LAHORE: The Expo Centre in Lahore, built at a cost of tens of millions of rupees, is facing criticism after the roof of one of its halls began leaking during recent rains.
The leakage led to substantial water accumulation inside the hall, causing significant damage to the stalls below. This incident has sparked concerns about the quality of construction and the management of the facility. Vendors who had set up stalls in the affected hall reported heavy losses, as their displays and products were soaked by the rainwater.
The damage has not only disrupted ongoing events but also left stall owners frustrated and seeking answers. Authorities have yet to release an official statement on the cause of the leakage or the measures being taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The Expo Centre, a major venue for events and exhibitions in Lahore, was expected to be a state-of-the-art facility, making this situation particularly concerning.
