Islamabad: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan will inaugurate the Clean Green Index on October 30, 2019, a news source reported. Additionally, the PM will also launch the clean green competition amongst 20 cities on the same date.
Both programmes are part of the Clean & Green Pakistan project. Under the Clean Green Index initiative, the federal government will promote a healthy competition among the local governments, rating them based on the levels of pollution and the overall climate situation in their respective jurisdictions.
Recently, the Advisor to PM on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam Khan held a meeting with Imran Khan. He briefed him on the details of the five-point climate-friendly green agenda. During the meeting, PM Khan gave his approval to launch the Clean Green Index and the friendly competition amongst the cities.
