Alkhidmat inaugurates 66th RO Filtration plant in Gulshan-e-Shameem

Alkhidmat Karachi’s WASH department has inaugurated a new RO Filtration plant at Gulshan-e-Shameem, Federal B Area. The inauguration was done by Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Munim Zafar in the presence of Secretary, Jamaat-e-Islami District Central Gulberg, Kamran Siraj, Naib Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami District Central Gulberg, Syed Ahmed, Director Wash Program Gohar ul Islam and other senior officials. A large number of local residents and senior officials from Alkhidmat including Director, WASH program Gohar ul Islam were also present. The new plant brings the total number of Alkhidmat’s filtration plants in Karachi to 66. Speaking on the occasion, Munim Zafar said that scarcity of clean water was a major problem in Karachi and people were not getting clean drinking water easily. Contaminated water that was being supplied through pipes and tankers was a health hazard that resulted in the proliferation of water-borne diseases. Therefore, Alkhidmat was trying to provide clean drinking water wherever possible by installing Water Filtration plants in the city that were providing quality drinking water to thousands of citizens on a daily basis. Besides, Alkhidmat was also working to make people aware of the dangers of impure water. On his part, Director Wash Program Gohar ul Islam said that Alkhidmat was serving the people in many ways, but providing clean water was one of the most important ones. He expressed his hope that residents of Gulshan-e-Shameem would benefit from the new plant. He expressed his desire to establish water filtration plants in every area of Karachi and appealed to those with means to come forward and support Alkhidmat in this effort. Lastly, residents of the area thanked Alkhidmat for its initiative and said that the new RO plant would fulfil a vital need of the area which was suffering from shortage of clean water for a long time.
