Dubai: Unfazed by the recent Indo-Pak tensions, a Dubai-based Indian businessman has installed over 60 hand pumps in a poverty-stricken district of Pakistan’s southeastern Sindh province, according to a media report.
Joginder Singh Salaria set up 62 water pumps in Tharparkar district with the help of social workers after knowing the plight of the area through social media. He also sent bags of grains to the community. Salaria, who has been a UAE-resident since 1993 and runs a transport business said he reached out to social workers in Pakistan via social networking sites such as FB and YouTube, established contacts with them and funded the operation.
