Fear Among Drivers After Water Tanker Set Ablaze in Karachi; Owners Halt Services

Following the burning of a water tanker and dumper in Karachi, tanker owners have suspended water supply operations. The Water Corporation has warned that if such incidents are not stopped, ensuring a steady water supply will become increasingly difficult.

The incident occurred in North Karachi, where a water tanker and dumper were set on fire, disrupting the city’s water distribution system. The event has created a wave of fear and panic among tanker drivers and owners, prompting the suspension of several water tanker services.

According to Water Corporation officials, there has been a noticeable drop in the number of tankers operating under the corporation after the incident. As a result, water supply in various parts of the city has begun to be slightly affected. Officials caution that if the situation continues, future water delivery may face severe challenges.

Authorities have stated that if the targeting of water tankers is not stopped, residents could face a serious water crisis.

They have called on relevant agencies to provide security for the tankers to help restore operations.

Several tanker owners have temporarily withdrawn their vehicles from service, and in some areas, tankers have been parked to avoid further damage.

Water Corporation officials have urged the public to remain patient and assured that efforts are underway to restore normalcy. They emphasized that every effort will be made to ensure that the water supply is not completely disrupted.
