About the ride last Sunday. The lovely place called Nilan Bhotu. #MTBIslamabad @PakistanJannatt @Pakistaninpics @Islamabadies @MargallaHNP

The work has been started for the bicycle tracks in Islamabad. Meeting with the @CDAthecapital people on different sites. You will see some nice changes in Islamabad soon. Let's make our city a bicycle friendly city. #CyclingISB @Islamabadies @HaroonGeneral

@umayrsahlan @Islamabadies @KlasraRauf @dawn_com The tree is there & will stay there. I have directed the teams to take care of it on regular basis.

Evictions continue at an increasing pace under the farcical regime in power. This time for land for forces-who-must-not-be-named and rumors of golf courses being planned to replace Islamabad's historic villages. Clearly no one has a right to this city except those with guns.

Chairman CDA has said the tree will be protected and will be maintained by @CDAthecapital as well. Such a good news and absolutely amazing to have a nature loving official heading the office. #islamabad

@kaamran @MariaPtweets @AwaisSpeakss @umayrsahlan @ForestGuard4 @CDAthecapital @Islamabadies @KlasraRauf @dawn_com @ClimateChangePK @PakEPAIslamabad @dgprPaknavy's golf course in Sector E-8 (next to Faisal Mosque) was declared "illegal" & an encroachment of Margalla Hills National Park by Islamabad High Court in Jan 2022. IHC ordered it to be restored as part of MHNP. @DGPR_PAF golf course is in E-9. twitter.com/desmukh/status…

The most ridiculous part is that the Navy and Air Force both built their own separate golf courses in the Margalla Hills, literally 5 mins away from each other

A beautiful morning in the Margallas. Heavenly 😍 @CyclingIsb @MTBIslamabad @PakistanJannatt @Pakistaninpics @Islamabadies

@Noormengal_ #Panjpeer #Rocks could've easily become the mountain biking capital of Asia, if only we had adventure tourism in our priorities 😞. It's like Moab in Utah. I wish it happens one day. From our last ride there: youtu.be/hQPSgyj2Tkw @gmbntweet @PakistanJannatt @Pakistaninpics

Teams have visited the site, there are no such plans to remove this Banyan tree. Directed the staff to take care of it on regular basis.

The ancient 1000 yr+ old Banyan tree at Sinyari is a national treasure. I'm outraged of reports that @CDAthecapital wants to cut it down for a golf course! There are hardly any trees like it left in ISB. The incredible tree needs to be saved. @Islamabadies @KlasraRauf @dawn_com

@MargallaHNP @dawn_com @fauziaminallah @Islamabadies @Pakistaninpics @PakistanJannatt @rinasaeed @WildlifeBoard @TassadaqMalik5 @IslamabadScene @GovtofPakistan @CDAthecapital @DGEnvtCDA How can anyone think of cutting this thing of beauty 💔 That's the crown of the Margalla Hills National Park. Don't we want our kids to sit under this tree & enjoy nature? Protect this Tree #SaveMHNP @Islamabadies @Pakistaninpics @PakistanJannatt

This 500+ year old blessing is in danger of being cut away 😭 The Banyan Tree of Sinyari. This needs protection. An article in @dawn_com by @fauziaminallah dawn.com/news/1776289 #SaveMHNP @Islamabadies @Pakistaninpics @PakistanJannatt

Sights & Sounds from the beautiful Sajikot waterfall. From @MTBIslamabad ride on the #IndependenceDay. #Pakistan @PakistanJannatt @Pakistaninpics

Margalla is a complete ecosystem. Yesterday's event about a dead monkey is a normal thing in the wild. We, the humans, have to stop interfering with their ecosystem. We think its cute to feed monkeys there but actually we're damaging their ecosystem. Please STOP. @Islamabadies

Look at the size of it. The Single Biggest Encroachment in the Margalla Hills National Park. It is called #MONAL. Ever growing, isn't it? & It is Illegal. Any plans for any action against IT @CDAthecapital @Noormengal_ @membercda @WildlifeBoard @PakEPAIslamabad @Islamabadies

All this infrastructure built for a climate that actually no longer exists! #ClimateCrisis

The Japanese call it forest bathing! @WildlifeBoard
