Ludhiana Municipal Corporation Investigates Road Cave-Ins and Defers Repairs Amid Monsoon
The Ludhiana Municipal Corporation is investigating recent road cave-ins in Kitchlu Nagar and near Sagoo Chowk. A committee led by Deputy Mayor Prince Johar is probing the Kitchlu Nagar incident, possibly linked to underground cable laying, and may take action against the responsible company. Meanwhile, repairs near Sagoo Chowk have been deferred due to monsoon rains, as soil erosion from a sewer breach caused the collapse. The MC is reviewing sewer safety across the city, focusing on vulnerable areas to prevent further incidents.
