Valentine’s Day gifts: TMO gets adulterated tap water, roses
Protesters said the government officials were not concerned about the quality of water supplied to the citizens.
SARGODHA/RAHIM YAR KHAN:
Satellite Town residents on Tuesday presented a town municipal officer with bottles filled with tap water and roses to protest the poor quality of water supplied to their houses by the administration.
Several residents intercepted the TMO in front of his office and tried to give the ‘presents’ to him.
The TMO pushed the protesters and threw a bottle one of them got to hand over to him. Talking to The Express Tribune, the protesters said they thought presenting the TMO with the adulterated tap water on the Valentines Day would be the perfect way to highlight officials’ negligence of their duties. They said the government officials were not concerned about the quality of water supplied to the citizens because they themselves use bottled waters at their homes and offices.
