I wish to highlight the severe water shortage in Karachi, which con­tinues to affect millions of residents, particularly in areas like Gulshan-e-Iqbal, North Karachi, and Korangi.

The unreliable water supply forces citizens to depend on cost­ly private tankers, many of which distribute unfiltered and unsafe water. Mismanagement, inequita­ble distribution, and reported wa­ter theft have worsened the crisis.

The Karachi Water & Sewerage Corporation and local authorities must ensure clean water access for all citizens, without discrimination. Investment in infrastructure, strict action against illegal hydrants, and transparent governance are ur­gently needed. Access to clean wa­ter is a basic human right, not a privilege. I hope this letter prompts immediate and meaningful action.

KHADIJA IFTIKHAR,

Karachi.
