The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has banned car washing at homes and commercial areas to prevent water wastage.
WASA Deputy Managing Director Zeeshan Shaukat Gondal announced that violators would face fines. A fine of Rs. 10,000 will be imposed on domestic users and Rs. 20,000 on commercial users for the first violation. On a second violation, the water will be disconnected.
This decision follows orders from the Lahore High Court. A WASA spokesperson stated that the agency has created a strategy to conserve water and prevent its misuse. Officials emphasized that water is essential for human survival, and conserving it is crucial.
Mr. Gondal highlighted the global water crisis caused by climate change and other factors. He noted that Rawalpindi faces a severe water shortage due to excessive water usage and declining groundwater levels.
WASA is working to manage water distribution in Rawalpindi effectively. The deputy managing director urged the public to avoid wasting water and follow the Lahore High Court’s directives. Cooperation from citizens is vital to ensure successful implementation.

This qualifies as comedy news.
WASA like most other government departments of this country has lost sense. May be WASA officials are running service stations so that people go there for car wash and they earn. These idiots need to be told that the same ground water is available at homes and at service stations. What wastage? Those making such policies should be removed from service with hefty fines. If they cannot do any good, they should at least stop such nonsense.
