It all started from the idea of planting few trees in our surroundings and soon became "Sheen Pekhawar" which was then extended to "Sheen Khyber Pukhtunkhwa". When we started contacting people to motivate them to take part in the plantation campaign, we were amazed by the positive response given by people. Soon we were in contact with great volunteers from different areas. FATA was one of the areas where residents have a keen interest in plantation. Volunteers of FATA showed great commitment and enthusiasm. Students of different schools and colleges participated actively in the campaign. Now by the grace of Al mighty Allah, we are in a position to extend and manage the program not only in KPK but also in FATA. So the program is renamed to "Sheen Watan".

REDA is looking for participants, donors, volunteers, advisers for their proposed project of GREEN REVOLUTION 2012.
Details of the proposal are;
Introduction
According to 1998 census, Peshawar is the highest populated district of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. It is also an industrial hub of the province. These industries and millions of vehicles used by the locals’ emit toxic gases that have a negative impact on the environment. A steep loss in the number of trees and plants is also noticed in Peshawar and its peripheries due to new roads. To attain the environmental equilibrium, a highly proactive plantation campaign is needed; in which communities/students/businessmen and locals are mobilized and encouraged to actively participate.
Objective:
1. To plant 100,000 saplings of different species in District Peshawar and FATA through plantation campaign “Green Revolution 2012”.
2. Awareness campaigns among locals regarding environmental issues; causes, effects and actions.

Have a look at these snaps. These are from different areas of Peshawar. I shot these when some of my students wanted to capture images of the deprived kids for a photo exhibition to show them to the rest of the society.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has planned to establish a new township with the name of ‘Peshawar Model City’ on the outskirts of the capital city to provide better residential facilities to the citizens.
“The new township spread over 14,600 acres will have about 80,000 plots of different sizes, and as such this will be the largest township of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” officials in Peshawar Development Authority told this correspondent on Monday.
In this connection, Senior Minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour chaired a meeting, which was also attended by secretary local government and rural development Aurangzaib Khan, PDA director general Qazi Laiq Khan, DG local government Haji Abdul Jalil and other officials, according to a handout.
It said that the new township would be completed at a cost of Rs140 billion and the PDA had asked different line departments such as Pesco, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited and PTCL to work out plans concerning the township.
The officials said that with the establishment of new township the southern area of Peshawar would also be developed as the PDA would spend over Rs10 billion on different link roads.
According to the initial plan, they said that in the first phase the township would be developed on 8,000 acre at a cost of Rs78 billion in five years and in the second five-year phase the township on 6,000 acre more would be constructed at a cost of Rs62 billion.
Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act on the selected land will be imposed within few days for acquiring land, they said and added that the selected land was barren and rocky. The officials, however, refused to disclose the location where the new township would be established because before imposition of Section 4 the land mafia could buy the land.
The officials said that the establishment of the model city would discourage illegal housing societies. “We will give the people a township having a proper master plan with all basic facilities and security,” they said.
During the meeting, Mr Bilour also directed the PDA officials to accelerate construction work on the Regi Model Town, a project initiated some 20 years back but couldn’t be completed due to dispute on the land, said the handout.
Several people were injured in a suicide blast that occurred in the main market of Darra Adam Khel, on Friday.
Commissioner of Kohat said that the suicide bomber ripped through the main market as a result several people were injured. The injured were being rushed to the nearby hospitals.
Security forces have cordoned off the area after the incident.
