KARACHI: Gulshan-e-Iqbal and Gulberg towns are best served and Gadap and Bin Qasim towns are worst served in terms of water and sanitation services.
These are the findings of the Citizen Report Card on the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board that surveyed 4,500 households of nine towns under the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Program South Asia. The data was analyzed by the Public Affairs Foundation of India.
At the launch of the report card at a local hotel on Thursday, KWSB Managing Director Suleman Chandio conceded the findings and said that a CRC Cell would be set up to make it a routine exercise. “I would like to give preference to low-income settlements and katchi abadis for new water and sanitation lines,” he said. “I would like the Asian Development Bank’s Mega City Project to give special attention to these areas.”
