Tree planting initiatives need buy-in from all the stake holders - Case in point...Pakistan
Locals uproot trees of PTI lawmaker's plantation campaign in Khyber over land dispute
The newly-planted trees of a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lawmaker's plantation campaign were uprooted Sunday by locals of the Mandi Kas area in Khyber Agency over what they said was "forceful plantation on private land".
Chaos ensued immediately after PTI lawmaker Iqbal Afridi's campaign — part of the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami initiative being commemorated on Tiger Force Day — concluded and residents of the area arrived at the site to remove the newly-planted trees.
One of the men who uprooted dozens of plants said the tree plantation drive had been "forcefully" carried out "on private land" of citizens.
