Title: Installed A Submersible Pump Successfully for Safe Drinking Water Through EPR Project at Ward No. 26 in Khulna City Corporation.
Project: Excluded People’s Rights in Bangladesh (EPR)
Location: Ward No. 26, Khulna City Corporation.
Story Details
Out of 31 wards under Khulna City Corporation, about 900 families live in West Baniakhamar area of Ward 26 under Khulna Mukti Seba Sangstha's EPR project. Of these, about 400 families had access to safe drinking water. In such a situation, Ward No. 26 CSG President Mr. Md. Mostain Billah and Vice President Mr. Abdus Salam Lavlu along with other CSG members led by CSG member Atia Jamila Ruma and ward residents appealed to the Honorable Councilor of Ward No. 26 Mr. Golam Maula Shanu. That their area is a populated area and there is a primary school but there is no provision of potable drinking water. If a submersible is provided in the area, the locals will be greatly benefited and the need for safe drinking water will also be met by the tender children of the school.
Current Situation: - Ward Councilor No. 26 Mr. Golam Maula Shanu placed a sub marshal along the walls of the primary school. As a result, the water demand of the locals is getting old and people from other areas also come and fetch water and even the tender children of the school are meeting the demand for water. Now everyone no longer thinks about water. Beneficiaries are happy to get this water and express their sincere thanks to KMSS and Citizen Support Group (CSG).
