Residents of Shahbaz Colony, Khairpur Nathan Shah, District Dadu, have been facing a severe shortage of drinking water for several days, causing immense hardship, particularly to women, children and elderly citizens. The affected residents submitted a written application to the Municipal Committee and repeatedly contacted the concerned water supply officials. Although they were assured that the matter would be addressed, no practical action followed. Neither was the water supply restored nor did any technical team visit the locality to assess the problem.
The prolonged disruption of water supply reflects serious administrative negligence. Access to safe drinking water is one of the most basic public services, and its continued denial exposes residents to unnecessary hardship and health risks. The local authorities must take immediate notice of the issue, restore the water supply without further delay and ensure the officials responsible for this neglect are held accountable.
