RAWALPINDI: The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) in Rawalpindi has failed to repair a tube-well located in UC-31, which was out of order for more than creating a scarcity of water for the residents of adjoining areas.
According to details, the dysfunctional tube-well caused water shortage for residents of the Union Council 31 and its adjoining areas as it was the only source of water in the area.
In this regard, the residents of the Union Council 31 have staged a protest and demanded a substitute arrangement for water supply or they would hold a protest against WASA.
The protestors said, “We have to fetch water from far-flung areas just to meet our daily needs. We cannot afford a water tanker as it costs Rs1,200 which is not affordable for them.”
They informed that they lodged repeated complaints with WASA but no action has been taken so far. The protesters alleged that some officials of WASA are providing illegal connections to the public.
