A tragic road accident occurred on June 19, 2026, in the densely populated Bilal Ganj spare-parts market (locally known as 'Chor Bazar') in Lahore, where a speeding vehicle struck and killed a seven-year-old girl, injuring several others. Authorities have launched an investigation and issued public appeals urging strict adherence to speed limits and heightened caution in this congested commercial zone.
