This should have been started from day one - I don't understand why it has not started - just think about the people who are suffering from this menace. 1. What about water supplied to Bahriya town in karachi? 2. How the water is supplied to Bahriya town - meaning is there any dedicated line installed for them to have access to water for their construction? 3. Is the water supplied to Bahriya town meant for Karachi? 4. If water was meant for karachi city - what has been done so far in order to stop diverting this water to Bahriya town? Can someone pick up the question and answer from govt? Thanks!

Its very important for citizens of Karachi to destroy water mafia; but with the parallel need rectification on residential and home sewerage water pipe lines which are not working. When you will start crackdown on them for recovering water shortage everybody will be need water on their government water connections.
