Parks and Horticulture Agency (PHA) on Thursday completed the construction of a flower market outside Nawaz Sharif Park on Shamsabad Double Road to facilitate flower lovers.
The flower market was completed at the cost of Rs 2.6 million where people would be given shops via open tenders.
PHA Managing Director Capt (R) Mushtaq said that a detailed strategy had been formed to make Rawalpindi a clean and green city. He said that for the first time in the history of Rawalpindi a flower market had been constructed.
The managing director said PHA had also upgraded the Ladies Park in Satellite Town.
Capt (R) Mushtaq said that the market held long term benefits and therefore more flower markets would be constructed near all main markets of the garrison city.
He said that the authority also planted flowers and trees every year in tree plantation campaigns to make the city more beautiful and pollution free.
He appealed to the citizens to cooperate with the authority in keeping the city clean and green.
