Water supply will be cut off in these areas

The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) has announced that it will start repairing its water main on University Road on Saturday.

According to a statement from the water utility, work to repair the leaks in the 48-inch main line will begin at 8 a.m. on June 22 and will be completed at 8 p.m. on June 23.

The KWSC said that due to the repair work, water supply from the university reservoir will be suspended in Central District, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Scheme 33 and some areas of Gulshan-e-Iqbal.

In this context, the KWSC called on citizens to save water and use it wisely.

On Thursday, there were protests in several districts against the lack of electricity and water supplies.

Protesters staged a sit-in in front of the Chowrangi Power Plant in North Karachi and the Gulzar-e-Hijri Project 33, blocked traffic and set tyres on fire. They also chanted slogans against the authorities concerned.
