Monsoon Rain Exposes Road Damage and Waterlogging Problems in Ludhiana
Ludhiana faces recurring road issues exacerbated by monsoon rains, including potholes, waterlogging, and road cave-ins. Key areas like Sherpur road, Municipal Corporation office road, and Mint Gumri Chowk suffer from damaged surfaces and soil erosion linked to underground sewer and water pipe problems. Temporary repairs have been insufficient, causing hazards for motorists and pedestrians. Waterlogging disrupts traffic and daily commutes, especially near underpasses and low-lying areas. Officials acknowledge delays in repairs due to rain and plan to address the issues soon.
