SWABI: No water in Dara for two weeks

By Our Correspondent


SWABI, Aug 25: Public Health Department has failed to restore water supply to Dara and its suburbs, and people there had been facing immense hardships for two weeks. The electricity transformer of the Dara water supply system was washed away when torrential rain lashed the area.

The residents complained that no-one was ready to provide an alternative transformer because the public health officials had taken no interest in restoring water supply.

They said they were facing a number of problems, and in the scorching heat it was very difficult to meet the water requirements from other areas. They said they had also informed the Tehsil Swabi nazim Masood Jabar and district nazim Jehan Zeb Khan but all of them were helpless before Pesco and failed to pressure the public health officials.

They alleged that the public health officials had deceived them and whenever the elders visited their office they were only told that the transformer would be installed very soon and the water supply restored but none of the pledges had materialized so far.
