Quetta, Nov 6 – The Balochistan Civil Services Academy (BCSA) has released a detailed report showcasing the positive impact of privatized solid waste management in Quetta.
The comprehensive study, led by Director General BCSA Hafeez Jamali and Director Shabana, involved the efforts of eight senior BS-18 officers from the Government of Balochistan.
This research included ground surveys, financial assessments, and an evaluation of the current privatization agreement, all pointing to improved efficiency in waste management.
According to the BCSA report, 90% of survey respondents expressed satisfaction with the privatized system, citing improvements in cleanliness and efficiency.
The success of this initiative reflects the dedicated contributions of Commissioner Quetta and Dr. Faisal, CEO of the Balochistan Public-Private Partnership Authority (BPPPA), both of whom played key roles in elevating public service standards.
Key improvements highlighted in the report include the elimination of ghost employees, reduction of fictitious billing, and better vehicle maintenance—problems that had long hampered Quetta’s waste management operations. Despite these advancements, opposition has emerged from individuals benefiting from the prior system, leading to misinformation campaigns attempting to discredit the new setup.
The report suggests that the Government of Balochistan could further enhance waste management by implementing public awareness campaigns to promote civic responsibility and proper waste disposal practices. This study will be formally presented to Chief Minister Balochistan next week, marking a critical step forward for a cleaner and more efficiently managed Quetta.
