The issue was formally raised by Ali Mansoor, President of the Arz-e-Watan Foundation, who brought the matter to the attention of Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab, the Chief Secretary Sindh, and officials of the Water and Sewerage Corporation, urging immediate action to clear sewage water from the mosque’s access roads and surrounding streets.
Taking prompt notice of the complaints, Executive Engineer (XEN) Nazimabad, Zafar Malik, on Monday ordered the immediate initiation of restoration work on the affected sewerage line.
Speaking on the occasion, Zafar Malik said that multiple complaints regarding sewerage overflow near Dar-ul-Islam Mosque were received through social media platforms, prompting urgent repair efforts. He explained that the affected 12-inch diameter sewerage line serves a large area of Orangi Abad and has been operational for more than 35 years, making it vulnerable to frequent breakdowns.
He added that while temporary restoration work is underway, authorities have decided to replace the aging sewerage line to ensure a permanent and long-term solution to the problem.
The restoration work is being directly supervised by the Executive Engineer of Nazimabad Town Sewerage, with both sewerage machines of the Water and Sewerage Corporation Nazimabad Town actively deployed at the site.
Zafar Malik noted that delays in timely restoration occurred due to the Christmas holidays, which affected the availability of technical staff. However, he expressed confidence that the sewerage line would be fully restored by the evening.
The Nazimabad Town Sewerage administration has apologized to residents and worshippers for the inconvenience caused and acknowledged the support of Mayor Karachi and the Chief Secretary Sindh in ensuring a swift response to the issue.
