He said this during a hearing on the provision of clean water to the citizens at the apex court’s Karachi Registry on Monday, Express News reported. Expressing concern over government’s inadequate response, the CJP summoned Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday, and former Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal on Tuesday. In his remarks, Nisar reiterated that providing clean water and a healthy environment was the responsibility of the government. Similarly, 90% of the city’s residents do not have access to clean water, and all four water treatment plants have been malfunctioned.
