PESHAWAR, Sept 7: Public representatives of Union Council No.16 on Thursday launched a campaign to beautify the area by placing flower-pots, removing wall chalking and painting electricity poles and drain covers.

“We plan to place about 1,000 flowerpots in the union council for which the Town-I administration has promised to provide four gardeners,”, UC Nazim Mohammad Ali Safi and Naib Nazim Mian Iftikhar said. These flowerpots would be purchased at an estimated cost of Rs500,000. They said the union council has been divided into four zones and 250 flower-pots would be placed in each zone.

Local people would be requested to take care of the plants, they said. The campaign includes replacement of old sheds by shopkeepers. They said they had also launched an anti-encroachment drive.—APP
