Residents Raise Concerns Over Road Recarpeting During Rain in Ludhiana
Residents of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar in Ludhiana have expressed concerns over the quality of a Rs 6.5-crore road recarpeting project after work continued during intermittent rain. The project, launched by the Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT) to repair internal roads in several colonies, faced criticism for construction amid wet conditions, which residents fear may affect road durability. They also noted the absence of senior LIT officials at the site and urged adherence to technical standards to ensure proper use of public funds.
