He also thanked to the dedicated ground team, who, along with a group of committed volunteers, ensured that work began smoothly and purposefully.

As part of the long-term conservation plan, NLCO appeals for the construction of a protective truss/roof structure over the spring to prevent solid waste intrusion and ensure the sustainable preservation of this vital water source. It is hoped that SMC will continue its support by facilitating this critical next step.

Mission Ehsaas remains committed to reconnecting people with their ecological roots and addressing the silent emergency of water scarcity through action-driven community engagement.
