Desperately queuing for water in Area 25

Taps in Area 25 in Lilongwe have run dry for almost three days, prompting residents to scramble for available water in reservoirs such as boreholes. The situation worsened on Sunday and saw a mobile water bowser from Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) distributing water to the most affected residents. In the picture, desperate residents queue for water in Area 25A along the road leading to Nsungwi. —DUMBANI MZALE, Staff Writer
