The governor in a meeting with Managing Director WASA Abdul Lateef Rana who called on him emphasized the help and guidance of international organizations to overcome the issue.

“If immediate and timely measures are not taken to control the water shortage in the provincial capital, we may face a number of problems in the near future,” he maintained.

He further said, “It is sad that even in this advanced age, we are giving clean drinking water to trees and plants, while we do not have the ability to recycle the used water.”
