The sewage system in the Madras Chowk area of Scheme 33, Karachi, has failed. For three days, a busy highway section has been submerged under foul-smelling water, causing significant distress to residents and disrupting traffic. Citizens are urgently calling for the sanitation and repair of the sewage infrastructure.
Details indicate that the sewage lines at Scheme 33 Madras Chowk are blocked, causing manholes to overflow. The stretch from Sachal Goth to the Superhighway is awash in stinking water, making the air unbreathable due to the intense odour. The area’s sewage system has collapsed, with mud and sludge accumulating and potholes damaging vehicles.
These potholes, concealed by the water, are causing traffic bottlenecks, significantly affecting emergency services. These delays particularly impact ambulance patients. Evening rush hour sees severe traffic congestion, and locals have voiced frustrations about the neglect from responsible authorities.
