KARACHI - Unidentified thieves on Tuesday night stole the second highest fountain in the world from the Karachi Beach. The said fountain was inaugurated by former President Pervez Musharraf at the Karachi Port Trust on 15th January 2006 and KPT spent millions of rupees on its construction.
The fountain was scheduled to be switch on September 1 but concerned authorities failed to do so due to some technical reasons. On Tuesday night, unknown thieves managed to take away various expensive items including lighting, cables and mini generators from the site.

I reckon the fountain has been quiet due to power-shortage in Karachi.. in fact in the whole country!
