Contaminated water
Dhaka metropolitan city and Narayanganj dwellers are consumers of water supplied by Dhaka Wasa, a 100% government owned organisation. It is monopoly business for Wasa. No one can lift water from underground in Dhaka and Narayanganj city areas without obtaining permission from Wasa. We have learnt from the media that the government is enacting Consumer Protection Law to protect the rights of the consumers, while we observe supply of contaminated water by Wasa. Is it not self-contradictory? Twelve million city dwellers in Dhaka and Narayanganj have been consuming contaminated water supplied by Wasa every day. We urge the government to look into the matter and find a solution.
