Gwadar water

Published December 3, 2017

ONCE again the city of Gwadar has been hit by water shortage. In 2012, too, Gwadar had faced a water problem for 175 days.

This city can get water from the Mirani dam which is 280km from Gwadar. Each tanker can carry 5,000 gallons of water and costs Rs17,000. The government must act immediately.
