Managing Director (MD) of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB), Asadullah Khan, said that the inauguration of the pump house will help meet the water demands of the country’s economic hub.

He is accompanied by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, Local Government Minister Nasir Shah, Advisor Law Murtaza Wahab and others.”

Notably, Karachi’s everyday water requirement is 1,200 MGD. However, it is supplied only 650 MGD, of which 220 MGD is either wasted due to leakages or stolen.
