Dr. Mukhtar Bharath, Prime Minister’s Coordinator for Health, has stated that the environmental experts have identified wild mulberry trees as a major cause of allergic reactions due to their pollen release.

Therefore, a full-fledged program has already been drawn up and is under implementation. Dr. Bharath recently chaired a meeting to review the escalating crisis regarding pollen allergies in Islamabad, where representatives from the Capital Development Authority (CDA) shared updates on their efforts to remove wild mulberry trees.

Notably, out of 7,000, more than 5,000 wild mulberries have become a point of removal at F-9 Park as part of the phased plan.

Dr. Bharath emphasized that this is part of their ongoing effort to eliminate pollen allergies from the region, and at the same time, they’re planting new, environmentally friendly trees to promote a healthier ecosystem.

The removal of wild mulberry trees in the H-8 and H-9 sectors near the Shakarparian area of the Margalla Hills is also underway, with the remaining trees set to be cut down by April.

The government is committed to controlling pollen allergies and improving the overall air quality for Islamabad’s residents, which is a huge relief for those affected by this issue.
