For the last two months an artificial water scarcity has been created for all the houses in Block-7. Kahkashan, KDA Scheme 5. For the last two years, ever since the water distribution was supervised by the Nazim of the area, people living in Block-7 had no water problems. I wonder why the Nazim is sitting quite, or has he too, joined the water mafia. Now all of a sudden water hardly trickles through the pipes. The scarcity is so severe that we do not get enough water for cleaning and household use leaving aside the gardens, which are dying out. An average household pays Rs 11000 to Rs 15000 per annum as water tax yet do not even get a reasonable quantity of water. Is this not government dishonesty?
There is an evil nexus between the KS&WB, the valve men and the tanker mafia. No amount for visit or telephone calls get any response. The only response one gets is that they buy tanker water. Is this not double taxation? Is this Islamic?
I appeal to the NAB to thoroughly investigate the KS&WB, the valve men and the tanker mafia and take them to task. Unless stringent measures are taken things will not improve and the people will go on suffering. Is this what the government wants? NAB should not only focus on the politicians, there is corruption beyond politicians too.
