Parts of Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) including Afshan Colony and its adjoining areas faced acute water shortage accompanied by prolonged load shedding. The situation is causing immense problems for the residents in the holy month of Ramadan.
The residents complained that some parts of the Cantonment Board were not getting adequate water supply, and that the problem was reemerging every year.
People were seen rushing towards water filtration plants to collect water for their needs. The authorities concerned only issued verbal statements and did less to address the issue.
