The Punjab government has given the green light to a 40-kilometer green corridor project in Lahore aimed at reducing air pollution and smog in the city.
This corridor will run from Shahdara to Raiwind, converting the land alongside the railway tracks into lush green belts.
The plan includes the creation of recreational areas at several locations, with old railway carriages being transformed into libraries and cafés to encourage community participation.
With an estimated budget exceeding Rs. 2.35 billion, the project will span around 700 kanals. The Punjab Housing Department has stated that the corridor is expected to be completed within a year. This initiative is part of a larger strategy to improve Lahore’s environment and public health.
