Besides, Alkhidmat was also working to make people aware of dangers of impure water. Abdul Rasheed said that Alkhidmat was serving people in many ways, but providing clean water was one of most important ones. He expressed his hope that residents of Lyari would benefit from new plant and expressed his desire to establish water filtration plants in every area of Karachi. He appealed to those with means to come forward and support Alkhidmat in this effort.
