Repeated Road Cave-Ins on Ludhiana's Pakhowal Road Raise Infrastructure Concerns
Two recent cave-ins on Ludhiana's busy Pakhowal Road have raised safety concerns among residents and commuters. Despite recent repairs, portions of the road near Imperial Hotel and Kailash Chowk sank again, with locals attributing the damage to possible leakages in underground water-supply and sewerage lines. Activists and residents have called for a comprehensive city-wide inspection of roads and underground infrastructure to prevent further incidents, emphasizing that repeated surface repairs alone may not address the root causes.
