Karachi’s University Road Flooded After Pipeline Burst, Traffic Severely Disrupted
KARACHI: A major water pipeline burst and overflowing drain turned Karachi’s busy University Road into a river-like scene, causing severe traffic congestion and hardship for commuters.
According to details, water began accumulating on the road late last night, spilling into adjacent streets and creating heavy traffic pressure. The pipeline burst occurred near Urdu Science College, leading to gridlocks from Hassan Square to Nipa and affecting traffic flow in both directions.
The continuous water accumulation has also seeped into low-lying residential areas around University Road, leaving residents distressed. Despite the worsening situation, Water Board staff were reportedly absent from the site.
Authorities fear that the damaged pipeline may also trigger water shortages in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and surrounding neighborhoods.
