That is not a sinkhole
Lets say for the sake of argument it is...Didnt anyone do basic analysis
BEFORE building the road? You do know different materials can be used to build on such rocks...Mayra shak sahi nikla:
Lets have introduction to Pakistani geography 101
This is map of soil in Pakistan:
Punjab is mostly made of the following soil:
MOUNTAINS:Rock outcrop, some loamy very shallow
soilsVALLEYS : Mainly loamy soils
Laomy clayey mainly dense saline sodic soils
Rolling to hilly sandy soils
MOUNTAIND: Rocky out-crop with patchy soils
VALLEYS : Mainly loamy partly gravelly soils
Pakistan | Study Area
Most of Punjab is of Loam:
Loam soils generally contain more nutrients, moisture, and
humus than sandy soils,
have better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silty soils, and are easier to
till than clay soils. The different types of loam soils each have slightly different characteristics, with some
draining liquids more efficiently than others. For food production, a loam soil containing a small amount of organic material is considered ideal. The mineral in a loam soil ideally is about 40% sand, 40% silt and 20% clay by weight. The soil's texture, especially its ability to retain nutrients and
water are crucial
What does this mean...these soils are prone to flooding hence a civil engineer would know how to make a road on such soils....However due to the clay component they are not that bad...but it just means you need good material to build the road or else expect a blackhole everynow and then
as for limestone joke:
Now lets see which areas have limestone:
Mubarak ho there is only 2 areas of Punjab that have limestone until and unles that picture was from either of those 2...I suggest you hit Shabaz Shariff and his civil engineer with a brick!
Normal people like you and many others on PDF are more knowledgeable than the officials and decision makers we have.
That is why I say PHD degree holders should be in the NA and Senate for a limited term, if educated people come they will make sure people under him are wisely and appropriately chosen. They will know they will have 5 years to prove they are capable and win elections again for a final tenure of 5 years.
But let me add one more thing, even if they come they will require some 2-4 years at least to just analyze and study the mess and the havoc these “educated”
jahil politicians have created since decades and will leave for them.
Musharraf set the requirement of BA for a reason, if the policy makers after him really cared for the nation they would not have violated and overturned the decision but instead they should have enhanced the education system to deliver the best results and provide free education till BA, and later increase the requirement to PHD. But give me one good reason why should they?
They claim because of this a majority of people will not be able to get their constitutional right of standing in elections. I ask them what did the policy makers do to make sure that the education quality and literacy rate will jump by leaps and bounds in say 10-15 years?
Just to let you know we are in top countries having the largest number of non-school going children
just behind an African country. 15 years from now what will be their future and in turn what will be the effect on the growth of the
national economy and security? it is a ticking time bomb and when the consequences will show up it will be too late to do anything.
Will the current lot politicians at that time work and sweat to fix the issue in an another 5 year term and make the country 70% literate?
Read the below blast from the past.

Pakistan MPs in fake degree scandal
Up to 10 per cent of legislators could have positions challenged after inquiry.
Scores of Pakistani politicians could lose their seats in parliament after authorities opened an inquiry into claims 10 per cent of federal and provincial legislators had lied about their qualifications.
Up to 160 elected officials have been accused of faking their degrees in order to meet a requirement for holding office.
The supreme court has ordered the elections commission to vet the credentials of most of Pakistan's 1,100 federal and provincial politicians.
"The Higher Education Commission [HEC] is verifying the degrees of all parliamentarians in line with the orders of the supreme court," an official of the Election Commission told the Reuters news agency.
The controversy has its roots in a 2002 law, imposed by general Pervez Musharraf, a former president, that required candidates for office to hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent.
Musharraf said he imposed the law to improve the calibre of MPs, but critics alleged the move was designed to sideline certain opponents.
Pakistan's supreme court struck down the degree requirement in April 2008, but not before Musharraf allowed elections to proceed in February of that year.
Angry reaction
Some politicans reacted angrily to the news that their credentials were to be investigated.
"A degree is a degree! Whether fake or genuine, it's a degree! It makes no difference!" Nawab Aslam Raisani, the chief minister from Baluchistan province who claims to have a master's degree in political science, shouted at reporters.
But the chairman of the National Assembly's education committee said that if elections are needed to sort out the reprecussions from the scandal in could, in fact, strengthen parliament.
"This is a process which will make us a great nation," Abid Sher Ali, who holds a master's degree in business and finance, said.
"Nations have to sacrifice some individuals in the process of becoming great, so we should not be scared of the situation we're facing now."
Many of the potentially fake degrees seem to have been claimed from Islamic seminaries, whose degrees are considered equivalent to a bachelor's in Pakistan.
Earlier this year,
Jamshed Dasti, a member of the National Assembly, resigned after being unable to prove that he held a master's degrees in Islamic studies.
Media reports at the time said that he could not even name the first two chapters of the Quran.
Dasti then ran in a special election for the office he had just vacated, and won.
Asif Ali Zardari, the Pakistani president, has also faced questions about his qualifications.
He claims to hold a bachelor's degree from a business school in London but his party has been unable to produce a certificate or establish what he studied.
Zardari, however, will probably escape the scandal because he was elected after the degree requirement was struck down by the supreme court.
Critics said that the law was undemocratic because only 50 per cent of adults in the country of 180 million people are literate.
Traditionally, feudal ties or business success have more appeal in Pakistani politics than academic achievement.
