KARACHI: Work on Korangi Road slowed down



By A Reporter


KARACHI, Nov 27: Industrial waste and sewage is overflowing along Korangi Industrial Road is a health hazard for area inhabitants and factory workers. The dug-up portion of the road has become a nightmare for motorists who use this thoroughfare.

When this correspondent asked labourers working on the project as to why it was still incomplete they replied non-payment of bills has forced their contractor to slow the pace of work on the sewerage line being laid along the main Korangi Industrial Road.

The contractor’s men told this scribe that the work might take another year to complete if the issue of payment was not resolved.

“We had been asked to continue the work round-the-clock, but the delay in payments of the bills created the problems,” said a worker.

Factory workers are hoping for early completion of construction work, saying that they had to disembark from buses at a greater distance to walk on the other track which had not been dug up.
