By Our Staff Reporter
KARACHI, Oct 1: Residents of Chawakiwara staged a protest rally against water shortage on Sunday afternoon. Holding banners and placards, the protesters comprising youth, women and children of Lyari Town’s UC-10 converged at the Karachi Press Club and raised slogans against perennial water shortage problem in their locality.
The participants of the rally, organised by the Lyari Awam Dost Tehreek, complained that water crisis coupled with frequent failure had made life miserable, saying that they had brought the matter to the notice of relevant authorities but they had not received any positive response forcing them to resort to agitation.
They also criticised the role of local body members for their indifferent attitude toward their problems. The protestors urged KESC management to stop unscheduled loadshedding in the locality.
