Drinking water crisis: Gwadar port residents shut down Pakistan city

Residents of Gwadar in Pakistan have declared a complete shut down of the port city to protest against the ongoing drinking water crisis. The city, which is crucial to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, has been grappling with a water shortage for over a week. Despite the abundance of water resources in the area, the water supply to Gwadar has been suspended due to a dispute between the Gwadar Development Authority and Public Health Engineering officials. This situation highlights the need for effective governance and resolution mechanisms.
