It gives me immense pleasure to introduce Water and Sanitation Services Peshawar (WSSP) to the readers. With the escalation in population of the provincial metropolis, there was a dire need to improve the civic services to better cater the needs of its inhabitants. Soon after the establishment of WSSP, one of the gigantic tasks was to immediately deliver, so as to ensure efficient and effective service delivery to the residents at their door step. Now, after nine months of the establishment of WSSP, all the four zonal offices have been made operational with all the managerial team on board and necessary tools and equipment in pipeline. I am thankful to Chief Minister, Provincial Minister for Local Government, Elections and Rural Development and other government functionaries who extended full support to put this newly established company (first of its kind in the country) on the track of success. I would also extend my heartiest commendations to the ‘WSSP Family’ for their tiring and dedicated efforts in achieving the assigned goals in the areas of Solid Waste Management, Sanitation and drinking water supply services of Peshawar city.
