The Water and Sanitation Department (WASA) has moved a summary to the Punjab government for installation of 28 new tube-wells to ensure sufficient supply of water.
At least 11 out of the 28 tube-wells would be installed from the grants of MNAs, MPAs and the Rawal Town TMA and 12 from the budget earmarked last year while the remaining five would be installed from the current budget.
According to the WASA, 50 new personnel, including valve men, tube-well operators, heavy duty drivers and motor technical staff would also be inducted for making these tube-wells functional.
The summary in this regard has been forwarded to the Punjab government after approval by the WASA governing board.
It’s hoped that the planned tube-wells would become operational and vacant posts would be filled before the next summer.
