The area residents told ‘The News’ that they went to Assistant Director (Water Supply) Sadoon Basra to resolve this issue but unfortunately he took this matter non-seriously. The concerned officer said that it was a routine matter. Being responsible citizens, we informed WASA that main water pipeline was broken. But nobody took any kind of action against it even after four days, the area residents said. The area residents have appealed Punjab government to deploy efficient staff here in WASA to resolve public related matters.
