Karachi: In Shahr Quaid, water is allegedly being stolen from Karachi Water and Sewerage Board’s Ashirbad and sold at high prices.
According to the details, it has been revealed that the alleged mafia who steals and sells water in Karachi continues to provide facilities to the Water Corporation, in exchange for which stolen water is being sold to the citizens at high prices.
Sources say that the water-stealing mafia in Kar Achi has strengthened its grip in the city and citizens are allegedly being robbed in the name of water.

No one else in the water corporation can stand up to the mafia. Sources say that contractors of government hydrants allegedly pay monthly bribes to senior officers of the Water Corporation and have become facilitators of the Water Corporation through other means.

The contractors pay and these salaries amount to lakhs of rupees per month.
Sources say that the private contractors of the government hydrants allegedly steal water from the private employees of the Water Corporation and sell it to the citizens by turning off the meters on the hydrants at night and GPS tracking several tankers. Instead, they are selling it under the name of commercial. Due to which citizens are forced to buy water at high prices.
Sources say that Circa rehydrants are allegedly under mafia control and city water is being sold at exorbitant prices for many years but there is no stopping them. In this regard, I called MD Water Corporation Salahuddin to get a statement, but he did not receive the call.
