  1. Waleed true that the funds are inadequate and govt is not taking huge initiative. But at the same time i think community people are also responsible for the situation. Sanitation can not be forced to someone, I am from India, the basic problem here is misuse of water. Have you heard that the place getting the highest amount of rainfall also having water scarcity problem? Now, whom to blame? Nature is giving at its most but we the people are misusing it.
