KARACHI/THATTA: Reaffirming the provincial government’s commitment to address the pressing issue of water supply to Karachi, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Tuesday said that the city’s water crisis would be significantly alleviated after the completion of the Hub Canal and KB Feeder projects.
He said that the city’s water supply system was being enhanced under a $1.6 billion programme supported by the World Bank which included operational upgrades and expansions under Phase 2 to enhance efficiency.
The chief minister, who visited the two projects’ sites in Thatta and Hub, said the new Hub Canal Project would be completed by Dec 2025, while the KB Feeder Project was progressing swiftly with a 40 per cent completion expected by the end of the year.
He said that KB Feeder lining would conserve 510 cusecs of water to meet the growing need of Karachi.
