Punjab Central Business District Development Authority (PCBDDA) is an executing authority to boost the economic activities in Punjab.

                                         

Kalma Chowk underpass is a gateway towards CBD Punjab’s main entrance. The authority has taken a leading step to revamp the entire Kalma Chowk underpass for smooth flow of traffic. The Kalma Chowk underpass has been designed with the consultation of all government stakeholders, may it be related to traffic, water and sanitisation, electricity, and others. 

The recent heavy rain spell created a havoc situation in the entire city of Lahore, where most of the main arteries have been flooded with rainwater. Kalma Chowk underpass also observed a similar situation. Water & and sewerage channels across the city have blocked water ways, creating large puddles and ponds, which is the main obstruction cause for the water to clear away. 

We once again wanted to clarify that we are only responsible for operational activities within the PCBDDA’s domain. For the infrastructural projects we have delivered or are in the pipeline, we can act only as an executing agency. 

The rainwater at the said underpass was not just direct rainfall but was also the accumulative water flow of adjoining localities overflowing the Saint Marry’ Park Pond. PCBDDA is working with other stakeholders to clear the underpass from rainwater. Despite the shortage of electricity, 8 water pumps mostly on generators are operational at this moment. It is estimated that traffic flow will be clear by later tonight. 

We regret this inconvenience and hope to clear underpass for traffic as soon as possible.
