\nTo mark World Water Day, Randhawa called on citizens, government bodies, and civil society to adopt water-saving practices, such as repairing leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and adopting mindful consumption habits.
\nHe also stressed the importance of awareness campaigns targeting students, teachers, and the broader community to promote sustainable water usage.
\nDuring the meeting, CDA officials discussed various proposals to meet Islamabad\u2019s future water demands, including exploring alternative water sources and modernizing the water distribution network.

Feasibility studies and stakeholder consultations are underway to ensure the successful implementation of these initiatives.
\nChairman Randhawa concluded the meeting with a call for collective action. \u201cThe World Water Day serves as a reminder of the critical role water plays in our lives.
