FAISALABAD, Nov 2: The silt pocket on a sewer channel at Millat Chowk on Sheikhupura Road was created by Wasa itself for desilting the channel.

Reacting on a picture published in Dawn with a caption “Residents of Millat Chowk have put up a fence around a drain where slabs caved in several months ago; the agency is yet to move to do the needful”, Wasa managing director Syed Ghiasuddin said: “The Frontier Works Organization will cover this silt pocket after the completion of remodelling of Aziz Fatima Chowk.”

He said to avoid any mishap, bamboos had been erected around this pocket by Wasa authorities.
