Islamabad : City areas of Tajabad, Fazal Town Phase-II, Dhoke Hafiz, Shah Khalid Colony, and Faisal Colony are not being supplied adequate water supply in Ramazan. Residents demand proper arrangements to maintain the water supply.
“We the people living in Fazal Town, Phase-I near Shelton Guest House and a little farther in Salahuddin Avenue, Street. III behind Butt Market understand the gravity of the water shortage better than most other localities of Pindi,” says Abbas Shah.
“The residents of our area depend on their neighbors’ pumps for water. Whatever the number of bore-wells in the area is, often get dried up. How many houses can give water to neighbors and for how many days? They have no choice but to depend on tankers, and most of them are apprehensive about the quality of water,” adds Abbas Shah.

Islamabad:“Think about coming home and finding an overblown gas bill. For residents of Fazal Town Phase-I, Street No. 3, behind Butt Market surviving the coldest night, means, wearing as many clothes as possible, gathering together in a single room, and sleeping close to an electric heater. “We have got to keep warm anyhow,” says Farah Hussain.
“I and my two kids, 8 and 10, live in a house with a geyser lacking gas. Without heat or hot water, I can’t keep my family warm as I cannot have an electric heater being a mother of modest income,” says Fizza Mehdi.
