Supply of contaminated water to the residents of Sharif Abad, Satellite town has caused epidemics in the area. Water being supplied to us for the last few weeks is extremely adulterated and unwholesome for health, said residents of the area. “We have protested and lodged complaints in umpteen time against supply of filthy water but the WASA is keeping a criminal mum over the issue, said Ali Ahmad, a teacher. We all including women, men and children are forced to drink adulterated water as no one from concerned department is paying heed to this problem, said Gulzar Ahmad , a resident. One or two members of every family are suffering from abdominal diseases due to use of this water and every day several persons are taken to hospital in critical condition, said Haji Ahmad, a lecturer.
