As the weather turned hot, the residents of various localities were facing water shortage. They expressed fear that the situation would become worse in the coming days as Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) had no effective strategy to cope with the situation.
The residents of cantonment areas were forced to buy water from private tankers as the cantonment board Rawalpindi was paying no heed to provide water to them through alternative sources.
The residents of Adiala Road, Fazal Town, Shah Khalid Colony, Pirwadhi and Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) Tench Bhatta, Azizabad, Allahabad, Westridge and Misrial Road complained that they were facing water scarcity and repeated complaints to the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) and Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) had not yielded any results. A complainant of the area Adiala road said "we have to fetch water from far flung areas to meet the daily needs.
There is no water for Shah Khalid Colony, one of the complainant said that WASA badly failed in providing the basic necessity of life that is miserable and deplorable. Muhammad Nasir, a resident of Tench Bhatta, said that they had to buy water at Rs 1,000 a tanker to meet the shortage.
