Removing a massive amount of garbage 150,000 tons in just two months! This includes collecting more trash every day and even having special teams help out. The Chief Minister’s plan may start in Quetta, but it can benefit the whole province. By working together, with good resources and community involvement, we can make Balochistan a much cleaner and healthier place to live. Let’s all do our part to create a brighter future for ourselves and future generations.

But why is cleanliness such a big deal? It’s not just about looking nice. Piles of garbage make us sick! Mosquitos and other bugs love to live in trash, and they can spread diseases. Quetta’s cleanup is a great move; we need strong cleaning systems, garbage trucks to collect trash, and proper disposal sites. We can also spread the word about cleanliness through campaigns, so everyone knows how important it is. Hark back to; Quetta once was a clean city. Tourists love to visit places that are clean and well maintained. This campaign will not only make our city healthier, but it can also attract more visitors and boost our economy.

The recent initiative by Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti to tackle the issue of solid waste disposal in Quetta is a welcome step. Daily collection target and the inclusion of PDMA teams, signifies a much needed focus on cleanliness. Citizens also need to explore the significance of cleanliness for a healthy and pollution free life.

Cleanliness is not merely about aesthetics; it is the foundation of a healthy life. Uncollected garbage creates a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and disease carrying insects. Exposure to such an environment increases the risk of respiratory problems, skin infections, and even more serious illnesses. A clean city, on the other hand, fosters a healthier population, reducing the burden on healthcare systems and allowing residents to live a more vibrant life.

The Chief Minister’s emphasis on tackling the issue with limited resources is commendable. While additional funding would undoubtedly expedite the process, it underscores the importance of a collective effort. Residents can play a vital role by practicing proper waste disposal habits, segregating waste at source, and avoiding littering. Community involvement in cleanliness campaigns can further amplify the impact.

Beyond individual health benefits, cleanliness is a cornerstone of environmental protection. Polluted environments, choked with plastic, overflowing landfills, and stagnant waste, have a devastating impact on ecosystems. Contaminated water sources become unfit for consumption, harming both human and animal life. Marine debris poses a severe threat to aquatic ecosystems. By prioritizing waste management and promoting cleanliness, we safeguard our natural resources and the biodiversity they support. Let us not underestimate the power of a clean environment. It is not just about aesthetics; it is about safeguarding public health, protecting our natural beauty and propelling Quetta towards a more sustainable future.
