THREE water filter plants, one of which was sponsored by a Bradford company, have opened in Pakistan.

The three plants in Lahore will provide clean water for 9,000 people each day.

The plants are located in the Badshai Mosque, one in a church and one in the journalist colony for Christians and Muslims.

Haji Aslam, of the Aagrah group of companies in Bradford, who sponsored the plant in the church, was part of the party, which also included Canon Yaqub Masih (right), who officially opened all three of the water plants.

The water plant opening is the latest way to boost cohesion between Christians and Muslims in Pakistan.

The events were also attended by dignitaries including the Archbishop of Lahore and the Imam of the Badshai Mosque in Lahore.
