The project is estimated to be completed in 12 years. He expressed these views while addressing the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI).

President KATI said that the staff of the Water Board should ensure the supply of water to the industrial area on a priority basis. He said that KATI is ready to extend all possible cooperation to the Water Board for the improvement of the water and sewerage system in Korangi.

On the occasion, KITE CEO Zubair Chhaya said that KW&SB has left not only the Korangi industrial area but also the citizens of Karachi at the mercy of the tanker mafia. He said that water was not available in Karachi through lines but they could buy as much water as they wanted through tankers. He said that there were illegal hydrants in various places in the city which were stealing water from the lines and selling it to the people through tankers.

Zubair Chhaya further said that Water Board should take immediate steps to improve the sewerage system in Korangi Industrial Area. He said that development works are being carried out in Korangi under KITE but due to the flow of sewage water on the roads, the roads get damaged quickly.

Speaking on the occasion, Nighat Awan, Chairperson of KATI Standing Committee, said that the problems of KATI industrialists are brought to the notice of Water Board officials from time to time. She said that the service improvement project of the Water Board would be an important milestone in improving the existing water and sewerage infrastructure in Karachi. However, the authorities should ensure that the project is completed on time as per schedule.
