Residents of Clifton and Defence, who rely on water tankers, have been facing difficulty in getting a bowser from the Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) as its tanker service is facing delays due to an acute shortage.
asserted
service → rely → shortage
At a recent meeting between the CBC and the Clifton Defence Community (CDC), a detailed discussion was held on the acute water shortage faced by the residents, a Rs14 billion project to lay a new waterline dedicated from Dumlottee to DHA and pending tanker supply applications.
asserted
discussion → hold → DHA
When many residents, who attended the meeting, complained that they are not even getting water through the CBC tankers despite having been given out tokens, it was explained that owing to the current shortage, the tanker supply is two to three months behind schedule.
asserted
supply → attend → schedule
The residents suggested that the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation water tankers be diverted to DHA too to take care of the backlog in supplying water as they are also available at a relatively lower price than the private tankers and can be booked a few days in advance.
uncertain
they → suggest → advance
In meeting with residents, CBC officials attribute backlog in bowser supply to water shortage
In a bid to learn more about the proposed dedicated waterline project, CDC President Abdur Rehman inquired about its progress from CBC officials, including Secretary Sajjad Nazir and Chief Cantonment Engineer Abdul Rahim Shaikh.
asserted
Rehman → attribute → Nazir
It was explained that work on the new pipeline, expected to complete in a year’s time, has already started.

asserted
which → carry → lines
The residents also requested that the existing water distribution system be improved before the new project is completed.
asserted
project → request → ?
There were other complaints also raised by residents about private tankers filling up from CBC hydrants to which the CBC officials denied any such action.
asserted
officials → be → action
They further said that if any resident saw a private tanker filling water from a CBC hydrant, they should take a picture of it and immediately send it to the CBC officials concerned so that the matter can be investigated and necessary action be taken.
asserted
action → say → officials
“There are unnecessary and redundant lines and ineffective management of valves that need to be looked into,” said CDC’s President Abdur Rehman.
asserted
Rehman → be → valves
He also highlighted the residents’ suggestion of installing water meters and devising an effective system for supply according to water consumption, so that the internal system is fully ready by the time the water supply from the new line begins.
uncertain
supply → highlight → line
Regarding residents’ concerns over tanker service delays, CBC Secretary Nazir told Dawn: “We facilitated those [residents] at the meeting who showed us their tokens [for water tankers] on a priority basis the very same day.”
asserted
who → regard → basis
