Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab has launched a barcode-based identification system for registered water tankers to improve transparency and curb illegal tanker operations.
Each registered tanker has been assigned a unique barcode that allows citizens to verify details including the driver’s identity, route, fitness certificate and water source.
The mayor urged residents to scan the barcode before receiving water and report any unregistered or suspicious tankers to the authorities. He said the system would help eliminate the illegal water tanker mafia and strengthen regulation of the city’s water supply network.
