A motorcyclist narrowly avoided serious injury after plunging into a deep, rainwater-filled pit in Lahore’s Shahdara Town area. The incident occurred in Rasul Park, where rainwater had accumulated following sewerage excavation work.
CCTV footage, which emerged on Tuesday, shows the citizen leaving home on his motorbike when he unexpectedly fell into the uncovered, waterlogged pit. Residents quickly rushed to his aid, pulling him out safely and averting a potential drowning incident.
Despite several days having passed since the rainfall, significant pools of stagnant water persist in various localities of Shahdara Town, including Muslim Park and Hasnain Colony. Other affected areas encompass Rajput Park, Chand Khan Shaheed Chowk, Siraj Park, and Pracha Colony. Standing water has also been reported on Jhularan Road, Haq Bahu Road, Raheem Bakhsh Road, Bukhari Park, and adjacent neighborhoods, causing ongoing difficulties for local residents.
