Road Cave-In in Ludhiana Highlights Concerns Over Underlying Infrastructure
A section of Suman Hospital Road near Sharma Halwai Chowk in Ludhiana caved in due to soil erosion caused by a leaking private water connection, which has since been repaired by the municipal corporation. Residents and activists noted that a smaller cave-in had occurred at the same spot about 1.5 years ago, raising concerns about underlying infrastructure issues such as water leakage or sewer damage. Repeated cave-ins in various city locations have prompted calls for thorough inspections rather than temporary fixes to ensure road safety.
