MURREE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Feb, 2026) Deputy Commissioner Murree Agha Zaheer Abbas Shirazi on Friday laid the foundation stone of a modern reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration plant on Mall Road, Murree.

The project, to be executed under the supervision of the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) Murree, aims to provide clean drinking water to both residents and tourists in the hill station.
