I would like to draw
attention of concerned authorities and Government on the Water scarcity in
Karachi.
Different areas of Karachi have been facing acute shortage of water since months
now. Karachi have been left at the mercy of the tankers charging Rs 3,000-8,000
per tanker. The rates of water tankers vary from one locality to the other.
Residents of various water-starved localities in Karachi who are convinced that
the government shall do nothing to provide clean and safe water have started
boring wells. Since water like air is crucial for existence people are left with
no option but to buy water and that too at exorbitant prices.
It is about time that the government paid attention to the looming water crisis
and ensure smooth supply of clean and safe potable water to residents of the
city because it is not possible for everyone to afford water tankers or bore
wells.
