HYDERABAD:


Sindh caretaker chief minister Justice (retd) Zahid Kurban Alavi has ordered the authorities to get the Combined Effluent Treatment Plant in SITE, Kotri, functioning by May 28 as the toxic water from the industries is contaminating the water supplied to Karachi.


The 2.5 million gallon  per day (MGD) plant, built at a cost of over Rs800 million, was to start functioning by the end of 2011 but the contractor came up with one excuse after the other for not meeting the deadline.

Jamshoro deputy commissioner Sajid Jamal Abro briefed the CM about the obstacles in completion of the project, including non-provision of electricity by the Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (Hesco).
