LAHORE, Nov 4: Governor Chaudhry Sarwar opened on Monday a water purification plant to formally launch the ‘Clean Water Save Life’ campaign.

The first two plants in the campaign were commissioned at Darul Shafqat schools for boys and girls here.

Sarwar, who drank the first glass of water from the plant, lamented that the filtration plants commissioned in the past were faulty and their water was not drinkable.

He said the provision of contaminated water to children, the future of the country, was injustice and regrettable as polluted water was responsible for 80 percent diseases.
