Water crisis becomes acute in Sylhet city [1]

City dwellers are facing acute water crisis as the Sylhet City Corporation can supply only 21 lakh litres of water per day against the demand of more than 65 lakh litres. Apart from technical faults, frequent load-shedding and low-voltage also seriously hamper the utility service in the city, sources in the city corporation said, adding that the authorities concerned can now provide less than one-third of required water.
