PESHAWAR
City Mayor Peshawar, Haji Zubair Ali has directed Water Supply & Sanitation Company (WSSC) Peshawar for launching a special cleansing campaign to clear streams and drains before the new spell of rains beginning from March 29, 2023.
He issued these directives on Monday to ensure smooth flow of water in streams and nullahs in case of heavy rains in the city and the people may not face devastated situations like in the past.
The city mayor expressed satisfaction over the special cleansing operation carried out in the streams and nullahs by the WSSC to improve the flow of water during the last three-day spell of rains in Gulbahar, Nishtarabad, Phandu Road and other localities of the city.
Haji Zubair Ali said that the PTI led provincial government had taken no concrete steps for bringing improvement in the drainage system of the city and despite spending billions of rupees the city was used to present the view of the pond.
He said that the City District Metropolitan Government will take priority based measures for the resolution of the drainage and sanitation related problems of the city to bring it at par with the requirements of the modern era.
