This initiative is undertaken to improve the aesthetic look of the capital and to create recreational activity opportunities for the residents, visitors and general public.

On the occasion, Sheikh Ansar Aziz, Mayor of Islamabad, said, “I am glad to be part of this CSR initiative with PTCL for the beautification of Islamabad, under the Clean and Green movement.
