MULTAN:

The Water and Sanitation Authority (WASA) kept the sewerage system in Multan operational for 12 consecutive days during the recent severe flooding of River Chenab.

According to a statement, the efforts were led by Managing Director Khalid Raza Khan at the Suraj Miani Wastewater Treatment Plant when floodwaters advanced on September 2, triggering a sewerage emergency.

Despite the closure of outfall points, the plant stored water continuously, ensuring smooth drainage and preventing sewage overflow.

The MD praised the engineers and staff who had protected the 184-acre plant, closely monitored the 11-kilometre sludge carrier.
