Prolonged power outage exacerbates water ‘crisis': KWSC
KARACHI: Karachi is facing a severe water shortage as prolonged power outages have crippled key water supply infrastructure. A spokesperson for the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) confirmed that an outage that began at 10 pm on June 26 at the Dhabeji pumping station has persisted for over 60 hours. The fault has yet to be resolved, resulting in a shortfall of 220 million gallons of water to the city during this period. The power failure has had a cascading effect on various KWSC installations, including the North East Karachi Old Pump House. The shutdown of this facility, located downstream of Dhabeji, will impact water supply to parts of Scheme 33. Additionally, two pumps at the K-III pump house are currently inactive due to the ongoing power disruption, further exacerbating the water crisis.

Rs 26 lakhs awarded to employee for not working a single day for four months. Here's what happened
A man in Abu Dhabi has been awarded AED 110,400 (approximately Rs 26 lakh) in unpaid wages, despite never having started work at the company that hired him. The decision came after a court ruled in the employee's favour, highlighting that the delay in his joining was entirely the employer's fault. Employee Signed Contract But Never Got to Work As per a report by Khaleej Times, the employee, whose identity has not been disclosed, signed a fixed-term employment contract with an Abu Dhabi-based company. The agreement promised a basic monthly salary of AED 7,200, with a total compensation package of AED 24,000. The contract covered the period from November 11, 2024, to April 7, 2025. However, despite this agreement, the individual was never actually permitted to begin work. Frustrated by repeated delays and the absence of any opportunity to start his job, the man eventually filed a lawsuit seeking his withheld salary for the contract period. The court accepted his claim and ordered the company to compensate him for four months and 18 days of unpaid wages, after deducting eight days he admitted to being on leave. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60 m² Prefab Bungalow for Seniors in Tanza Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Court Places Responsibility on Employer The Abu Dhabi Labour Court held the employer accountable for the delay in onboarding. Citing Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021, the court underlined that employers are legally required to pay wages on time, following standards set by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. It also referred to Article 912 of the Civil Transactions Law, which states that a worker's right to wages cannot be denied unless the employee has formally waived that right or acknowledged non-entitlement. The court examined various documents including the wage report, employment contract, and case file, and found that the fault clearly lay with the company. The evidence confirmed that the delay was not caused by the employee, as the employer had failed to provide any proof of misconduct or absenteeism. Employer's Argument Rejected by Court In response to the lawsuit, the company argued that the employee had taken leave and never reported to duty. However, the court found no records or documentation to support this claim. No formal investigation had been conducted into the employee's alleged absence. Consequently, the court dismissed the company's justification and concluded that the employee's failure to start work was directly linked to the employer's own inaction.

UAE Man Who Never Worked A Day Wins Rs 26 Lakh In Salary Dispute
An Abu Dhabi company has been ordered to pay AED 110,400 (approximately Rs 26 lakh) as "unpaid wages" to an employee who, despite receiving an offer letter, was never allowed to start working. The employee, whose name was not disclosed, filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming that his salary for the period from November 11, 2024, to April 7, 2025, was illegally withheld. According to a report in The Khaleej Times, the employee had signed a fixed-term contract with the company, which stipulated a basic salary of AED 7,200 and a total monthly compensation package of AED 24,000. Despite the signed contract, the employee was never given the opportunity to commence his employment. The court's decision underscores the importance of upholding employment agreements, even when work hasn't begun. The court stated that "it was clear from the wage report, the employment contract, and the supporting documents submitted through the case management system that the delay in starting work was due to the employer," according to local newspaper Emarat Al Youm. The Abu Dhabi Labour Court emphasised that under Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021 regulating labour relations, employers are obligated to pay wages on time according to the systems approved by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. Citing Article 912 of the Civil Transactions Law, the court ruled that wages are a worker's right and cannot be withheld without proof, such as a written waiver or legal acknowledgement. The employer had argued the employee wasn't entitled to his salary because he "did not report to duty and went on leave." But the court found no evidence of a formal investigation into any absence, determining that the delay in employment was the company's fault. The employee admitted taking eight days off, which were deducted from the total, resulting in a payment for four months and 18 days.
