Instead of making safe water accessible by reducing the price in the coastal areas, it seems the government is working to increase the price of water in the urban areas.
A Supreme Court lawyer has filed a writ petition with the High Court, seeking its order of injunction on Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority's (Wasa) decision to hike the price of water by 25 percent from April 1 this year.
The High Court orders to examine the Wasa water of Chittagong for Hepatitis E virus in purview of jaundice outbreak at the port city.
It has been a work in progress in different wards of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) to alleviate public sufferings mainly from the deluge during rainy season and its after-effect that causes severe damage to main thoroughfares as well as narrow lanes.
The High Court directs the authorities concerned to properly fix the covers of manholes and sewerage lines in Dhaka within 15 days.
