Filtration plants

Published December 22, 2016

A FEW years ago, some water filtration plants were upgraded, but it seems no one was given responsibility for maintenance.

Now if you visit these plants, you will either find them out of order or water will not be available. I am here not talking about the standard of water, or the cleanliness of the place, which is another subject.

If this is the situation in the capital of Pakistan one wonders what the situation in the rest of the country will be.
