Chairman, All Pakistan Textile Processing Mills Association (APTPMA), Arif Lakhani, has expressed concern over 82 percent increase in water tariff and persisting water shortage in Site industrial area. He lashes out at Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) for its non-serious attitude in resolving the water shortage issue faced by industrial areas particularly the textile processing industry, which consume bulk water.
He claimed that over 50 percent textile processing units in Site industrial area were closed owing to water scarcity and several other were at the verge of closure.
He pointed out the allocated water for Site industrial area is 8 MGD, but it is getting only 0.545 MGD, which is insufficient to run industrial units. He urged the Managing Director KWSB to take personal interest and direct concerned officers to take appropriate measure ensure supply of sufficient water so that the textile processing units could be run at full capacity.
