Karachi's vital Dhabeji pumping station faced a significant challenge on Monday as a power outage disrupted its operations, causing concerns about water supply in the city, according to ARY News.

Simultaneously, the chief engineer of Bulkwater Corporation confirmed that a comprehensive effort was underway to restore the impacted water line.
