u201cLungs of Lahore\u201d project at the Shahdara entrance, marking the beginning of a massive tree plantation drive along both banks of the Ravi River.<\/p>\n

The project will see the planting of 30 million trees over 800 acres of land.<\/p>\n

Additionally, 5 million trees will be planted across 814 acres of land along the BRB Canal, Lahore Canal, Hudiara Drain, and the M-11 and M-2 Motorways.<\/p>\n

A tree belt surrounding Lahore will also be established, covering 18 acres with over 7 million shade and fruit-bearing trees.<\/p>\n

Under the \u201cPlant for Pakistan\u201d mega project, the government has set a target of planting 42.5 million trees.<\/p>\n

The \u201cLungs of Lahore\u201d initiative, which began on February 1, 2025, is expected to be completed by April 30, 2025, with a goal of 250,000 saplings.<\/p>\n

At New Bridge along the Ravi River, over 100,000 trees have already been planted on 30 out of 50 acres.<\/p>\n

To ensure sustainability, every tree planted has been geo-tagged for continuous monitoring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese millions of trees will act as oxygen generators for Lahore,\u201d said Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this initiative, Lahore will become a smog-free zone.<\/p>\n

\u201d She added that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif\u2019s \u201cGreen Ring of Lahore\u201d project will transform the city into a lush green paradise.<\/p>\n

Calling on citizens to participate in the tree plantation drive, she emphasized, \u201cEvery tree planted is a step toward eliminating smog.<\/p>\n

A single tree is like a soldier fighting against pollution.\u201d<\/p>\n
