The Lahore High Court (LHC) here on Tuesday directed Chairman Traffic Engineering Transport Planning Agency (TEPA) to submit his report within two days in a petition challenging removing of road U-turn to General Hospital for Rapid Transit Bus System (RTBS).
The petitioner (a citizen) submitted that Punjab government had launched RTBS project and authorities have removed U-turn in front of General Hospital and shifted it to at a distance of four kilometer. He pointed out that this action will cause inconvenience to ambulances in shifting serious patients to emergency of the hospital as they would have to take a long detour to reach hospital. He therefore prayed to the court to directed authorities concerned to reverse the decision of removing U-turn to the hospital.
