Benevolent Fund Housing scheme a widespread and a substantial housing scheme located in the near end of Sariab road. At first, it was principally orchestrated to allocate ample sort of plots to government officers on proper grounds, but people from other walks of life soon become engulfed with it. Additionally, the inconsistent bomb blasts, target killing, assaults, robberies from 2005 onward, re-calibrated environment for the people particularly for outsiders which eventually prompted in mass migration of intellectuals and educationists towards downtown. Nevertheless, that particular departure proved totally havoc, as they were being replaced by those who had adequate money but not education. Subsequently, the astonishing fade of these educated population left the authorities unchecked to unleash an authoritarian form of governance as no one left to question them.
No substantial and straightforward position has ever been taken against the endangered security situation, as it might be the only scheme in Quetta which is totally vulnerable with having no palpable boundary wall. The dearth of a boundary gives an easy access to every person or group to wander in streets at night and plunder the residents on their way to home. Meanwhile, The Football ground, which is located in the midst of the scheme, is another source of a safe haven for perpetrators to get themselves protected from any sort of action by public and security forces. Residents have recruited security guards on their own behalf, who are notwithstanding lethargic as well as incapable to confront the plausible rainy days.

Presently, the foremost problem is the lack of cleanliness. Huge reserves of garbage are present in each and every street, intermittently in the empty plots which have further proved stumbling blocks for deteriorated sewage lines. Astonishingly, for the scheme, an unsubstantial small area has been reserved for dust and garbage which is a small plain area having neither walls nor having any waste container. Owing to this garbage, an unpleasant wave of smell encompasses 24 hours in the environment and it is really hard to pass nears these dusts and now when there is no any alternate for them they have taken fancy to current situation. One wonders, that a scheme which is in direct control of S&GAD, and having ample of handsome funds, how it could be that much retrograde as compared to the schemes in other areas.
Moreover, the director general and other concerned authorities under his command have been approached several times but all such exercises have been futile. On the other hand, that is a fact that only officials on this problem cannot be repudiated for all these problems, the residents are equally responsible for the deteriorated condition. Unsurprisingly, inadequacy of moral values, ethics and etiquette in the indigenous inhabitants further add fuel to the fire. The wisdom of collective efforts is increasingly missing in our societies. No one is ready to be the first drop against the menace of uncleanliness and if some someone yearns to classify some extensive measures in the form of organizations, that it would certainly be halted owing to the perpetual reluctance by the others to be a part of it.
Surprisingly, a vast locality known as Killi Hussain Abad is another hard nut to crack as it is located in the focal point of the scheme. No any particular demarcation has ever been made by the scheme authorities to differentiate their areas to “killi” which is causing obscurity for all.
Nevertheless, it is the ripe time to stand against all those incompetent government authorities who are nothing but bulls in the china shops. No one can deny the fact that embezzlement on funds for cleanliness certainly persists under the cloud of influential people as everyone has his own shares in this matter. Indeed, strict notions and measures need to be taken against all those culprits to wipe out all unscrupulous administrators once and for all. Furthermore, not just in the government schemes, but each and every governmental department should get fastened with illustrious and noble officers on merit and experience base rather through the notorious nepotism.
One wonders that instead of having growing laudable education centers and collages the society in this scheme never even seems to be an educated. Similarly, No one can be chastised more than the indigenous people who mostly throw dust and waste wherever they find an empty place never meditating about its heinous impacts for them. So, to gain grounds, it is really obligatory to spread education to each and every corner so that the all old ridiculous and unacceptable traditions could be toppled. Hard and fast rules can be in initiated that could not be revoked by any power. Additionally, civic education and norms and morals about living standards can be given an esteem value in education centers.
