The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) initiated a multi-phase infrastructure project in March 2026 to widen roads and upgrade drainage along the Sikanderabad–Bahria Town thoroughfare, aiming to alleviate chronic traffic congestion and reduce flood risk. The project, scheduled for completion by late-2027, includes construction of two new under-passes, modernized street lighting, and a centralized storm-water management system.
A fire broke out on 12 April 2026 in a five-storey residential building on Shah-Alam Road in Sikanderabad, prompting the evacuation of over 200 residents. City officials responded by launching a comprehensive review of fire-safety compliance standards for high-rise structures across the neighbourhood.
The Sikanderabad Mall opened in early May 2026, introducing over 150 retail outlets, a cinema complex, and a food-court — representing a significant milestone for local economic development and employment generation in the area.
