Rahmatabad lacks basic facilities :Rawalpindi
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Rawalpindi

Thousands of residents of Rahmatabad are deprived of basic facilities because of negligence of the city administration and TMA officials.

Scattered mounds of filth, lack of cleanliness, poor sewage system, blocked gutters, uncarpeted streets and roads, shortage of water and lack of water filtration plants have made the lives of that area miserable, the residents complained. Few of streets were cemented by the administration, but there is no drainage system at all, a little amount of downpour is enough to fill the area with water.

Town administration is taking Rs30 monthly from every house in the name of providing cleanliness, but the condition of the area is getting worst day-by-day.

Jawad Hashim, a local said, “We have been getting contaminated water because sewage is mixing with drinking water because of outdated pipelines causing different diseases like hepatitis A B and C and other stomach diseases among children and adults.”

Locals said, “We have lodged a number of complaints with the Union Council Nazims and TMA officials for repairing of sewage system and providing of water filtration plants, but to no avail.”

Residents demanded of the authorities to handle the situation strictly and direct the concerned officials to solve their problems and ensure supply of clean drinking water.
