LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that efforts were under way to resume work on Orange Line Metro Train, which was delayed due to legal issues.
He was talking to the China Exim Bank Vice Chairperson Liu Liange on Tuesday. He also told him that “each penny received from China is being spent [carefully].”
The work on Orange Line Metro Train was halted when a case was filed in Supreme court against the project. The main concern was that it was detrimental to important heritage sites.
On August 19, 2016, the Lahore High Court had directed all construction work to be halted within a distance of 200 feet of around 11 heritage sites, including Shalimar Gardens, Gulabi Bagh Gateway, Chauburji, Buddhu ka Awa, Zebunnisa’s Tomb, Lakshmi Building, General Post Office, Aiwan-e-Auqaf, SC Lahore registry building, St Andrews Presbyterian Church on Nabha Road and Baba Mauj Darya Bukhari’s Shrine.
The Orange Line Metro Train project is a project of the Punjab government which promises to lay a 27.1-kilometre rapid transit line which is expected to benefit 250,000 people every day.
