KARACHI: Road caves in



By Our Staff Reporter


KARACHI, Oct 24: A wide-crater developed in the middle of the PIDC House section of Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road on Wednesday when a 72-inch diameter sewer caved in, causing overflowing of sewage all around.

The incident also led to a traffic mess at the PIDC intersection and the link roads, including those housing the Governor’s House and the CM’s House.

The major sewerage line sank 20 feet deep down and the KWSB’s zonal chief engineer, Najam-e-Alam Siddiqui, stated that the repair work would take at least two days to complete. During the repair work, he added, various localities of the old city areas like Kharadar, Mithadar, Haqqani Chowk, Pakistan Chowk, Ramswami, Ranchor Line, Saddar, Burnes Road etc would experience sewerage problems.
