The inhabitants including Mohammad Ismail, Zahid Akbar, Wasiullah, Bahar Ali, Islam Gul and others said there was an acute shortage of drinking water as the tube-well was lone source of supplying water to the area.

They said that the elders and children fetched water from the far-flung area in the holy month of Ramazan as there was no water supply due to non-functioning of the tube well.

The residents said the faithful were facing difficulty in performing ablution to offer the Taraveeh prayers as the shortage of water had also hit mosques.

A resident Mohammad Ismail said that the officials concerned had failed to repair the faulty tube-well which had created problems for the local people. He said the broken pipe of water supply scheme near the Government High School Badar Banda led to a waste of water. The residents demanded the chief minister to order the high-ups of the PHE Mardan office to repair the tube-well.
