In Gwadar, Pakistan’s bustling port city, an unexpected crisis has emerged in the form of a complete shutdown strike due to a se­vere drinking water shortage. For a whole week, Gwadar’s residents endured an unprecedented and unbearable water shortage, severely disrupting daily life. Despite the visible suffering, authorities failed to take swift action to address the crippling water supply problem. To address this issue, authorities must promptly restore water sup­ply, given the absence of an apparent water shortage in the region. Ensuring that Gwadar’s water supply is maintained is not just a local concern.
