Large portion of Karachi to submerge into Sea: Judicial Commission Report

KARACHI: Startling revelations have been made regarding Karachi by the Judicial Commission.

Karachi's powerful land mafia has put a large part of the megapolis at the risk of being submerged, a member of the judicial commission formed to probe the province's failure to provide clean drinking water said on Thursday.

In December last year, the Supreme Court had ordered the formation of a commission comprising high court judges to conduct an in-depth probe into the authorities’ failure to provide clean drinking water, sanitation facilities and a healthy environment to the people of Sindh.

Members of the judicial commission on Thursday visited the city's Manghopir area. During the visit, it was revealed that the hills that have been preventing the Hub Dam water from entering the megapolis are being crushed by the land mafia.
