KARACHI: Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) denied any suspension of hydrant service, clarifying there is no water crisis in the city.

Focal person for Hydrants Cell, Shahbaz Bashir, called such news baseless, saying all the hydrants of KWSB are still active and supplying water to citizens. However, he did mention that water tanker owners and staff are a bit frightened because their tankers were being targeted during recent protests against traffic accidents involving heavy transport.

As a result, the number of tankers supplying water has decreased, but the hydrant service itself is still up and running, Bashir said, despite some difficulties due to the protests.
