The Lahore High Court has instructed the Punjab government to appoint an international consultant for the environmental assessment of the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development project.
In a hearing on Thursday, Justice Shahid Karim directed the authorities to form an environmental protection cell within two weeks.
Last month, the construction of the project was halted after the court said that the project has to be cleared by all environmental agencies.
