A major new bridge is under construction across the Ravi River near the GT Road Shahdara interchange, spearheaded by Habib Rafiq (Pvt.) Ltd. as a core infrastructure component of the Lahore Smart City project. The bridge is designed to provide the shortest and fastest link to Lahore’s central districts and direct access to Lahore International Airport, positioning it as a transformative addition to the city’s transport network.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused the Ravi River to swell significantly, placing severe pressure on the existing Ravi Bridge and triggering flood alerts across Shahdara. Media footage confirmed floodwaters entering a lavish private housing society in eastern Lahore, prompting immediate police-led evacuations. Authorities emphasized that illegal riverbed constructions—including housing colonies—exacerbate flood risks and endanger downstream communities.
Pakistan’s Climate Change Minister Musadik Malik issued a strong public warning against housing colonies built on riverbeds, explicitly naming them 'agents of destruction' for vulnerable populations. He stressed that such developments obstruct natural floodplains, convert debris into lethal projectiles during floods, and undermine national water conservation goals. The government announced deployment of satellites, drones, and AI to monitor and enforce removal of illegal structures.
