Peshawar: The Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) has decided to penalise and arrest consumers found wasting water in the city, according to PDA’s official Facebook page. Calling it an ‘emergency’, the PDA has announced that it will take strict action against water wastage under the Local Government Act 2019.
The development authority further announced that it will not spare anyone involved in misusing and wasting water as the resource is precious and should not be used recklessly. As per news sources, the PDA hasn’t made any arrest so far, but it has severed several water connections in Hayatabad.
In the second phase of the drive, the PDA will take further action against offenders and impose fines in addition to arresting people found wasting water.
