Ludhiana, Aug. 12 -- Nearly ten days after a road cave-in at Mintgumri Chowk, the municipal corporation (MC) is yet to complete its repair work, leaving thousands of daily commuters inconvenienced and at risk. The spot remains covered with MC barricades and rope, but impatient commuters have started moving them aside to cross the damaged stretch.

The cave-in, which occurred around 10 days ago, had forced the MC to block the section for safety reasons. Officials had promised swift repairs, but the work has not progressed, and the area remains in a dangerous state. With traffic pressure mounting, especially during peak hours, two-wheelers and pedestrians are now bypassing the barricades, increasing the possibility of accidents.
