The committee set up on the direction of Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab to ascertain reasons for the sinkhole developed near GPO Chowk at The Mall presented its fact-finding report.
The report was submitted at a meeting presided over by Caretaker Punjab Transport Minister Mian Noaman Kabir at Civil Secretariat on Thursday. In the report, a PTCL duct and non-construction of retaining wall were cited as main reasons of the sinkhole.
Addressing the meeting, Mian Noaman Kabir said the committee only presented fact-finding report. Those responsible for the incident should also be identified so that stern action could be taken against them under the law.
Chief Secretary Punjab Akbar Durrani ordered the committee to also find those who committed negligence and submit a report within three days. He directed that the survey of 1.7 kilometre underground track of Orange Line Train be conducted as early as possible so that such unfortunate incident could be avoided in future.
