Farman highlighted that the large-scale projects have provided an exponential uptick for KP’s growing economy, and the recent results stand in justification of it.
For instance, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s Billion Tree Tsunami Project, which was launched last year, won international appreciation from environmental organizations across the globe. Their letters of recognition were read out before a cabinet meeting by the Adviser to PM on Climate Change, Malik Amin Aslam.
