The residents of Karachi on Friday (local time) continued to face water shortages due to frequent K-Electric (KE) power outages, which have disrupted the city’s water pumping operations, DAWN News reported.

As per DAWN News, a spokesperson of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) said that the city’s crucial K-3 pumping station suffered a major electrical breakdown on Thursday night. This occurred just a day after electricity had been restored following a 41-hour power cut.

Soon after the restoration, the fault in the electricity wiring resurfaced, forcing the pumping station to shut down once again. The station had also been temporarily closed on Monday, but the underlying issues remained unresolved, worsening the water crisis for residents dependent on the facility.
