Quetta is the capital of
Balochistan and this is the reason that most of families have been shifted to
Quettacity and its surrounding areas. Inthe past Quetta city was called a mini
London, but unfortunately it lost itsbeauty after earthquake in 1935.It was
rehabilitate after that incident. In this city people of different tribes are
living, which consists of Pashtun, Baloch, brhviy, hazara, Punjabi, Sindhi and
so many others. The population of the city is increasing day by day especially
it become more populated after afghan war due which most of afghan refugees have
been shifted to Quetta city from their afghan refugee camps. But today the
population of the city about 25 lacs person which we can say it is over
populated area. Due this huge crowd the city is facing great problems of many
things like shortage of water, senatrysystem, and supply of drinking of water to
the individuals, basic health, education, foods, electricity, gas and so many
other. Quetta city is situated in a valley which consists of mountains like char
shakhan towards east, zarghoon or sleeping beauty towards north and chiltan
towards west around the city. TheQuetta city like a lake and there is one way to
drain its rainy water as well as waste water using by the consumers. Today
Quetta city one of the most polluted city after maxico.the main reason is that
there is shortage of awareness. Being a Muslim we do not care of cleanliness of
our houses as well as or surrounding area. AsIslam says that ‘SAFFAI NISF EMAN
HY’so, being a Muslim we must adopt the rules which Islam teaches no doubt if
follow Islamic ways than no reason to be polluted our surrounding area. So we
can say the main causes of the pollution are a large numbers of vehicles are
running on the roads like buses, trucks, rickshaws, motor bike etc, which is
main cause of pollution. Another things is shopping bags like plastic bags which
cannot dissolveeasily, due to which main gutter pipe lines are blocked and this
the reason that we see alarge number of dirty water on the road which make
causes of different diseases. In the past there were a number of trees along the
road side of the Quetta but with the passage of time all these are cut down in
order to specious the roads.Govt of Balochistan expends millions of rupees for
plantation, but unfortunately after plantation no one is observed to water them
throughout the year. There should be plantation of tress especially around the
road sides because they are good sound absorbers and they can also absorbs the
pollution as well.
