No water, no gas

Published January 28, 2015

AS a resident of block III A, Nazimabad, I invite the attention of all authorities to the crisis we have been facing for more than a fortnight in the form of an acute shortage of water and low gas pressure.

The water supply has always been irregular. But now we often don’t get any water for two days at a stretch. With no water and no gas our plight is obvious. We are constrained to buy food and drinking water. Complaints we make on the phone on the assigned numbers of the SSGC and KWSB are of no help.

I, therefore, request the chief minister of Sindh and the authorities concerned to look into our complaint and help us get water and gas on a regular basis.
