One either has to purchase bottled water from a store or find a mosque for free drinking water
KARACHI: The heat and humidity of Karachi are not unknown to anyone. In the world today, most of us travel by public or personal automobiles. But, sometimes on an unfortunate day, when one has to travel by foot, one experiences the absence of public drinking water dispensers on streets. One either has to purchase bottled water from a store or find a mosque for free drinking water.
A healthy human being consumes about 11 litres of water daily. This prerequisite upsurges even more on hot summer days. What kind of government fails to ensure the provision of clean drinking water for its citizens?
I request the local administrative authorities to come forth with a solution to this problem.
