RAWALPINDI: The residents of Tench Bhatta, Peoples Colony, Bakra Mandi and adjoining areas are perturbed due to acute water shortage since the past several days. Fida Khan, a resident of the area while talking to the media said the Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) has not made adequate arrangements to provide water in the area, adding that the residents now have to get water from the tanker mafia. Another citizen Sheikh Nasir said, “We cannot afford water from the tanker mafia because it is too costly.” He alleged that the tanker mafia is looting and making money by selling water at high prices. The residents urged the authorities concerned to take action and ensure the provision of water in the vicinity.
