KARACHI:

The patience of North Karachi residents ran out after a persistent water shortage on Sunday morning, as they stormed the Nagan Chowrangi pumping station in protest.

A large number of women were part of the demonstration, during which protesters exchanged harsh words with Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) staff. Some enraged residents allegedly attempted to manhandle the staff as tempers flared.

Protesters said that despite repeated assurances, the KWSC had failed to restore water supply to their homes for more than a month. Many women complained that purchasing water tankers had become unaffordable and unsustainable for households already under financial strain. Chanting “Pani do, pani do” (give us water), the crowd demanded immediate restoration of supplies.
