Fawad Chaudhry Announces The Launch Of Mineral Water Bottles For Rs. 1 Per Liter

However, it seems the government is finally waking up to the financial crises that average citizens are struggling against. As a small but welcome step, Fawad Chaudhry announced the launch of mineral water bottles that will only cost Rs. 1 per liter.

The Pakistan Council of Research and Water Reserves has spearheaded this effort and so far prepared bottles in 500 ml packaging.

Fawad Chaudhry has received a lot of appreciation by netizens for launching the mineral water bottles.

While this is certainly a news to appreciate, we – like many Pakistanis who reacted to the news – wish that the government would also introduce similar measures to provide relief to common citizens who are facing the brunt of inflation from the front-line.
