MIRPUR KHAS: The residents of Mirpur Khas are facing an acute shortage of drinking water as illegal housing schemes are stealing water from the main supply lines.
Sources said that illegal housing schemes have illegally installed three pipes to steal water from the main water supply scheme on Tando Adam Road. This land mafia enjoys the sitting government’s full support and nobody takes action against them. While the thieves use the stolen water to bathe their buffaloes, people are deprived of their rightful drinking water and suffer day in and day out.
The sources also said that on the order of some ruling politicians the public health department is laying another water supply line but it is meant to facilitate another housing society and a big commercial marriage hall.
Citizens have appealed that their city is supplied with drinking water and that an end is put to patronizing land mafia and water thieves.
