Karachi Water & Sewerage Board (KW&SB) Managing Director Misbahuuddin Farid has stepped down.
A KW&SB spokesman confirmed Farid’s resignation. Analysts said Farid bore the brunt for pulling the curtain on the water-tanker mafia and illegal hydrants rampant in Karachi. It is pertinent to mention that Farid made some startling disclosures on how the authorities concerned had been stonewalling his department’s efforts against the theft of water worth billions of rupees.
His revelations also dropped clues of a likely collusion between the power corridors and the water-tanker mafia, analysts said further.
