University Road pipeline burst cause huge traffic jam

KARACHI: Even after several days, no solution is in sight for Karachi’s municipal mess, with gutters still overflowing at M.A Jinnah Road and other areas.

A recent burst of a 48-inch water pipeline has inundated Karachi University road, creating traffic chaos.

The issue of sewerage water and pipeline leakages has created considerable public inconvenience in affected areas, as Sindh government and MQM called the recent overflowing of gutters a ‘conspiracy’ against the city.
