Is the suspension system of Changan Kalam capable of handling repeated heavy loads on rough Pakistani roads?

Users report broken leaf springs o r worn shock absorbers within a few months. Does the suspension design not match local commercial demands?

No — not reliably.
Frequent reports include:

Broken o r cracked leaf springs

Worn-out shocks

Metal fatigue in rear axle mounts

The current suspension setup is not engineered for repeated, high-load impacts on poorly paved o r off-road routes in areas like rural Punjab, Sindh, o r Balochistan.

The materials and design seem more suited to urban delivery use, not heavy rural transport.
