Islamabad: According to a news source, on Friday, British High Commissioner Dr Christian Turner cleaned up hiking trails after the visitors left their garbage.
Dr Turner tweeted, “another Friday morning walk, another two bags of litter. Safaai nisf imaan hai.” He shared a picture with garbage bags on the tweeter. He also urged the citizens to keep the city clean. Further, he hashtagged Deputy Commissioner Islamabad and Clean Green Pakistan.
Moreover, he was appreciated by the people and celebrities for this act. Wasim Akram criticized the nation, “now this is really embarrassing. Where are we heading? And thanks Mr. Turner for doing this every week.”
Further, the others tweeted in response that thank you for your efforts. They also hoped that the next generation will take care of the litter.

DC Islamabad also shared his video in which he was collecting the waste. He said that people do not care about the garbage after aftari and throw it in the forest. “It is our duty to keep our city clean,” said the DC Islamabad.
“There are no bins for visitors to throw their trash. We begged and pleaded with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to allow us to install monkey proof trash bins, but they declined” said Islamabad Wildlife Management Board Chairperson Rina Saeed Khan.
