Editorial:
The completion of the Quetta Solid Waste Management Project in a record time of just three months stands as a testament to the power of effective leadership and public-private collaboration. Under the directives of Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti, this initiative has set a new standard for swift and impactful governance. Yet, as we celebrate this achievement, it is essential to acknowledge the individuals who played a pivotal role in turning this vision into reality.
Dr. Faisal Ahmed Khan, the Chief of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Balochistan, has emerged as a central figure in this success. His leadership in navigating the intricate dynamics of the partnership between the municipal corporation and a private company was instrumental in ensuring the project’s timely completion. In an era where public projects are often marred by delays and inefficiencies, Dr. Faisal’s approach offers a blueprint for future endeavors across the province and the country.
However, the work is far from over. The citizens of Quetta, once affectionately known as “Little Paris,” now look forward to seeing their city restored to its former charm and cleanliness. The success of the Solid Waste Management Project must be sustained through continued commitment and vigilance. This means not just maintaining the infrastructure but also fostering a culture of cleanliness and responsibility among the residents.
The government’s pledge to keep Quetta clean must be more than just a statement; it must translate into sustained action. As citizens, we too have a role to play in this transformation. The vision of a neat and clean Quetta is within reach, but it will require the collective efforts of both the government and the people.
As we look ahead, the partnership model championed by Dr. Faisal Ahmed Khan could serve as a catalyst for other essential services across Balochistan, including the newly expanded NADRA registration centers and mobile vans. The commitment shown in these projects is commendable, and with continued collaboration and dedication, Quetta can indeed reclaim its title as “Little Paris,” a city of beauty, culture, and cleanliness.
