Pakistan: Supply of clean drinking water suspended in several sectors

The residents of several sectors of the capital stand deprived of the facility of clean drinking water during the holy month of Ramazan as the filtration plants are out-of-order. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has not bothered to change the filters of several filtration plants in some sectors and this negligence on the part of civic body has rendered the filtration plants out-of-work. This way, the water supply has been suspended to the citizens. In certain sectors, including F6, G7, and G6, the old defective filters have not been replaced and the maintenance work on these plants has not been executed since the last several years therefore, they are now in shambles and are on the way to deterioration. The citizens of the capital have demanded of the CDA chairman to take notice of the situation and institute immediate measures for providing filters for the dysfunctional filtration plants.
