Karachi continues to face severe water shortages, but many residents and observers question whether all of these disruptions are simply the result of aging infrastructure. Allegations have long circulated about a powerful water mafia that benefits from damaged supply lines, costly repair contracts, and the booming tanker business. Critics claim that repeated pipeline failures, delayed maintenance, and emergency repair projects create opportunities for corruption while ordinary citizens struggle to access clean water.
In this video, we examine the claims, the evidence, and the impact of Karachi's ongoing water crisis. How do broken pipelines affect millions of residents?
