MD Wasa Zahid Khemtiyo informed the meeting that the main reason for the increase in these water supply and sewerage problems was electricity load shedding and non-payment of salaries to WASA employees for several months.

On which DG HDA assured payment of salaries to Wasa employees. He said that discussions were underway with Hesco regarding load shedding schedule and expressed hoped that load shedding schedule would be made soon through consultation so that water supply and drainage works could not be got affected.

Deputy Commissioner Hyderabad Fuad Ghaffar Soomro said that he himself visited the city and found that there was no close contact between HMC and Wasa officers which aggravated the problems.
