By The Green Pakistan initiative aims to cultivate 70 lakh acres of land in Cholistan, Punjab. However, concerns have been raised about the project’s feasibility and potential impact on the region’s ecosystem. The project’s reliance on rainfall and groundwater has sparked debates about its sustainability.
Critics argue that the project may exacerbate existing water scarcity issues in the region, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan. Moreover, the involvement of corporate farming and foreign investment has raised concerns about land ownership and the potential displacement of local communities.
The project’s proponents claim that it will bring economic benefits and create jobs, but opponents argue that the project’s environmental and social costs outweigh its potential benefits. As the project moves forward, it remains to be seen how these concerns will be addressed and whether the Green Pakistan initiative will truly benefit the region and its people.
