Various businesses, including bakeries, sweets shops, and local RO plants, are not meeting the necessary health standards, posing a challenge for the government to regulate them effectively

A recent report from the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Food Safety and Halal Food Authority revealed that nearly 40% of bottled water samples tested in the province failed to meet safety standards and were deemed unfit for human consumption

Pakistanis choose to buy bottled drinking water believing it to be safe and healthy, and not harmful to them and their loved ones. They spend money to prevent diseases and get clean drinking water. However, reports have indicated that bottled water across Pakistan may not be safe for consumption. Various businesses, including bakeries, sweets shops, and local RO plants, are not meeting the necessary health standards, posing a challenge for the government to regulate them effectively. Most of them do not meet the criteria set by the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) as declared in its rules and regulations. A recent report from the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Food Safety and Halal Food Authority revealed that nearly 40% of bottled water samples tested in the province failed to meet safety standards and were deemed unfit for human consumption.

Preventing this contamination is a significant challenge for the water industry and regulators, as it can lead to various health issues ranging from mild symptoms like diarrhoea and headaches to more severe conditions such as birth defects and cancer. Contaminants have various sources, including the environment and water processing. Despite efforts to address the issue, it stays in the water due to factors like climate change and globalisation. To effectively tackle chemical contamination in water, a comprehensive approach is needed, incorporating technological advancements, sustainable agricultural practices, and stringent regulations.

Water pollution is one of the major threats to public health in Pakistan. Drinking water quality is poorly managed and monitored. Pakistan ranks at number 80 among 122 nations regarding the purity of the drinking water. Sources of the drinking water, both surface and groundwater, are contaminated with coliforms, toxic metals and pesticides throughout the country. Various drinking water quality parameters set by the WHO are frequently violated. Human activities like improper disposal of municipal and industrial effluents and indiscriminate applications of agrochemicals in agriculture are the main factors contributing to the deterioration of water quality. Microbial and chemical pollutants are the main factors responsible exclusively or in combination for various public health problems. This review discusses a detailed layout of drinking water quality in Pakistan with special emphasis on major pollutants, sources of pollution and the consequent health problems. The data presented in this review are extracted from various studies published in national and international journals. Also, reports released by the government and non-governmental organisations are included.

In the first report of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Food Safety and Halal Food Authority has revealed alarming results from its first province-wide bottled water testing drive, showing that nearly 40% of samples failed to meet safety standards and were declared unfit for human consumption.

A total of 156 bottled water samples of different sizes — including 19-litre, 1.5-litre, 500ml, and 300ml bottles — were tested at the newly established Provincial Food Testing Laboratory and Research Centre. Of these, 59.61% met quality benchmarks, while 40.39% fell below the standards set by the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA).

During the briefing to Provincial Food Minister Zahir Shah Toru, Authority Director General Wasif Saeed disclosed that 56 water source samples were also tested; 27 passed, while 29 were declared unsafe.

The report flagged serious health risks, revealing that 61 bottled water samples carried microbial contamination, including Coliform, Faecal Coliform, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, two samples contained harmful chemicals. These contaminants, officials warned, pose significant threats to public health.

According to the Authority’s data, 143 licensed water plants in KP produce around 419,000 litres daily, but more than 117,000 litres were found substandard in the laboratory test period, which was held from August 23 to September 19.

The Food Authority announced that the campaign will now be extended to water filtration units and household sources to further safeguard consumers. Heavy fines have already been imposed on companies whose products failed testing, while substandard stocks have been recalled and destroyed. Production at non-compliant plants has been suspended until corrective measures are taken and fresh samples pass laboratory checks.

Minister Zahir Shah Toru praised the initiative, calling it a landmark in protecting consumer rights. He credited Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s directives for launching large-scale food and beverage testing drives through the new provincial laboratory.

“We are committed to rooting out substandard and hazardous products from the market. By ensuring food safety, we will reduce the burden on hospitals and protect public health,” the minister stated.

He emphasised that the government’s strict testing regime is not only about safeguarding health but also about helping legitimate businesses improve production quality in line with national and international standards.

It is noted that a couple of weeks ago, Pakistan Council for Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) declared 23 brands unsafe for human consumption due to microbiological or chemical contamination.

The government of Pakistan had tasked PCRWR with monitoring bottled/mineral water brands every quarter and publicising the results for the awareness of public health.

