KARACHI: The collapse of the water supply along with gas and electricity outages turned the three-day festivities of Eidul Azha into a hardship for millions of citizens of Karachi, who struggled to cook, bathe, and endure the scorching weather.
Across large parts of Karachi, taps remained dry, gas pressure collapsed, and power failed, leaving families distressed and furious at the three utilities due to their failure to ensure supply during the three-day festival when it was needed most.
The most crippling blow came from the gas and power utilities, which continued to play “hide and seek” all day, despite their claims of “uninterrupted supply”.
The gas company claimed uninterrupted supply during Eid, but residents in several areas reported no gas or extremely low pressure.
