PASNI, 120km east of Gwadar, lies at a great bay, the extreme south point known as Jebal Zaren. It presents an open roadstead although not so well protected as Gwadar bay. Further up the coast; thousands of people, living there, are deprived of basic facilities; such as hygienic drinking water.

Moreover, people in places like ‘Waadi Sar’ Khudadad Mullah, Firagh Raike Pusht, Bungalow Bazaar, Nizar Mullah and many more have no access to potable water.

According to the neopathologist at the Civil Hospital, Pasni, diseases such as stomach ache, whooping cough, bronchitis, anemia and rheumatism have increased. The Akanda Dam is located in the district and can be a good source of water supply to Pasni. I request the authorities concerned to look into the matter.
