Hyderabad: The authorities concerned have asked several industrialists of the Sindh Industrial Trading Estate (SITE) to clear their water arrears, a news source reported. Hyderabad SITE Association of Trade & Industry Chairman Mazhar-ul-Haq Chaudhry urged these individuals to clear their dues in order to prevent the suspension of their water connections in the SITE area.

He noted that industrialists owning more than one unit were not paying their water bills on time. He added that this situation led to the irrigation department suspending water supplies in Hyderabad SITE. This, in turn, he revealed, was causing inconvenience for the industrialists operating small units.
