Gutter overflow

Published September 21, 2012

THE sewerage line near Street no. 20 of Sharfabad, Karachi, has been overflowing for many months, with the result that the whole street is flooded with the dirty water causing bad smell all around.

It is just impossible for residents and other people to move on the street. But nothing has been done to remedy the situation.

I fervently hope that the KWSB chief will take notice and do the needful.
