Sheikhupura (APP): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said the Ravi River Urban Project, besides its environmental benefits, was expected to generate $40 billion in revenue for the country.“The project will not only prove beneficial for Lahore, but for the entire country in addressing the environmental and financial problems,” he said at the launch of the country’s first-ever ‘Smart Forest’ near Sheikhupura under the Ravi Urban project.The prime minister said the project would stop the sewage water seep into Punjab’s River Ravi, which ultimately flowed up to the River Indus passing through Sindh.Under the Ravi Urban project, he said, around 10 million trees would be planted beside the construction of three barrages at the river. Filtration plants will ensure the provision of clean water to the public, he added.He asked Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar to remain undeterred amidst challenges and work towards the timely completion of the project.Imran Khan termed water scarcity, deforestation, and glacier melting the biggest challenge for the country, which was among the ten most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.(Please send your news, article, pictorial to our email address <editor@enewspaper.com.pk &WhatsApp +923132434567 / +923332100737PLEASE SEND YOUR COMMENTS Thanks)(facebook ID shujaullahk)https://www.facebook.com/Newspaper on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Enewspapercompk-182394028490643(twitter: KhanShujaullah)https://www.twitter.com/home(linkedin: shuja-ullah-khan)https://www.linkedin.com/feed/
