Power Failure at Karachi's Dhabeji Pumping Station Disrupts Water Supply
A power failure at Karachi's Dhabeji pumping station on Sunday disrupted water supply by shutting down 10 of 21 pumps due to a cable fault in K-Electric's network, caused by a nearby brushland fire. The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation warned of partial water distribution disruptions and urged residents to limit consumption until power is restored. This incident adds to recent outages affecting the city's water infrastructure, highlighting ongoing challenges in maintaining continuous supply.
