It’s surprising that Quetta has an acute water shortage so many times. It is recently noted that the underground water level has fallen to 1,500 feet and more on that it is expected to decrease further. Quetta – having 4.3 million people – is facing water shortage and the public is compelled to buy water through tankers, so per trip costs them Rs 1,200. Secondly, this has also effected under construction projects. The main reason is that the water is not stored and mostly it is used carelessly. The government of Balochistan should look on this burning issue which is happening in Quetta and ensure pure water supply.
