THIS refers to water tankers with leakage in their decanting valves which continuously drops water throughout the roads of the city.

I am not pointing out less volume of the water delivered to the recipient but to the damages that this water leakage cause to the passers-by, especially motorcyclists on the roads.

I recently suffered from this negligence of water tankers. I was injured after slipping off my motorcycle on the nursery flyover at Sharea Faisal because of a stream of water in the midst of the road. Concerned authorities should take immediate measures against this negligence for this can cause fatal injuries and even death to motorcyclists.
