Residents in Kohat city staged protest against the supply of contaminated water to the households in the area as worms are being spotted on regular basis in the potable water.
The protesting dwellers of Mohallah Barkatullah, Main Bazaar, Mohallah Zargaran, Parachgan Street, Tehsil Gate and other localities of the city were chanting slogans against the tehsil municipal administrator.

They said that due to the use of polluted water, children particularly those using the substandard water in schools have been catching various diseases. The residents said they had registered their complaints time and again in writing with the tehsil municipal officer, but no action has been taken to date.
