Rawalpindi: The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) has finalised its beautification project geared towards making Patriata more attractive for tourists, a news source reported. In this regard, the PHA has signed an MoU with the Punjab Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC).
Sources within the PHA Rawalpindi confirm that the authority will be working on a project outside its jurisdictional domain for the first time. Patriata is a scenic spot, located on the way to Murree and is known best for its ‘chairlift’ attraction.
As per the beautification plan, the PHA is to upgrade the lighting system, launch plantation drive, install swings and additional features highlighting the pothohari culture. In addition, the authority will also set up a jogging track in the area and other features to particularly target families.
In another development, the Rawalpindi Forest Department completed the drive to sow seeds in forests located in the division. Under the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project, the forest department plans to plant additional 5 million trees in the forests, located in the Rawalpindi district, during the next three years. The department has also appointed its officers to ensure that the saplings grow to become strong and healthy trees.
