The ground floor was excavated 42 feet to create two floors. It was only two floors underground that the dispute over the federal and provincial government control of the hospital arose.

Thus the funds were stopped and the contractor stopped working. This year, rains flooded the underground portion of the project. Pumps were pumped to drain and water started pouring into Rafi Shaheed Road.ahmed news world ahmed

A contractor who sells water across the city by stealing a water board across Karachi has arrived here to become a godsend serviceman and voluntarily started dewatering the project at no cost.

As part of the planned project, the contractor installed heavy machinery in the basement of the underground project and started the process of pumping water into tankers as shown. They also put de-watering system in some pipe drains.

According to sources, under cover of drainage, allegedly broke the 33-inch diameter line of waterboard that supplies water to Clifton and started a secret water theft.

Monitoring was made at this location for a short while, in 5 minutes a tanker of 3,000 gallons is filled with water.

According to waterboard sources, more than 300 water tankers are shipped in 24 hours from this secret and illegal hydrant. Most water supply tankers are being supplied to bungalows and business centers in Clifton, Defense, Boat Basin, Bath Island, President and other areas, if pursued.

When the supervisor of the supervisor supervising the water filling work in the tankers is inspected, the filling of 3,000 liters per tanker is Rs 2,000, double tanker 16 hundred and single tanker filling Rs.

To avoid the raids of an organization, the group has started work at 3:00 pm after the end of office hours for water theft and continue all night and allocate the hours at 7am.news world ahmed

They arrived on the spot and inspected themselves. SHO and them were shown evidence of water theft. When the SHO was shown the toxic and smelly water in the base of the project and the water sample was taken from the tanker, the SHO showed it by itself.
