Jalandhar eye doctors launch green initiative to beautify city

Jalandhar – Ophthalmologists from Akāl I Hospital and Lesik Laser Center have unveiled a dedicated environmental campaign aimed at making the city greener. The initiative, announced on the hospital premises, positions eye doctors as custodians of both visual health and the local environment.
The programme will focus on tree‑planting drives, neighborhood clean‑up activities and public awareness workshops about the link between air quality and eye health. Organisers plan to involve patients, staff and local volunteers over the coming months.
Hospital officials said the effort reflects a broader commitment to community well‑being, emphasizing that a cleaner, greener environment can reduce eye‑related ailments caused by pollution. The campaign will be coordinated with municipal authorities to identify suitable planting sites across Jalandhar.
Residents are encouraged to join the activities, which are scheduled to commence next week, with regular updates to be shared through the hospital’s social media channels.
The initiative marks a novel step for a medical institution in Punjab, blending health services with environmental stewardship.
