Gwadar: dry as a bone

Author: Daily Times

Sir: I recently visited Gwadar and saw that most of the city does not have any water supply system. I am writing this letter so that I could highlight the problem the Gwadar’s residents face because of this issue.

The city currently needs six million gallons of water a day for it’s population of 100,000 people, but the amount of water bought to the city via water tankers is much smaller than this. Water is a basic human need; therefore I would like to request that the concerned authorities do something to solve this issue.
