Citizens bemoan acute shortage of drinking water in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Citizens are facing an acute shortage of drinking water throughout the capital.

People told 92 News that all the areas, including posh sectors, are without drinking water. “We are moving from pillar to post to get water, but to no avail.”

They said that tankers had supplied water, but at 3am. “About 90 percent tube-wells are out of order and water is supplied from them after three days,” they added.

When contacted, the CDA officials said that the water supply was badly disturbed due to a technical fault at Khanpur Dam.
