Khayaban-e-Firdousi Road develops six cave-ins during Lahore monsoon spell

Lahore: Main Khayaban-e-Firdousi Road has developed nearly six cave-ins within a few days during the ongoing monsoon spell, raising serious concerns over road quality and drainage management. Citizens say the issue has appeared at different points, including areas near UCP, despite previous development work on the road. Locals claim temporary soil filling is used to cover damaged sections, but after rainfall the soil becomes soft again and traffic pressure causes fresh collapses. Heavy vehicles, including buses, have reportedly worsened the damaged patches, creating accident risks for daily commuters. Residents have demanded permanent repair work and stronger preventive measures so rain does not turn into a recurring problem. Will authorities investigate the repeated road failures?
