Sanitation matters

March 18, 2018

The sewerage system of Rawalpindi demonstrates the incompetence of the local authorities. Mounds of rubbish have clogged almost all drains because of which dirty water remain stagnant in the streets.

Residents who live in impoverished parts of the city have complained that lack of sanitation in the area has resulted in the outbreak of serious diseases including chikungunya and malaria. The authorities concerned should look into this matter and take proper steps to deal with this issue.
