Due to acute shortage of drinking water in summer season, the deprived children and women of Thar are travelling so far distance for fling the drinking water. The Sindh government has announced to install 800 Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plants in Thar from which 635 installed in Tharparkar District, along with the people, livestock and fisheries are deprived of drinking water. Operators have closed the RO Plants in protest for nonpayment of their remaining salaries.

According to the Public Health Engineering Tharparkar's executive engineer Jawahar lal, most of RO Plants are closed and 400 RO Plant's membrane and machinery are dysfunctional and we are trying to resolve the issue on priority basis to run the RO Plants for providing the drinking water to the people of Tharparkar in the hot summer season.
