Yellow Line Mass Transit Project on Canal Road Stalled Amid Legal Challenges and Public Opposition
The Yellow Line mass-transit project planned along Lahore’s Canal Road remains stalled in bureaucratic files despite a prior government commitment to complete it by June of the following year. Civil society groups, environmental activists, and local residents have intensified opposition, labeling the scheme 'needless' due to its threat to the historic Lahore Canal — a protected heritage site — and the thousands of mature trees lining its banks. Legal challenges are ongoing, and the Lahore High Court has issued directives against tree felling. The project lacks transparency, with no finalized Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or public consultation, and faces criticism for bypassing Lahore’s 2050 Master Plan and JICA’s earlier transport recommendations.
