Water scarcity plagues coastal belt
Villages in Thatta, Sujawal face worst shortage in years
MIRPUR SAKRO:
Water has remained a scarce commodity in the coastal areas of Sindh at the best of times recently, but the area has now been hit by its worst shortage in years.
The wells, ponds and all freshwater reservoirs of various villages have been bone dry for the last month. The canals are now filled with sand and dust. Villagers are living either on the creeks or near them to purchase water. There is no water source in my village, says Haji Abdul Razzaq, a resident of Haji Ismail Katiar. We do not have even a single water pump, he adds.
