MIANWALI, June 29: Punjab Revenue Minister Gul Hameed Khan Rokhri on Thursday criticized the felling of century-old trees in the city by the Tehsil Municipal Administration.

He said though the provincial government was making efforts to bring about a green revolution by planting trees, the Mianwali TMA was working against the plan.

He said the district nazim and the DCO should take stock of the situation and stop the municipal administration from uprooting trees without which the city looks deserted.

He said the TMA could earn only Rs2.5 million from auction of these trees and the amount was too meagre to start any development project. He said he would take up the matter with the chief minister.

OUTSTANDING RESULTS: The Abdul Razzaq Fazaia College has shown outstanding results as all its candidates have got through the matriculation examination conducted by the federal board, this year too.

According to the notification, all 107 students who appeared in science group have been declared successful. Fourty-two students have secured A+ grade, 31 (A grade) and 34 have been placed in B grade.
