Nasir Gazdar | 2 years ago | Reply These societies DHA and KDA s Clifton societies are built on salt marshes estuaries creeks and lagoons without adequate drainage of sewage and storm waters. With rising temperatures the marshy waters expanded and salt encrustations in the pipes are like barnacle on a ships hull. The constructions is sub standards and comes an earthquake these will be having liquefaction of subsoil as well. Adios.
