Students, boy scouts, volunteers of civil defence, municipal workers and other government employees took part in the activity and sowed about 5,000 seedlings in a day.
Under the Miyawaki plantation technique, the saplings are planted close to each other in the area and the plants under this method grow faster than a normal plantation.
On this occasion, the Bannu commissioner said plantation under the new method had been carried out for the first time in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “If proved successful this method will also be implemented in other parts of the province,” he maintained.
