Lahore: November 2, 2015. (PCP) As anger was mounting among Christians of Pakistan that historical landmark St. Andrew Church Lahore building will be affected by Orange Line construction under progress by government of Punjab and civil society protested at other heritage site Chuburji today for protection of such landmarks. The Chief of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif in a Facebook posting said “I am seeing a lot of rumors circulating about proposed demolishing of some historical places for Orange Line Metro Train… I would officially like to declare such rumors as baseless and part of propaganda … Before initiating this project; it was our principled decision not to harm any historical place including Chuburji, GPO & St. Andrews Church etc… I have personally presided over a number of meetings to ensure that all such landmarks are protected and preserved in their actual condition as they define the culture and heritage of Lahore … I have been informed that ‘Leader’ of a certain political party was also involved in spreading such rumors … I believe that national leaders must confirm facts before spreading a word because they influence and shape public opinion…. We all must act responsibly as honorable citizens of Pakistan.” DG Lahore Development Authority added that “The alignment of lahore orange line metro train project is not affecting the heritage assets such as Shalamar Garden, Buddhu's Tomb, Gulabi Bagh Gateway at G.T road, Choburji, Tomb of Zeb-un-Nisa,GPO and Supreme Court building which are along the metro train alignment. Special care has been taken by the designers in keeping away from the monuments by making curves where necessary in the given limitations so that heritage sites are protected besides minimising acquisiton of private properties in the vicinity" Under the Antiquities Act 1975, no development schemes and new constructions can be undertaken near a heritage site, unless a distance of 200 hundred feet is maintained. The Orange Line seems to be on track to crash through not only the act, but plenty of other laws.
