The mission of clean and green Pakistan will run throughout the country and CHEPS members living in different cities of Pakistan will carry out the message in their respective cities throughout the year. This is a very positive message given by Chitralis to every Pakistani that global warming is never local and the burnings and other wastes in factories of the big cities are directly responsible for the melting of glaciers and natural disasters in areas like Chitral which do not majorly contribute to the global warming. –Abdul Wahid Khan]]>
