My Motherland Pakistan

[RescueRanger]

Master planning in action:

Prime residential plot in Rawalpindi worth 3 carore being used as a rubbish tip with no road links.

#masterplan!

Some countries are ahead becasue they know difference between clean living areas and filth

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comparing US, Europe and Japan to south Asian countries is unfair. We have a long way to go.

After reading all this I conclude that more than Goverment we the people are responsible all this filth and mess. The day we correct our behaviour our towns and villages became clean.

We cannot correct our behavior until we see value in it.
When same Pakistanis are abroad, they behave pretty much as per the law of land.
I was once in a taxi in Melbourne, which was driven by a lad from Multan area.
He told me, he never used to stop at red traffic signal in Pakistan, but here he follow traffic rules because he learned the value in following law. This is exactly the root cause of problem.

can we compare our self with middle eastern countries, central Asian countries?
I have never seen such trashed environment there either.
I always wonder, how is the mentality of nation, growing around trash?
Whenever I go to Pakistan, once daily I pickup all wrappers of candies and ice cream, cola bottles, etc. from out side of my family house.
I ask kids to put bricks back.. once they are done with cricket, I tell kids to not throw ice cream wrappers in street but they look at me like an alien.
We were taught this stuff in Urdu books, do we not have such teachings in books any more or kids have learned to grow as hypocrite!

Hi,

This is my 4th visit to my motherland in the last 34 years---and it has been the most disappointing visit so far---.

I have visited the cities like Islamabad---Lahore---Multan---I traveled by road.

I was shocked to see the amount of filth and trash filling the streets and side walks of the cities---. The smell of rot and decaying filth is present in all these cities---lesser in Islamabad----less in Lahore but more in Multan---.

The cities are growing without any any personality and character---. The houses in Islamabad are outrageously large---in Lahore close clustered and in Multan one on top of the other---with no finesse---.

Multan was and is the filthiest of all these three cities---disgustingly filthy---even good areas are trash heaps---.

Actually---there are no good areas left in multan---. Totally out of control and rampant construction---with no regard to the building codes---and no one to enforce them either---.

It truly looked like a nation in chaos---looked like people with no direction---a ship without a rudder---total lawlessness on the roads.

As usual---doctors on strikes and poor suffering---.

Never have I observed the plight of the poor in such a distinguishing and open manner in my prior visits as I did now---.

The hope that there was in 2007 for the poor---is no more to be seen anywhere. It is all about greed---theft and plunder now---.

Much of what you say is true. But there is another way to look at it, but it requires a different mindset, and that is not to judge Pakistan by foreign standards. After a few hours of adjustment, judging Pakistan by Pakistani standards makes for a much more satisfying visit, full of good experiences and lasting memories. A little bit of caution and common sense with water and food, and everything goes well.

The sad part is cleaning the filth on road needs no "HIGH" tech planning

• Need a dumping ground out of city , which is close to garbage shredder plant
• Need 1000-2000 Garbage trucks, Just need to drive a truck across neighbourhoid every week on same time
  
• Need Drivers and garbage pickers
  
• Road cleaning vaccume units

All the homes in Pakistan with no paint on the building , need law enforcement to make sure property is "Painted" externally on all sides of buildings

The love for "Filth" is reflection of our inner corruption

Here is our achivement !!!

Meanwhile , folks in west are cleaning all the grafiti with power washer
Pakistan does not have this "super technology yet"

Hamari qoom , jannat jai gi !!!!

Now i know most of Pakistani cities are way unclean when compared to the developed-world standards but islamabad is a clean city even according to those cities and that comes from someone who has lived his entire life in Islamabad.And Peshawar is pretty OK.

 

[BATMAN]

Read in Books , "Being Vested in cleanliness, is half of your faith"

In that case, Pakistan is practically a faithless country.
Therefore when they questions faith of other states.. it sounds like hypocritical talk.

Pakistan used to be lot cleaner, only about 20-25 years ago.
Traffic used to e much better, people used to make queues at public facilities.
Meat sold was not that of dead/sick animals. Milk was only diluted with water.
Today, I feel biggest threat to Pakistan's stability is not terrorists but the corrupt nature of its people.

Hi,

All these facilities are available to the city---. Garbage pickers and trucks and tractors and dumpsters---it is just that the loot and plunder has reached the lowest of the lowest levels---.

Brother, you have not seen Islamabad of 80's. I lived most of my summer vacations there.
From distance, its roads used to seem like water channels... they were so clean and dust free and luckily traffic free as well.

Well it may not be that clean when it hardly had any population...But now islamabad has a perfect balance of population,cleanliness,good roads and whatnot.You cannot call it dirty by any standards.

 

[RazaGujjar]

Islamabad is a clean city... its sister city Rawalphindi, not so much.

Lahore is ok.. but should be alot better.

Never been to Multan.

 

[Trango Towers]

Every Pakistan who legally works pays EOBi and tax, where does it go? Pray tell, corruption works both ways. That pot hole on Islamabad highway is still there from 2008.

I am with you. Not against you

its long time, I was in Islamabad. It will be surprise, if what you say is correct.

Not much in Multan, it's hot and the Halwa is nice, a few nice mosques and the road trip is an adventure. There is this dhaba that makes an amazing cup of doodh Patti.

its long time, I was in Islamabad. It will be surprise, if what you say is correct.

Sir Islamabad is much better than rest of Pakistan. Maybe not Karachi Company and sector H11/I sector but most of G and F sectors are clean and well planned.
