Waste of resources: KMC bans unauthorised road digging

KARACHI: KMC administrator Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui has directed to register an FIR against any organisation, including the Karachi Water and Sewage Board (KWSB), for cutting the road without getting prior approval from the concerned authority. From now on, the construction of roads, without carrying out the repair of water and sewage pipelines, will not be allowed. The administrator said that the construction of roads without changing or repairing water and sewage lines was a waste of resources as such roads broke very soon. Taking strict notice of the digging of Tariq Road by the KWSB, he instructed the KMC to register an FIR against the organisation immediately.
