Residents of Gwadar city recently staged a sit-in outside the Gwadar Development Authority (GDA) office to demonstrate against the worsening water crisis in the region.
They accused the officials of neglecting the issue and engaging in corruption.
The demonstration, led by former municipal chairman Sharif Miandad along with Abdul Hameed, Maulana Ilyas, Waleed Majeed, Nasir Musa, and Shakeel KD, drew large participation from citizens, including women, elderly people, and youth, reported The Balochistan Post.
The protesters said people in Gwadar are facing an acute water shortage due to the crisis.
“Gwadar remains thirsty while officials hold photo sessions and make hollow claims on social media,” one of the speakers told the newspaper.
The demonstrators said the issue is not politically motivated.
“We don’t have water to drink or even perform ablution. This crisis has forced us to come out on the streets,” another protester told the newspaper.
