HYDERABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Hyderabad President Imran Qureshi has expressed fear that the low-lying areas in the city would be partially submerged during the monsoon rains.
Talking to the media persons here on Monday, he said the district
administration, the local government authorities and Water and
Sanitation Agency (WASA) had failed to desilt the drainage network in
the city.
“The local authorities though have been making claims of removing
sludge from the drains and disposing off the solid waste but the
ground realities are different, ” he argued.
He alleged that despite availability of the required funds and staff
both the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (HMC) and Qasimabad Municipal
Committee (QMC) were not taking interest in preparing the city for the
torrential monsoon rains.
