Plantation drives in Multan Aug/Sept 2021

This year (2021) Pakistan's independence day arrived in the sacred month of ' Muharram', which is believed to be a month of woe and bereavement for Shia Muslims and their sentiment is honored by all. Patriotic people opted for other alternates to rejoice the day this nation acquired freedom. Inspired by Prime minister of Pakistan and encouraged by PHA (Pakistan horticultural association) specially in Multan, majority of patriots celebrated 14th August by carrying out plantation drives throughout the country. Being one of them, we also followed the plan and launched a campaign for Greener Pakistan under the banner of I

Multan . As you all know, due to massive urbanization and construction of residential colonies, Multan had earned quite some notoriety over the ruthless cutting of trees. Specially of the orchards of mangoes, a fruit which is among few of the identities of the city of saints. Although, we cannot regrow trees that quickly, but if we plant today, 20 years later, our children or grand children may reap its fruit. With this determination, we started this venture. Team

Whereas, Ayesha Siddiqa suggested the venue and coordinated with the principal 'Govt elementary girls high school' Chowk fawara. We remain thankful to them all for their services and support.

Summer is finally here, although, the weather still turns unpredictable at times. But still, one feels like taking a dip in the cool, cool water of a crystal clear pool. M.G.M (Multan Garrison Mess. Commonly known among Multanis, by its' old name 'services club'), opens up, pool doors for all its' members every 15th of April. The pool is open air, so it works on seasonal basis. From April to September/ October (if weather allows it).

MGM pool has always been, undoubtedly the biggest & the best in this city, with an excellent filtration plant to boast & an extremely dedicated team of military men as workers, for maintaining th...
