KARACHI: The Supreme Court (SC) rejected on Thursday appeals filed by operators of private water hydrants established without a legal cover in Karachi. “Illegal water hydrants will not be tolerated in the city,” observed the CJP while hearing a suo motu case regarding operations of illegal and unauthorised water hydrants in the city. The CJP directed Zaidi to furnish his personal affidavit, swearing on oath that no illegal hydrant will be allowed to run in the metropolis. The KWSB MD maintained that illegal hydrants were set up in the city but the board initiated action whenever operation of any illegal hydrant came to its knowledge. “It is your duty to stop the illegal hydrants,” the Chief Justice observed.
