| DG LDA Aamir Ahmad Khan appeared in the court of Justice Lahore High Court Shahid Karim for the hearing of the case regarding Lahore Master Plan. The court said in his remarks that the drafting of Lahore Master Plan is a comprehensive and technical process, it would be better to review it to further refine the master planning proposals. The court remarked that further guidance from an international or local consultant for the review of the master plan should also be taken, the court wants an independent consultant to review it from all the aspects. Court remarked that the unplanned and environment damaging industries should be shifted out of the city on emergency basis and such industries should be shifted out of the city in two or three years in next phase.
Justice Shahid Kareem while giving remarks said that I myself have visited the outskirts of Lahore, it feels very painful that Greenery is getting badly damaged in the city and illegal housing societies are spreading rapidly. Strict action should be taken against illegal housing societies. The court has fixed the first week of March for further hearing of the case.