For the second quarter of 2025, from April to June, 203 samples of mineral/bottled water brands were collected from 21 major cities. Comparison of test results with the bottled water quality standards of Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) had revealed that 23 brands were unsafe for human consumption due to microbiological or chemical contamination.

Eleven brands, such as New Mehran, Aqua 111, Nice Pure Max, Pure Drinking Water, Logic, Himalya Cool, Natural Pure Life, Natural, Forever Bottled Drinking Water, Drinkly Pure Drinking Water, and Qudrat Water, were found to be unsafe due to the presence of higher levels of sodium.

Four brands Atco Drinking Water, Aqua Nest, Pani, and New Mountain were found to be unsafe due to the presence of higher levels of arsenic.

One brand labelled Vey Forever was found unsafe due to the presence of a high level of potassium above the permissible limit.

Nine other brands, such as Noble Pure Drinking Water, Aqua 111, Clear, Wah Water, Nice Pure Max, Aqua King bottled water, Maa Jee, Freshin drinking water and Iceland, were found to be contaminated with bacteria and thus were unsafe for drinking purposes.

PCRWR said that the general public was encouraged to look at the detailed report to know about the status of the water quality of bottled water brands they consume.

The ghost touch issue on the Infinix Zero 30 can be extremely frustrating. The screen starts working on its own, taps random icons, scrolls without input, or types automatically. This problem makes the phone difficult to use and can also lead to accidental calls, unwanted messages, or settings being changed without permission.

This issue usually begins without warning and looks like a software malfunction. However, ghost touch is often caused by small internal or external factors that gradually affect screen sensitivity. One of the most common triggers is a faulty or low-quality screen protector. A thick or damaged protector can interfere with the touch panel and generate false inputs. Dust trapped under the tempered glass can also create static signals and cause the screen to behave strangely. Removing the old protector and testing the screen bare helps identify if this is the source. Replacing it with a thin, high-quality protector normally improves accuracy immediately.

Moisture is another major cause. If the screen has sweat, water drops, or humidity trapped in the edges, the touchscreen becomes unstable. This is why ghost touch often appears after rain, washing hands, or using the phone with wet fingers. Gently cleaning the display with a microfiber cloth and letting the device dry restores normal performance in many cases. Also, moisture inside the screen due to minor water exposure can create continuous false touches. Keeping the phone switched off for a few hours in a dry place helps evaporate internal moisture.

Charging-related ghost touch is also very common in Android devices. Using cheap or non-original chargers and cables produces unstable voltage, which directly affects the display. When the current fluctuates, the touch panel becomes overly sensitive and begins to register random taps. Switching to a certified charger or the official Infinix adapter immediately reduces this problem. Even if the issue appears only while charging, it means the charger is the root cause.

Software glitches also play a role in ghost touch. When system files get corrupted or when too many background apps overload the device, the touch driver becomes unstable. Restarting the phone refreshes the system and often stops ghost touch temporarily. Sometimes the issue appears after a system update due to minor bugs. Installing the latest patch or updating all apps helps stabilize the touchscreen.

Overheating is another reason why the Zero 30 may start touching on its own. Long gaming sessions, high brightness, camera recording, or charging while using the device cause the phone to heat up. When temperature rises beyond a safe point, the touch sensors become too sensitive, resulting in ghost input. Allowing the phone to cool down naturally usually stops the problem. Reducing graphics settings or avoiding heavy use while charging also prevents overheating.

Full storage can also cause the touch system to slow down or act strangely. When internal memory drops below 3–5 GB, the device cannot process touch commands smoothly. Clearing unnecessary files, deleting unused apps, and restarting the phone makes the system run normally again.

Hardware issues are the most serious cause of ghost touch. If the phone has been dropped recently, even a small internal crack or loose display connector can trigger continuous false touches. These hardware faults often get worse over time. Water damage, even without visible signs, can permanently affect the digitizer. In these cases, only professional inspection and repair can solve the issue. A technician may need to tighten connectors or replace the display panel if damaged.

Ghost touch can also occur if the screen flex cable is bent or under pressure. Using a tight phone cover or pressing the phone in your pocket can affect the screen frame and disturb the digitizer. Removing the cover and checking the phone helps determine if pressure is causing the problem.

Resetting the device is another effective method when the issue is caused by software corruption. A normal settings reset refreshes all touch configurations without deleting your data. If the problem continues, a factory reset may be required. Backing up data is necessary before resetting the device completely.

