The KP government has formally requested the federal government and Punjab to address outstanding dues related to water supply from Galiyat to Murree. They argue that the Murree Water Board has been extracting water without a formal agreement, which has led to significant water scarcity in Galiyat. KP has also called for an immediate stop to a construction project for a 2-million-gallon water tank by the Murree Water Board, asserting that it lacks approval from the Galiyat Development Authority.
