ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Aalmi Bank ne dehi Sindh mein 15 lakh afraad ko peene ka saaf paani, nikasi-e-aab aur hifzan-e-sehat ki sahooliyat farahem karne ke liye 30 crore dollar ki manzoori de di hai, jahan bank ke mutabiq paanch saal se kam umar ke aadhe se zyada bachay nashonuma ki kami ka shikaar hain.
Bank ke Board of Executive Directors ne Jumay ko Sindh Transformational Accelerated Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Services Project ke pehle marhale, jise STAR WASH-1 kaha jata hai, ke liye yeh raqam manzoor ki. Yeh soobay ke liye das saala programme ka pehla marhala hai.
Pehle marhale ki kul laagat 54 crore dollar hogi. Aalmi Bank ke 30 crore dollar ke ilawa Asian Development Bank 15 crore dollar aur Hukoomat-e-Sindh 9 crore dollar farahem karegi.
“Nashonuma ki kami Pakistan ki insani sarmaye se jure sab se sangeen aur dairpa masail mein se ek hai, aur ghair mehfooz paani, nikasi-e-aab aur hifzan-e-sehat ki kami is ki ek bari bunyadi wajah hai,” Pakistan mein Aalmi Bank ki country director Bolormaa Amgaabazar ne kaha.
Bank ke mutabiq ghair mehfooz peene ka paani aur naqis nikasi-e-aab chhote bachon ko baar baar ishaal mein mubtala karte hain, jis se un ke jism ghizaiyat jazb nahin kar paate aur un ki jismani aur zehni nashonuma ruk jati hai.
Yeh raqam muntakhib dehi ilaqon mein shamsi tawanai se chalne wali paani ki farahemi ki schemon, behtar nikasi-e-aab aur gande paani ke nizam par kharch hogi, aur saath hi gharon aur bastiyon mein safai ki aadaat badalne ki muhim bhi chalayi jayegi. Mansoobay ka maqsad istemal ke maqaam par paani ki aaloodgi ko aadha karna aur hadaf banayi gayi dehi bastiyon mein se 80 feesad ko paani aur nikasi-e-aab ki peshawar service farahem karne wale idaray se jorna hai.
Is se 14 hazaar se zyada mulazmatein paida hone ki tawaqqo hai. Is ke zariye Sindh People’s Housing for Flood Affectees, jo 2022 ke selaab ke baad qaim kiya gaya ek sarkari milkiyati ghair munafa bakhsh idara hai, ko dehi paani aur nikasi-e-aab ki ek makhsoos utility company mein badla jayega, taake nayi sahooliyat peshawarana andaaz mein chalayi jayein aur apna kharcha khud poora kar sakein.
Dehi Sindh selaab ke saath saath khushk saali ki zad mein bhi raha hai. Is hafte ke awail mein soobai hukoomat ne Tharparkar aur Umerkot mein khushk saali se hone wale nuqsanaat ka survey karane ka hukm diya, jahan hukkam ke mutabiq zyada tar faslein tabah ho chuki hain.