If none of these fixes help, it means the digitizer or touch IC is faulty. These components cannot be repaired at home and require professional service. Replacing the screen or touch IC usually solves ghost touch permanently.

Preventing ghost touch is easier when the phone is used carefully. Avoid exposing it to moisture, avoid cheap chargers, and do not use thick or damaged screen protectors. Keeping the device updated and allowing it to cool down after heavy use also protects the touchscreen from malfunctioning.

The Infinix Zero 30 is a powerful phone with a smooth display and modern features, but many users face an annoying issue where the touchscreen stops responding. Sometimes the screen becomes slow, sometimes it lags, and other times it stops working completely for a few seconds. This problem can appear while typing, gaming, scrolling, or opening apps.

Touchscreen issues usually begin when the phone is processing too many tasks at the same time. If multiple apps running in the background, the processor and RAM get overloaded. When this happens, the screen takes longer to respond, and touch feels delayed. Closing heavy apps and restarting the phone often brings immediate improvement.

Another common cause is a software glitch in the XOS system. When certain system files become corrupted or when the phone hasn’t been restarted for many days, the touch system becomes unstable. A quick reboot refreshes the system and resets the touch drivers. If the issue started after a recent update, it may due to temporary bugs that will be fixed in the next update.

Screen protectors also affect touch sensitivity. A low-quality tampered glass, thick protector, or an old protector with dust underneath can weaken touch signals. This makes the touchscreen feel unresponsive, especially at the edges. Removing the protector and testing the phone without it helps identify if the protector is causing the issue. Using a good-quality ultra-thin glass usually fixes this entirely.

Dirt, sweat, or moisture on the screen can interfere with touch sensitivity. Even small oil marks reduce the accuracy of touch input. Cleaning the display with a soft microfiber cloth often restores sensitivity immediately. Avoid using wet tissues or chemical cleaners because they damage the coating on the screen.

A low battery can also make the touchscreen slow. When battery levels drop to 5–10 percent, the phone automatically reduces performance to save power. This causes lag while touching or scrolling. Keeping the phone charged above 20 percent helps maintain smooth touch response throughout the day.

Many users experience touch issues when the phone overheats. The Infinix Zero 30 has a fast processor, and long gaming sessions, video recording, or high brightness can heat up the device. When temperatures are too high, the phone slows down the touch response to protect the hardware. Allowing the device to cool for a few minutes solves the problem temporarily. Reducing graphics settings during gaming also helps control heat.

Internal storage plays an important role in touchscreen performance. When storage is almost full, the phone slows down because it cannot create app cache or temporary files. This affects the speed of animations and results in delayed touch response. Keeping at least 10–12 GB free space improves the overall performance of the device.

Sometimes the issue comes from a specific app and not the phone itself. Apps like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram use heavy animations and can freeze or slow down the touch. Clearing app cache or updating the app usually solves the problem. If one app constantly freezes, uninstalling and reinstalling it is the best option.

Damage to the phone is another reason for unresponsive touch. If the phone was dropped, hit, or exposed to water, the touchscreen connectors can become loose. This causes random dead spots on the screen where the touch does not register. In severe cases, the entire screen may stop responding. These issues require professional repair and cannot be fixed through software.

Hardware faults like a damaged digitizer, display malfunction, or a weak touch IC can also cause repeated unresponsiveness. These problems usually become worse over time, and the screen may start responding only after pressing hard. Visiting a service center has the only solution if hardware damage has confirmed.

Another common issue is ghost touch, where the screen responds by itself. This happens due to moisture inside the phone, cheap chargers, or damaged cables. Using only original chargers and keeping the phone in a dry place helps prevent this problem.

Resetting settings can also help when all other methods fail. A settings reset does not delete your data; it only refreshes system controls that affect touch sensitivity. If the issue continues even after a reset, a full factory reset may be necessary. Back up your data before performing a factory reset.

Keeping the phone updated is important because software updates include fixes for touch problems, lag issues, and system stability. If your Infinix Zero 30 has an available update, installing it may solve the problem instantly.

If the touchscreen still does not respond properly after all these steps, then the issue has likely hardware-related. A certified technician can check the internal components and replace the faulty parts.

Vivo smartphones are popular for their sleek designs and advanced features, but some users face a frustrating problem: the phone keeps restarting randomly.
