It is a universal fact that Gwadar is going through a tough time due to lack of drinkable water.
Being dependant on merely one dam, the people of Gwadar are facing several problems. The Ankara Kaur dam was built in 1993 in order to provide water to the inhabitants.
Likewise, 50 per cent of Gwadar’s population relies on Ankara Kaur dam. Unfortunately, its water level has decreased to a dangerous level.
According to an estimate, Gwadar city is supplied nearly 2 million gallons of water every four or five days, against the requirement of 3.5 million, which unfortunately, forces the people to go to far-flung areas to seek drinkable water.
However, owing to lack of interest by the authorities concerned clean drinking water remains a distant dream for people on Gwadar.
I appeal to the authorities concerned to look into the matter at the earliest so that the problems of the people could be solved.
