KARACHI, Nov 26: Work to lay sewerage line in the Korangi Industrial Area would be completed in one year and after its commissioning the sewerage problem in the industrial area would be resolved for the next 25 years.
This was stated by the chief engineer of Karachi Water and Sewerage Board in a briefing given to newly-appointed additional vice-chairmen Imamuddin Shehzad and Tayyab Hashmi on Sunday.
They were informed that the Korangi Industrial Area contributed millions of rupees in the national exchequer daily in the head of different taxes but despite this their sewerage-related problems could not be solved for years. However, City Nazim Mustafa Kamal realised the issue and initiated this project on priority. They were informed that with the replacement of two-decade-old line, the sewerage-related problem of Korangi Industrial Area would be resolved for the next 25 years.
Later, the two additional vice-chairmen inspected the ongoing development work of laying the pipeline on Korangi Road, which was being carried out by the KWSB with an estimated cost of Rs380 million.
