This shocking news comes weeks after Karachi remained inundated during torrential rains in the city which claimed many lives. During Eid-ul-Adha, Karachi sewers overflowed due to rain and animal waste.

Interestingly, Water board claims to have physical verification proofs of these employees which is leading them to retain them for jobs and they are not employing anyone else in their place. In the end, Karachiites are bearing the brunt of this incompetency and corruption.
