Access to safe water and sanitation is a basic human right and one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nation's agenda for 2030. Yet, WASA has been accused of supplying unsafe water to our homes time and time again—and we are yet to see improvements. In a congested city like Dhaka, this lack of supply of safe water hampers our standards of living. I urge the authorities to provide safe water to the homes all around Dhaka. This is especially needed now, at a time when health is of utmost importance.
