Despite facing legal challenges and public opposition, construction of the underground parking plaza at Nasir Bagh continues. Official channels like NESPAK and government pages have posted recent progress updates (as recent as April 2026) showing significant milestones achieved. Key completed and ongoing works include piling (100%), excavation (92%), and concrete pouring for the raft foundation (59%). Authorities maintain the project will ease congestion and enhance urban experience, claiming tree relocation was handled responsibly.

The controversial underground parking project at historic Nasir Bagh faces significant legal hurdles. An urgent petition filed in December 2025 seeking to halt the project due to environmental concerns experienced repeated delays in the Lahore High Court, effectively allowing construction to proceed. The court has previously warned of FIR registration for unauthorized tree-cutting and emphasized that environmental laws must be strictly followed. Critics argue the delay denies justice and enables irreversible ecological damage to one of Lahore's last historic green spaces.

The plan to build an underground parking facility in Nasir Bagh has sparked widespread criticism from civil society, environmentalists, and citizens. Opponents argue the project destroys a vital historic green space and urban lung in a severely polluted city, with reports indicating 123 trees were uprooted and water structures dismantled. Protests have been held, and coalitions of organizations have petitioned the courts, calling the development a violation of constitutional rights to a healthy environment and a misguided priority amidst Lahore's ecological crisis.
