LAHORE – The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday imposed a ban on the use of running water from hosepipes to wash cars in order to conserve water.

In a written order on a petition by Haroon Farooq, LHC judge Justice Shahid Karim directed the Lahore Development Authority and Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) to force local service stations to use water buckets only.

These orders are not restricted to the service stations but also apply to households with cars.

The court has also sought a detailed report from all housing societies in the next hearing.

Furthermore, the top court in Punjab has called for an awareness campaign on the said ban while directing the Punjab government to apprise the court regarding measures to conserve water and stop its wastage.

How is a ban going to conserve water!

Even Lahore (Paris of Punjab) knows what kind of citizens they have!

90% of water is used by agriculture yet it is homeowners who are being told to conserve water! The government needs to raise the price of water used by farmers. This is the only way to get them to conserve water. And yes it will mean higher food costs but the alternative, i.e. water scarcity, will also mean higher food costs eventually. At least if they raise prices now we can stop exporting our scarce water to foreign consumers in the form of cheap agricultural commodities. Also farmers will be forced to adopt more efficient means of irrigating their lands like drip irrigation which was perfected by the much hated zionist jews of israel!

کیوں مذاق کر رھے ھو میرا ھمسایہ گھر کو کرایہ پے لگا کے چلا گیا اور اک پائپ پانی کا جو سرونٹ ہاؤس کا تھا
پانی ڈیلی بہتا تھا پھر مے نے انفارم کیا مگر ریپیرنگ نہ ھوئی جب گندہ پانی شامل ھوا تو مے بیمار ھوا تب مے نے جا کر گلی سے خود پائپ کو بند کیا۔ یہ اک-19 18 گریڈ کے نیس کام آفیسر کا حال ھے

گلیوں مے ناجانے کتنے پائپ ٹوٹے ھوتے ھیں کوئی نہیں دیکھتا

ھر شاخ پے الو بیٹھے ھیں
انجام گلستان کیا ھو گا [emoji23]
