If special attention is not paid to the protection of the city, the harmful effects of pollution will increase shortly.  She praised the efforts of the POA Environment Commission for the elimination of environmental pollution and appealed to the public to do more to achieve a happy and healthy society free from density.

Acknowledging the efforts of Tehmina Asif, she also appealed to the people to fulfil their national responsibility by planting more greenery and trees, ensuring a density-free, happy and healthy society.
