"content": "I would say the same for the North Easter part of the country. The Government should avail vehicles that can ferry water to remote areas so that people can have water. The Government should also drill as many boreholes as possible in these areas, so that people have water. Many people are living in dire need of water. It is even worse in towns with high population, especially during this time of COVID-19 pandemic. People need water for washing and cooking. It is a pity that there is no clean and safe water in this country. When people used to say we will be buying oxygen and water, I could not believe it. However, in my lifetime, we have started buying water. At the moment, in many towns in this country, people are buying water. Those who are poor cannot afford it and they are forced to fetch dirty water from rivers. Dirty water is a major cause of diseases and other ailments. I plead with the Government to do all that it can to avail clean and safe water to its citizens because it is a constitutional right. I support this Petition and hope that it is going to produce some fruit."
