The infrastructure issues in Rawalpindi and the broader Punjab region have become a significant concern, as highlighted by recent reports from Tribune Latest and other sources. Girja Road, a critical thoroughfare in Rawalpindi, has deteriorated drastically, with potholes reaching depths of up to one foot and constant submersion in sewage water. This has led to rapid deterioration of public transport vehicles, typically within two to three months, as noted in the Tribune Latest article. Federal Minister Ameer Muqam has expressed his concern, promising to discuss the matter with the Punjab chief minister. The road's poor condition is exacerbated by uncovered manholes and stagnant sewage, posing severe risks to commuters. This situation reflects a broader issue across Punjab, where open sewers and incomplete infrastructure projects have resulted in numerous accidents, including four deaths and seven injuries in January 2026 alone, as reported by Tribune Latest.
