They urged the authorities concerned to take steps for regular supply of water.

WASA Chairman Tariq Mehmood Sunday said there would be no water shortage during the holy month of Ramzan ul Mubarak.

Talking to APP, he said the agency had taken special measures for provision of water supply without interruption to its consumers.

Any kind of negligence and laxity at the part of water section staff both in office and at tube wells would not be tolerated.

The chairman said that a special cell had been established to deal with emergency complaints. He urged the consumers to register Water Complaint Sections located at Liaquat Bagh, Shamsabad, Commercial Market, Khayban-e-Sir Syed, Gulzar-e-Quaid, Chak Jalal Din, Dhama Syedan and Al Noor Colony. He appealed to the consumers not waste the water and asked them to plug leakages in pipelines of their houses and all taps should be tightly closed, he added.
