The Quetta Sewrerage System
The People of Quetta were very happy and were thankful to the TAXPAYERS OF HOLLAND for their huge donations to build a sewerage system for Quetta! Alas, this happiness did not last long and the dream never got materialized. What had happened actually was that after a decade's planning and bureaucratic wrangling the project got underway in early 90s, especially during 1993-94 and instead of executing the project in stages, all the street/roads were dug out at once to lay down the sewage pipes. People couldn't get out of their homes easily, dust was everywhere and the already chaotic traffic had become a total failure. The people of Quetta were tolerating all this just because (they thought) they were going to get the sewerage system and that their city would become cleaner, more hygienic and less stinky, Hurray! But no, nothing happened afterwards; 100s of kilometers of sewage pipes remain *buried beneath the soil, 100s of people must have died as a direct result of inhaling dense dust and other pollutants. Many businesses suffered. To this date we don't know what happened? All we know is that few people became millionaire out of this big scam - at the expense of the residents of Quetta and Dutch Taxpayers! No enquiries were ever carried out and no public reports are available to this date as to the failure of this grand project. We must acknowledge the generosity of the people of Holland who gave millions of dollars for this project. But shame on those thieves who got away with every thing and never implemented this project!
* After a few centuries the residents of modern Quetta (if that ever happened!) would excavate all these pipes again and would claim they have discovered an old, modern and sophisticated civilization whose sewage pipes were so clean that God knows what they did with their drainage wastes! Documentaries will be made and specialists from around the world would be consulted to solve the enigma. And then finally some clever guy will come with the idea that these pipes were never used and that the money meant for the project was misused by few who were
entrusted with this project!
Oh God please have mercy upon our poor people! No more scams please!
