Pakistani court orders work to stop on Lahore metro line

LAHORE, Pakistan, Jan 29 (Reuters) A Pakistani court has ordered construction of the country's first metro train line to stop after campaigners in the city of Lahore argued that the project endangered historical buildings.
Lahore High Court issued a stay order late yesterday suspending all work within 200 feet (61 metres) of 11 buildings of historical value, said Azhar Siddique, a lawyer and petitioner in the case.
Buildings deemed at risk include the Mughal Fort and Shalamar Gardens complex - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - a nineteenth century British-built church and the Victorian-era General Post Office.
