The district administration of Lahore issued guidelines for the safe celebration of the Basant kite-flying festival in February 2026. Residential areas along the airport's flight path, including Tajpura, were explicitly banned from kite-flying during the festival days from February 6-8.

Separately, a local resident lodged a formal complaint on the Deputy Commissioner Lahore's social media page about an illegal Sunday bazaar operating within the Tajpura Scheme, citing it as a public nuisance.
A crime report emerged of a robbery in Tajpura where a citizen was deprived of cash and his motorcycle. The incident was covered by local news outlets, highlighting street crime concerns in the area.
Heavy monsoon rains in mid-2025 severely affected Lahore, with Tajpura recording the highest precipitation in the city at 115mm at the SDO Office. This led to significant waterlogging and urban flooding in the area, turning streets into waterlogged zones and causing traffic chaos. In a related tragic incident during the same heavy rains, a man died and three others were injured when the roof of a house collapsed in Lahore. While the exact location of the fatal collapse was not specified in the source, it was part of the widespread monsoon havoc that prominently included Tajpura.
