Chaudhary Park sewerage repaired
Water & Sanitation Agency (WASA) has completed repair, maintenance and replacement work of sewerage near Chaudhary Park on a war-footing to facilitate area people.
A WASA spokesman said here on Sunday that the Chaudhary Park area had narrow streets which caused problems in the sewerage and WASA had started the project on an urgent basis and completed repair, maintenance and replacement of the sewerage on Saturday night.
This sewerage facilitates the residents of Allama Iqbal Colony, D-Type Colony, Barkat Pura, Dastgir Pura, Waris Pura, Dagranwan Road, Muhammad Ali Road, Ghagmol Chowk and their peripheral localities. Completion of the sewerage would resolve longstanding issues of the area, he added.
Meanwhile, Managing Director WASA Aamer Aziz appreciated the performance of agency’s engineers and filed staff and said that WASA was trying its optimum best to provide quality service to people. Now, the consumers should also deposit WASA bills, dues and arrears timely so that the agency could further improve its water supply and sewerage services, he added.
