The chief executive officer (CEO) of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC), Engineer Syed Salahuddin Ahmed, and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Engineer Asadullah Khan visited the site of an 84-inch-diameter water pipeline repair on University Road on Wednesday.

Accompanied by Chief Engineer Water Trunk Main (WTM) Zafar Palijo and other officials, the KWSC leadership inspected the ongoing repair work. The officials commended the WTM team for their round-the-clock efforts to fix the water main.
