GWADAR: The ongoing water crisis in Gwadar is showing signs of slow and gradual improvement as coordinated efforts by relevant government departments and local authorities continue to address the issue.
In this regard, a high-level meeting was conducted at the office of the Director General, Gwadar Development Authority (GDA), to review the progress of relief measures.
In addition, the meeting was attended by MPA Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman, DG GDA Moin-ur-Rehman Khan, Commissioner Makran Qadir Bakhsh Pirkani, Chief Engineer GDA Haji Syed Muhammad, Executive Engineer Public Health Engineering (PHE) Momin Ali, and other senior government representatives.
In this sense, the participants reviewed actions taken in line with directives issued by the Chief Minister of Balochistan to manage the water shortage in the coastal city.
According to officials, around 40 tankers are currently supplying water daily from Mirani Dam to Gwadar.
So far, the plans are underway to add 50 more large tankers to the distribution line in the coming days, increasing the total number to 150 within a week.
Similarly, water supply from Shadi Kaur Dam is also being increased, while the Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) is working to expand the capacity of its water desalination plant to meet the city’s growing demand.
