LAHORE: In line with the Clean and Green Pakistan initiative of Prime Minister of Pakistan, the National Transmission and Despatch Company Limited (NTDC) will plant 0.1 million trees at its 500kV and 220 kV grid stations across the country. In this regard, tree plantation ceremony was held at 500kV under construction grid station Faisalabad West on Thursday where Managing Director NTDC Engr. Muhammad Ayub planted a tree.
During the ceremony, MD NTDC Engr. Muhammad Ayub said that trees will be planted at all grid stations of NTDC.
