Residents Face Water Shortage In Sectors G-13 & 14

Islamabad : The residents of residential sectors G-13 and G-14 are paying up to Rs5,000 to get water from private tankers to meet their requirements in the ongoing summer season.

According to the details, the builders are constructing buildings in these sectors but the availability of water is still a grave issue that is yet to be resolved by the concerned authorities.

Water is sometimes provided once a week and sometimes not at all and people are left on the mercy of the tanker mafia. Some areas are more affected like St 79, G-13/1, and St 39, 43, and 45 in G-13/2.

A plan was under consideration to supply water to these sectors from Khanpur Dam but there were some issues that acted as stumbling blocks such as encroachment and non-acquisition of land for laying the supply lines.
