With the completion of the 84-inch pipeline repair, the Karachi water crisis has subsided.

Several parts of the city now have water again after the eleven-day repair project was finished.

“The water supply has been restored following the repair of the 84-inch main water line,” stated the Karachi Water & Sewerage Corporation official.

“The Dhabeji pumping station has restored the water supply, and lines are being charged,” he continued.

The construction of the Red Line Track caused the main water line to burst on November 28, cutting off the city’s water supply to large areas.

The pipeline’s sluggish repair caused a severe water scarcity that affected millions of people for days in a number of locations, including Gulshan e Iqbal, Karachi Admin Society, Jamshed Town, Liyari, and the old city.

Due to the shutdown of two significant hydrants in the city, water tanker services were still unavailable during the restoration operation, which made Karachi residents’ suffering worse.

A research claims that Karachi only receives roughly half of the water it needs. One-third of that is either squandered because of old and deteriorated pipelines that haven’t been fixed or replaced, or it is stolen by the supposed hydrant or tanker mafia.

In order to help people have their complaints heard, handled, and resolved, experts advised bringing together all the stakeholders to create well-coordinated policies and establishing and bolstering an authorized local government structure.
