Kudos for judiciary

Published December 16, 2017

CONGRATULATIONS to all Pakistanis, especially Karachi citizens where the Supreme Court has started inquiring about the water issue. The people of Karachi have been deprived of clean water for so long, while in the interior of Sindh millions of tonnes of untreated waste is thrown into the canals because water treatment plants are idle.

No wonder people in Sindh and Karachi, suffer from water-borne diseases.

The Supreme Court is the only hope for the frustrated people. Thank you judiciary!
