Dhaka Wasa and army
The emergency standby diesel generator of the Wasa pump located at Rashed Khan Menon Sarak, opposite Janakantha Bhaban, did not operate in case of electricity failure till end March 2010 leading to scarcity of water. Fortunately, the LGRD Minister and the AL general secretary declared deployment of the armed forces from April '2010 and thus the Wasa generator became operative leading to solution of water problem around this locality. What a success story of Wasa water supply!
Corruption in Wasa is mentioned in TIB reports. The parliamentary standing committee has expressed dissatisfaction with Wasa affairs but corruption continues, though the prime minister hoped, while approving the new pay scale, that henceforth officials would refrain from corrupt activities. Wasa officials remained dormant during the two years of caretaker governance. The government should deploy the armed forces for collecting Wasa revenue also!
