Preventing theft: Hidden cameras to be fitted on water hydrants

Hidden cameras to record water tankers’ number plates and the date and time of their arrival and departure

KARACHI: All government-run water hydrants are to be fitted with hidden cameras and have their water distribution records computerised, said the Managing Director of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) Misbahuddin Farid.

The hidden cameras will record water tankers’ number plates and the date and time of their arrival and departure. These measures are being implemented in order to meet the increasing demand and to improve KWSB’s revenue.

He said that all government hydrants would only operate for eight hours.
