PESHAWAR: MOL Pakistan Oil & Gas Company has spent over Rs90 million to date to ensure provision of clean drinking water to the less developed districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Karak, Hangu, Bannu and Kohat.
According to a press release, MOL Pakistan has funded and executed several water supply schemes including the installation of hand pumps, installation of wells and supply of water through bowsers in far-flung areas of the said districts.
Water supply to Nizrab Banda, one of the most underdeveloped villages of Hangu, is one of such examples where MOL Pakistan has single-handedly completed the project.
Citing serious water-borne illness among residents of most of the villages located along the Bannu-Kohat road for lack of access to clean drinking water, MOL Pakistan conducted an Electrical Resistivity Survey (ERS) in the area. It was done in coordination with the Water Supply and Sanitation Department, Karak.
An open well was dug that catered to the needs of thousands and provided them access to clean drinking water. After completion, the scheme was handed over to Public Health Engineering Department.
On the request of local community of the Hoti Banda village in Kohat, MOL Pakistan conducted a detailed assessment in coordination with government authorities and after analysing the ground situation, the scheme was approved, executed and handed over to Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) for future operations and maintenance.
In the far-flung areas of Karak where the situation worsens during summers, MOL Pakistan in collaboration with Karak’s district government sponsored the unconventional scheme of water supply using bowsers.
The makeshift arrangement catered to this most urgent need of the locals at several locations in the TAL Block and greatly appreciated by the local communities.
