KARACHI:

The city is facing the threat of a fresh water crisis as annual maintenance work at the Dhabeji pumping station has disrupted supplies to large parts of the city, potentially causing severe difficulties for residents.

The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) has advised residents to use water sparingly until supplies are fully restored. According to a KWSC spokesperson, annual maintenance work jointly involving the corporation and K-Electric has begun at the Dhabeji pumping station.
