In late May 2026, heavy rains caused the Ravi River to overflow, leading to flooding in five Lahore localities—including Old Officers Colony in the Cantonment area. Municipal rescue and relief operations were launched, and officials issued warnings about water-logging while accelerating drainage repairs. Residents were evacuated, and relief camps were set up in schools with meals and bedding provided.
The Old Officers Colony remains a high-demand residential enclave, with recent listings including 2-kanal homes priced at several crore rupees and 4-marla houses advertised for sale. A YouTube video posted in June 2025 showcases current conditions on Zarrar Shaheed Road, confirming ongoing market activity and property visibility.
The Lahore District Administration, under Deputy Commissioner Syed Musa Raza, is actively improving municipal services across cantonment areas. Inspections of key roads—including Tariq Shaheed Road, which borders Old Officers Colony—were conducted in November 2025 as part of broader infrastructure renewal, drainage repair acceleration, and anti-waterlogging initiatives.
