Deputy Director CRC Muhammad Amin Dogar briefed her on complaints lodged on the WASA Punjab complaint portal, their resolution and their records. He also explained the services offered at the one-window desk.

The one-window centre provides bill correction, instalments, public complaints and pension matters under one roof, the handout said. Citizens no longer have to visit different offices for these services.

Dozens of citizens get relief at the desk every day, which has further increased public trust in WASA Faisalabad, the deputy director said. Ms Azuma termed the services at the customer centre and the one-window desk commendable.
