Christian community protests against takeover of UCH land - Lahore_Real_Estate - 08-23-2010 12:15 PM
LAHORE: Members of the Christian community on Sunday blocked the road in front of the United Christian Hospital (UCH) and protested against the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) and Traffic Planning and Engineering Agency (TEPA).
Protesters claimed they were members of the UCH Survival Movement and were protesting against the LDA and TEPA as these authorities were trying to occupy UCH’s land in order to construct a parking plaza. They said that the government authorities had assured them they would give the 30-kanal piece of land in Gulberg to the Christian community but had not fulfilled their promise. A number of female protesters were also present on the occasion.
The Christian activists shouted slogans and held up posters for their demands. They alleged that some people from the Christian community were also bargaining with the government to sell the land belonging to the UCH.
