Sanitation Problem of Pakistan
Despite many other problems including financial, social,
rampant inflation, poverty, ever increasing unemployment, low literacy rate,
lack of merit in nearly all spheres of life, dearth of specialist doctors apropos
to the population, decreasing fertile land, disrespect of law in the whole
society, power shortage, lack of value addition of goods, poor infrastructure, ever
declining condition of all fields of life, Pakistan is among the first top ten
countries where sanitation problem is at the alarming stage. More than 40
percent of the Pakistani Population is having no access to the basic
sanitation. According to a report several millions of Pakistani citizens lack a
decent Toilet System. A big chunk of our population has no system for wastewater
disposal. This lack is responsible for different diseases. Improper wastewater
disposal contaminates potable water and our vast majority of populace is
drinking such contaminated water which badly impacts the health of our
nationals. Pakistani sanitation problem not new but it is very ironic that our
governments have not given priority to the sanitation problem. As the
sanitation problems increases day by day especially in the urban areas and it
is increasing the financial problems of the poor masses of the country.
Sanitation requires fund allocation on a large scale and government must also launch
an awareness program to guide the people and also involve them in the program
because without the participation of the people such a program will not give
the desired results. If we want to see Pakistan progressive, we shall have to
give priority to the sanitation.
