The New Nation - Internet Edition

Now-a-days, very often, in several houses at Wari residential area the supply and flow of water in WASA pipeline is very irregular, small in quantity and of extreme slow speed causing great inconvenience, difficulties and sufferings to the genuine WASA customers/consumers.

In recent years many multistoried giant buildings with many, many flats have been built at Wari wherein innumerable people are living.

How and where from do they meet their huge requirement of water supply? It is alleged that some building owners and real estate developers have fixed and connected power pump machine with the main WASA pipeline and they are sucking and diverting water to their mammoth buildings depriving legitimate and genuine customers/consumers of their rightful share of water.

Would WASA and the higher authorities concerned kindly look into the matter, stop misuse and system loss of WASA water and remove the grievances of the sufferers?

It would also not be irrelevant to mention here that Dhaka WASA is pulling out and supplying billions and billions of gallons of ground water from its more than 450 deep wells which is very harmful and dangerous for our environment and may cause dreadful earthquake in Dhaka at any time.

Dhaka WASA, without any further loss of time, may arrange and ensure adequate supply of surface water from our surrounding rivers Buriganga, Turag, Bali and if necessary, from distant rivers, mitigate the sufferings of the people and save our capital city Dhaka from a natural disaster, an imminent catastrophic earthquake due to extracting, emptying and exhausting our ground water day by day.
