Residents of Mushtaq Colony, Shah Jahan Park Pakistan Mint held a protest demonstration against Water and Sanitation Authority for depriving them of their share of drinking water and supplying it to a private housing society instead for bribery. They claimed that the tube well was installed for their colony but instead it was supplying water to the private housing society that was bribing the WASA staff to ensure its water supply, which is short due to power outages. “We have visited the SDO but to no avail. Every day we are told that an action would be taken but nothing is done,” said Nasir Akram, a resident of the locality, adding “I have to walk a long distance every day in the heat to get water for my family and so does every one in the locality. We are being treated unfairly.” They requested Chief Minster Shahbaz Sharif to take notice of WASA’s incompetence.
