Karachi: Driven by its vision to provide safe and clean water 24x7 to every citizen in city, Alkhidmat Karachi has installed hundreds of hand pumps and submersible pumps in city and its surroundings under its Clean Water project, according to Director Clean Water Alkhidmat Karachi Gohar ul Islam. He lamented fact that Karachi was not receiving its fair quota of water considering its population and to make things worse, citizens were getting unclean and contaminated water which was source of water-borne diseases and bad health.

He added that Alkhidmat wanted to further strengthen its Clean Water project in city by identifying places where there was severe scarcity of water and digging bore wells and installing appropriate pumps to resolve situation.

Giving an estimate of expenses, he disclosed that each hand pump installation requires Rs 150,000, while that of submersible pump calls for budget of Rs 180,000 to 260,000 on average. Acknowledging hard work put in by Clean Water team and resolving to continue good work, Gohar ul Islam appealed to those with means to come forward and help Alkhidmat in its efforts to ensure that no one went thirsty in Karachi.
