K-IV project completion pushed back to mid-2019

KARACHI: In an unsurprising yet disappointing announcement, members of the Sindh Assembly were told on Monday that the long-awaited K-IV water supply project that was to supply 260 million gallons of water per day from the Indus River will now be completed by mid-2019. The government had earlier claimed that it would be completed by June, 2018.

“It is a 120 kilometre-long route from where we are transporting the water to Karachi, so it’s not an easy job,” said Local Government Minister Jam Khan Shoro during the question and answer session. “We have finished around 40% of the work on this project and it will now be possible to complete the remaining work in the next three months,” he said, adding that the Sindh government has given the project’s contract to the Frontier Works Organisation but due to some unavoidable complications, the first completion target could not be met.

Speaking about the project, the minister said that three different filtration plants will be set up in Pipri, near Baqai Medical University on the Super Highway and in Manghopir. “The water will be filtered before it is supplied to citizens,” he said.
