KARACHI (Dunya News) – Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) has continued its action against the illegal hydrants in Karachi on third day (Wednesday), Dunya News reported.

According to details, at least two people were taken into custody while demolishing illicit hydrants.

KWSB along with the police and Rangers carried out a campaign against unlawful water hydrants in Landhi and Baldia Town and destroyed more than 50 illegal hydrants in two days.

Earlier, KWSB continued operation against illegal hydrants in different areas of the metropolis including Landhi, Korangi, Surjani and Baldia Town, Dunya News reported on Monday.

A heavy contingent of Rangers personnel is escorting Water Board team during the campaign.
