During the hearing, a member of the judicial commission informed the court that the government was planning to start a Yellow Train Line Electric Transit project along the canal, which could involve cutting down trees.

The judge made it clear that the court would not allow any tree cutting on Canal Road. He said, “The beauty of Lahore’s trees is only preserved along the canal.”

Justice Karim also expressed concern over the lack of action by the environment department. He noted that despite hiring a new environmental force, smoke-emitting vehicles were still on the roads while the force was nowhere to be seen. He asked for a report on the deployment of the environmental staff and their efforts to control smog and pollution.

During the hearing, Advocate Mian Irfan Akram, representing the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA), told the court that water meters would soon be installed in Lahore. He presented a sample meter and said the first phase would cover commercial sites.

He added that all digging work in the city would be completed by the end of July.The hearing was adjourned till June 27.
