A division bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) here on Thursday issued notice to Punjab government for April 6 in an Intra Court Appeal (ICA) challenging dismissal of a petition by a single bench against construction of flyover at Kalma Chowk.
The petitioners Lahore Conservation Society and others challenged the Kalma Chowk flyover project on the grounds that provisions of Pakistan Environment Protection Act (PEPA) 1997 and Procurement Rules had been violated by the authorities concerned before approving the project.
They said the construction of the project resulted in cutting of dozens of plants and trees, devastating the biodiversity of the area. The petitioners prayed to the court to set aside decision of the single bench and the sanction of the project be declared illegal.
