Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has claimed that Punjab Aab-e-Pak Authority (PAPA) was ready to run the province’s sewerage system. “PAPA can also rehabilitate the closed filtration plants of the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA).” He expressed these views during a meeting with PAPA Chairperson Dr Shakeel Ahmed at Governor’s House on Tuesday. PAPA Chief Executive Syed Zahid Aziz, Secretary to Punjab Governor Omar Saeed, Principal Secretary Dr Rashid Mansoor and representatives of welfare organisations were present on the occasion. Sarwar said that clean drinking water will be provided to more than eight million people of Punjab. The work will start on the sewerage lines and the WASA’s closed filtration plants as soon as the government allocates the fund. He further said that PAPA in collaboration with welfare organisations had started work on the project of installing clean drinking water filtration plants and rehabilitation of closed filtration plants in Punjab under which clean drinking water would be provided to people in various areas of the province including Lahore. Sarwar elaborated, “Every penny of the people is being fully protected under the Aab-e-Pak authority.” Published in The Express Tribune, September 1st, 2021.
