The meeting was attended by:
Zaheer Siddiqui
Nabeel Khan
Tamkinat Karim
Rafay Alam
Ahmad Raza Khan
Natasha Mohammad Zai
Iftikhar Ahmed
Imrana Tiwana
Rafay informed the group of his meeting with a transport engineer regarding the environment impact assessment report of the Canal Road widening project. He said that the EIA report was flawed because it did not contain surveys the impacts on air and sound pollution the project would have. Nor did it contain any information about severance and safety issues created by the widening of a road (especially in an academic area around Punjab University). He said that he would coordinate with Eram Aftab and have an application challenging the EIA report ready to be filed before the Pak – Environment Protection Agency in Islamabad. Rafay informed that a stay application had been filed in the Lahore High Court to reactivate the Lahore Bachao/WWF Pakistan writ petition.
Natasha informed she had obtained approval from the TV channel and that she would begin filming the 35 minute documentary (on the development and environment issues facing Lahore) on Monday. Natasha and Rafay to coordinate a possible Friday location selection trip.
Tamkinat informed the group about t-shirts. A design was finalized. Tamkinat to refer t-shirt printer to Rafay for further action. Rafay to ensure that LBT pamphlets are gotten from Feryal Gauhar's residence and placed in the packaging of every t-shirt.
Tamkinat also informed the group that a large event this time of year would not be feasible. As an alternative, she suggested a poster campaign. It was decided that 50 banners would be printed displaying Lahore Bachao slogans to be put up on the trees along the Canal next Thursday 20 August 2009. Cost of the banners will be covered by donations from members (members are requested to bring donation money to the next meeting). Slogans were selected and banner designs finalized. Banners are to be ready by next meeting. Imrana to seek permission of PHA to put banners up. Iftikhar and Tamkinat are in charge of organizing banners.
The next meeting of the Lahore Bachao Tehreek will be held at the Variety Books Café at 6pm on Wednesday 19 August 2009. Members are requested to attend the next meeting as it will be the day before a Lahore Bachao event. Media responsibilities will be assigned and your assistance and support will ensure the event is a success.
