He said such an initiative will create “a beautiful path, exhibiting not only the physical improvement of the place, but the improvement of the environment that can help us all.” He also noted that it will help with people’s mental health and thinking. “We want to lead from the front in showcasing what we can do as citizens,” President Ali contended.
