The Punjab Central Business District Development Authority (PCBDDA), also known as Central Business District Punjab (CBD Punjab), has achieved a significant milestone in urban infrastructure development. The authority has successfully implemented a state-of-the-art drainage system on Walton Road and CBD Route 47, effectively addressing the long-standing issue of urban flooding and sewerage that had plagued the area for over three decades.
According to details, the newly implemented drainage system demonstrated its efficiency during the recent pre-monsoon spell, which recorded 58 millimeters of rainfall in Lahore. For the first time in over 30 years, there was no ponding or accumulation of rainwater on Walton Road, ensuring smooth traffic flow and uninterrupted mobility along the route.
The advanced drainage system, designed and executed by CBD Punjab, efficiently redirects rainwater into the CBC Lake, eliminating the risk of water stagnation and ensuring that surrounding communities remain unaffected. This initiative is part of CBD Punjab’s broader vision to modernize urban infrastructure and create resilient, smart, and sustainable cityscapes.
CEO CBD Punjab, Imran Amin, highlighted the authority’s commitment to developing sustainable urban infrastructure, stating, “Resolving the three-decade-old sewerage issue on Walton Road was a top priority for CBD Punjab. We are committed to developing sustainable urban infrastructure that not only meets today’s needs but also secures our future. The successful functioning of the new drainage system during the recent rains is a testament to our dedication, planning, and execution.”
This achievement underscores CBD Punjab’s growing role in transforming Lahore’s urban landscape through strategic infrastructure development and modern civic solutions. Residents, daily commuters, and businesses have expressed relief and appreciation for the initiative, with Walton Road now standing as a symbol of progress and urban resilience ¹.
