RAWALPINDI: Clean drinking water has turned into an impossibility for the residents of Ward 5 and 10 located in Cantonment Board Chakala.
Dhok Jummah, Dhok Kalhur, Mubarak Lane, and
Defence Road are among the worst affected ones in the deepening water crunch crisis.
A native living in Mubarak Lane informed that there is no water coming from water pipelines for the last one week. Another resident living in Dhok Jummah said that since the advent of the summer season, the water supply has been severed to the area, while public representatives
are playing the role of glum spe
ctators.
The residents are left at the mercy of water tanker mafia, who are
overcharging the residents by selling them water at inflated rates.
The residents have appealed to station commander to take notice of the issue as the public representatives have always ignored these areas.
