On the instructions of Chairman CDA, under the leadership of Deputy DG Water Management Wing, action was taken against illegal water supply connection despite the holiday on Saturday.
In Bari Imam and Quaid-e-Azam University disconnect about forty more illegal water supply connections. A few of these connections were re-connected. A total of around 150 connections have been cut and issued orders on the occasion of filing FIRs and imposing heavy fines against those who have made illegal connections again. For the past several months, water supply to Islamabad was affected due to illegal connections. And the water pressure in the sectors of Islamabad was drastically reduced and the number of complaints were increase on daily basis. Because of the number of illegal connections, the pressure in the lines of the small dam was reduced. And the quantity of water was not reaching the big tanks of Islamabad. And civilian sectors of Islamabad were getting affected. Since starting against these connections the pressure drop in the main water line has decreased somewhat. And the water supply in the city has improved. On this occasion, Deputy DG Water Management issued strict instructions to the staff that all remaining illegal connections should be disconnected immediately.
