The Rs1.63 billion underground parking plaza project at historic Nasir Bagh in Lahore has been temporarily halted by the Lahore High Court following sustained civil society opposition. Activists and historians—including Dr. Ajaz Anwar of the Lahore Conservation Society—criticized the transplantation of 123 trees (including neem, peepal, sheesham, and date palms), warning of high mortality rates due to winter transplantation and citing violations of environmental safeguards. The court ordered strict compliance with environmental laws, including mandatory environmental impact assessments and legal clearances before resuming work.
Massive Tree Removal at Nasir Bagh Sparks Public Outcry Over Environmental Degradation
