UAE sets up four water purification plants in earthquake-hit areas
ISLAMABAD, Nov 8 : A team of the United Arab Emirates armed forces have set up four water purification plants in the earthquake-hit Balakot and Muzaffarbad, to ensure clean water supply.
Each of the plant will purify 10,000 gallon of drinking water for the quake survivors.
Three plants have been set up in Balakot and the fourth has been installed in Muzaffarabad.
The UAE team has made arrangements to carry out maintenance of all the plants regularly.
The lack of clean drinking water has been one of the major problems in the quake-affected areas as the devastating earthquake also badly hit the water supply system.
“Water purification plants have been established keeping in view of the people’s problems and to ensure supply of clean water,” the UAE Ambassador in Islamabad Ali Mohammad Al-Shamsi said.
