The PHA officials said that the residents of Lahore can obtain free plants by calling the authority’s helpline 1399, after which plantation teams visit their homes to deliver and plant saplings. On the first day of the initiative, the helpline received 272 calls from citizens requesting free plants. PHA teams visited 150 homes and planted saplings, while the remaining 122 requests will be processed on a priority basis, officials said.
