Various areas under Karwan constituency like Hakeempet, Jinsi Chowraha, Hakeempet Kunta, Jiyaguda slaughterhouse, Huda Park, Shatam tank, Nadeem Colony, and Qazi Gally are receiving contaminated water from the past few months.

The water board is supplying water for 3-4 hours every alternate day, but the water is fully contaminated. Water can’t even be used for external purposes. Samad said.”
