A new ruling from a Punjab environment watchdog has barred a new sewage disposal station from operating adjacent to a Christian school.
In a notice issued on Feb. 19, Environment Protection Agency (EPA) director general Khurram Shahzad canceled the conditional approval issued to the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) of Faisalabad for construction of the disposal station near New Convent School in Madina Town, home to about 14,000 Christians.
