Safe water needed

Published February 7, 2018

THE Sindh government is not providing safe water to the people of Thano Bula Khan, located in Jamshoro district of Sindh.

As our area is mostly dry and hilly, the water we use comes from underground at a depth of about 100 feet. This water tastes bitter and contains dust particles. Owing to this, many a disease is emerging like gastrointestinal and diarrhorea.

I would suggest that to resolve the problem we should use the reverse osmosis plants, and new boreholes should be made so that we can get potable water.
