Residents of the Maneri region in Swabi district (in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan's northwestern province) have been without running water for five days after the local Tehsil Municipal Administration failed to pay outstanding electricity bills of roughly 1.4 million Pakistani rupees. The Peshawar Electric Supply Company cut power to the water supply pumps after repeated reminders went unheeded, completely halting water distribution and leaving residents struggling to meet basic needs. Locals have demanded that district authorities intervene immediately to restore supply, warning of protests if the situation is not resolved.
