THE Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) seems to be in a complete mess at least as far as water supply through tankers is concerned. On April 13, I placed my request for a water tanker (Ref. 1304210821). After waiting for it for three days, I lodged a complaint (CN: 042109462). I also tried to contact Sherpao Hydrant (Tel: 0213-2331104) for quite a few days, but there was no response. The notified telephone numbers of the Camp Office of the KWSB managing director (MD), according to the PTCL message, are not in use. Also, there is no response from the notified numbers of other officials at the KWSB head office!
