Directing its attention to the critical issue of environmental pollution, Lahore High Court, on Tuesday, declared it mandatory for every person building a house in any residential scheme to plant at least two trees. Justice Jawad Hasan heard a petition on controlling environmental pollution in the country. As the hearing went underway, he noted, “This is the matter of country’s future.” In case of non-compliance with the court’s directive, the no-objection certificate of such housing societies would be cancelled, the justice remarked. Justice Hasan also ordered the authorities to furnish policies to force factories to comply with pro-environment measures.
