\nKARACHI:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the claims by the Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab that areas like Landhi and Korangi are free from sewage problems, various areas in Korangi paint a different picture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the Union Council 25 Sector 74 of Korangi 6A, a considerable population grapples with sewage-related woes. Most areas have submerged with sewage due to the unorganised sewage system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Similarly, residents of Korangi No4, Gulshan Hali are contending with issues arising from the contamination of the water supply with industrial sewage.<\/p>\n

The area residents have voiced concerns over the deteriorating condition of the sewage system persisting for several months now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blocked lines have caused sewers to overflow, spreading an unbearable stench throughout the residential vicinity. The breeding of insects and mosquitoes in the sewage-infested areas has further escalated health risks, with instances of stomach and skin diseases on the rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moreover, the streets have become hazardous, with sewage sludge turning them into marshlands where accidents are a daily occurrence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The residents refute the mayor\u2019s assertion that issues in Korangi and Landhi have been addressed, demanding his personal assessment of the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Household water tanks are being filled with odorous black water instead of clean water, exacerbating the already dire situation.<\/p>\n

The citizens recount their ordeal during the month of Ramazan when water scarcity plagued the area, only to be replaced by sewage water flooding their homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An industrial drain flowing near Tanzim Flour Mill has previously caused leakage of water lines, introducing industrial waste into residential zones and triggering severe skin and gastrointestinal ailments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite lodging complaints with the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC), the agency has failed to rectify the issue.<\/p>\n

The area residents call for urgent intervention to address the aforementioned pressing sewage concerns, highlighting the immediate need for effective action to alleviate the suffering endured by the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
