The Supreme Court of Pakistan has given conditional permission for cutting of trees for construction of a road adjacent to the bank of BRB Canal in Lahore.
The SC ordered the Punjab Government to declare all trees planted besides the bank of BRB Canal as public property and present a detailed report before the court within the next six weeks.
The court linked the cutting of those trees with the approval of the reconciliation committee and instructed the provincial government to plant four new trees in place of every chopped tree and issue all details to the media.
