Repeated Road Cave-Ins in Ludhiana Linked to Pipeline Damage and Illegal Sewage
Ludhiana has experienced multiple road cave-ins this year, with the latest near Saggu Chowk caused by water seepage weakening the soil beneath the road. Municipal Corporation officials identified damaged pipelines and illegal sewer connections as key factors eroding the subgrade soil. Repair work was promptly undertaken, and authorities have taken steps to prevent further damage by addressing unauthorized sewer links. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about the city's aging underground infrastructure and its impact on road safety.
