LAHORE - The Lahore High Court has hinted at sending the Orange Line Metro Train Project to the NAB for thorough probe.
LHC on Tuesday expressed annoyance over giving playgrounds of Punjab University and Government College University to former Punjab government of PML-N for the construction of Lahore Orange Train project.
As hearing started, PU's legal adviser informed the court that former vice-chancellor Mujahid Kamran handed over playground to contractor after getting approval from University's syndicate. GCU's counsel said land was given to contractor after a mutual agreement was inked between both sides. The court got furious and remarked that Orange Train project has ruined Lahore's beauty. How a playground could be given for any other purposes in sheer violation of Supreme Court's order. Who is responsible for depriving students of games for years, the court posed a question. Why the assets of the construction company should not be frozen for using playground and not paying a single penny for it, the judge remarked, adding that the court is looking the entire issue minutely and pondering to refer the matter to NAB. The court also directed a construction company to deposit Rs4 million in the court and adjourned the hearing.
