Islamabad Property: The residents of twin cities are facing an acute water shortage due to apathy and negligence of the authorities concerned.
The residents of the most populated residential sectors in Islamabad Property, including G6, G7, G8, G9 and G10 are among the worst hit areas.
In these sectors, water is being supplied for only half an hour, which is insufficient to meet the requirements of the residents.
Talking to APP, Ashfaq Ahmed and Salman Tahir, residents of Sector G6, said that they had lodged several complaints to the relevant offices, requesting for water tankers to meet the daily needs, but the water inquiry does not respond.
Another senior citizen, Abdul Rehman, said that at times, residents did not have enough water even for ablution. The residents hoped that the new government would take measures to overcome the water shortage and facilitate the people with sufficient water.
An official of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) said frequent power outages were the main hurdle in the smooth supply of water to the residents of the capital.
He said that the CDA would resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Over in Rawalpindi, suspension of water supply since long has triggered outrage and anguish among the residents of Chaklala Village.
The only tube well of the area reportedly went out of order three weeks ago. Residents say they were not at the mercy of water tanker owners who have unleashed loot and plunder by exploiting the situation.
The area has approximately 1,000 families, and the streets are too narrow for water tankers to pass.
The residents said that the tube well had been dysfunctional since the last 22 days, and they were befooled in the name of repair work every day they approach the authorities concerned.
Pipes are reportedly fitted and dislodged every day, but the tube well remains dysfunctional.
Meanwhile, the water filtration plant of Dhoke Lalial is also not functioning for the past two weeks, but the authorities concerned are paying no heed to repairing the plant.
The residents have demanded the Public Health Engineering Department to arrange for removal of the fault in the tube well to ensure supply of water to them. agencies
