KARACHI, April 17: Vice Chairman of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) MPA Mohammad Moin Khan has taken notice of the complaints of contaminated water from parts of North Karachi Town, and asked the official concerned to take immediate steps in this regard.

During a visit to pumping stations at Ajmer Nagri, Saba Cinema, 7/D and 5/C-4, he said it was responsibility of the KWSB to supply clean water to people, and asked the officials concerned to realise their responsibilities.

He, however, blamed load-shedding for the suspension of water supply or contamination of water.

He said the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation was duty-bound to ensure smooth power supply to KWSB pumping stations which, he said, should be exempted from load-shedding. He also inspected the ongoing work on the sewerage lines from the 7,000 Road to 5,000 Road.

He also asked the officials concerned to complete the work within next two days so that the residents of union councils 11, 12, and 13, North Karachi Town, did not face any sewerage problem in the future.
