Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has questioned the authorities over their inability to resolve the water shortage facing the country’s biggest city, Karachi.
The all-rounder, in a Twitter post, lamented that the country has been around for 70 years, with Karachi being the hub of all activities, however, the problems of the city, specifically the water shortage, remain to be solved.
Governments have come into power and gone, yet the water crisis has not been solved and the residents continue to suffer, he added.
Water levels at the Hub dam, one of the two main sources of water supply to Karachi, have dropped to a dangerously low level, creating an acute shortage of water in the metropolis.
پاکستان کو بنے 70برس ہوگئے مگر کراچی شہر جو پاکستان کی شہ رگ کی حیثیت رکھتا ہے اس کےمسائل آج تک حل نہیں کئے جا سکے، سمندر کے کنارے ہونے کے باوجود اس شہر کے مکین پانی کے بوند بوند کو ترس رہے ہیں، حکومتیں آئیں اور گئیں مگر پانی کا مسئلہ ٹھیک نہیں کیا، آخر کب پانی کا مسئلہ حل ہوگا؟
