Korangi has enormous problems with water and sewage, corruption is rampant in the water board and KMC. He said that the tanker mafia is active in Korangi industrial area, water is not available through lines but tankers have to be bought at expensive prices.

Zubair Chhaya, Deputy Patron-in-Chief KATI, said that the work of Jam Sadiq bridge should be speeded up. Jam Sadiq Bridge and Korangi Causeway are the only means of transportation from Korangi Industrial Area, people face difficulties in case of rains and traffic jams.
