Dirty filtration plant in Makkah Colony sparks public concern

Lahore: Residents of Makkah Colony have raised serious concerns over poor conditions at a local water filtration plant, which has fallen into neglect despite remaining operational. The facility, originally installed to provide clean drinking water, is now surrounded by garbage, broken taps, and unhygienic conditions, making it difficult for citizens to use. Locals report that although water is available, the lack of maintenance has reduced its utility and raised health concerns. Repeated complaints to authorities have not resulted in meaningful action. Residents have demanded immediate cleaning, repair of damaged infrastructure, and proper management to restore safe and accessible water services.
