**A massive network of water theft was uncovered as a result of two significant joint operations conducted with the Water Board Corporation and Pakistan Rangers(Sindh).

These operations were carried out from October 21 to November 9 which benefited greatly the people of Karachi.

Twenty-two of the Rangers’ most important operations were directed at illegal water hydrants. Of these, forty-eight were demolished, and three were sealed to stop more illegal activity.

The accused parties engaged in these operations were apprehended right away and turned over to the police to face additional legal proceedings.
