KARACHI, June 15: Acting City Nazim Nasreen Jalil has said that alternative sources are being explored to meet water shortage in Karachi.

She was talking to a delegation of an Indian company in her office on Thursday.

She said that the city government was taking every possible step to make the city clean and green. Efforts are being made to have a system under which sewage could be treated to retrieve clean water for use in parks and green belts.

Ramesh Chandra and other members of the delegation briefed Ms Jalil about the technology the company offers to treat sewerage water effectively. They told her that the technology was cost-effective and being used in many countries for the purpose.

The acting nazim asked the city government officials concerned to study various aspects of the technology.

On the occasion, she expressed the view that Pakistan and India should reopen visa offices in Karachi and Mumbai at the earliest to facilitate easy movement of their citizens across the border.—PPI
