1) PROJECT BACKGROUND
The name Quetta originates form the Pashto word Kwatta which means a fort. In the
beginning, the town was situated within the walls of fort “A Miri” which is now used as an
arsenal.

Till the middle of the eighteenth century, the history of Quetta district is identical with the
history of Kandahar. In the eleventh century it was part of the Graeco-Bactrian Empire.
After that it remained under the kingdom of the Amir Sabuktagain and Mahmood Ghaznavi
till the thirteenth century. In 1470, the Kandahar was succeeded by Timur. Between 1530
and 1545, the province of Kandahar was in the possession of Mirza Kamran (the brother of
a Mughal ruler). In 1622 the Kingdom was brought under the sway of the Safavid dynasty
and remained there until 1709. Later Ghilzai came into power and ruled the area.
Thereafter, Quetta was transferred to Nadir. Later on history relates that Ahmed Shah
Durrani finally conferred Quetta to the Khan of Kalat as a shall (present).

The British Government occupied Quetta during the first Afghan war in 1839. Just after
three years, in 1842, it came back into the hands of Khan of Kalat. Due to its strategic
importance, it was preoccupied by Sir Robert Sandeman in 1876.

On 26 may, 1876, a treaty was signed by Amir Yaqoob Khan of Afghanistan with the British
Government at Gandamak. Thus the conflict which emerged as a result of the first and
second Afghan war came to an end.

In 1883, Quetta was formed into a separate single administrative unit (Quetta – Pishin
district). Due to its geo-strategic importance, the British built Quetta as a garrison town.
They extended the roads and railway network to Afghanistan and Iran. This situation
remained unchanged till the partition of the Sub-continent in 1947.

Under the one-unit system from 1955 to 1970, Quetta and Kalat were the administrative
units in West Pakistan. After abolishing the unitary system, Quetta was declared as Capital
of Balochistan. Till 1975, Quetta and Pishin were a single administrative unit. In that year
Pishin was declared a separate district.

Very little is known about the human settlement in the district. However, it is certain that
the Afghans and Brahuis are recent immigrants. The Pushtoons appear to have entered the
district from the north east, emigrating from their home round the Takht-i-Sulaman. Kasis
(A branch of Afghan) are said to have migrated from their home around the Takht-e-
Sulaman about eight centuries ago. They made their first settlement at Samil, a village near
Quetta city. The Brahuis are an offshoot from the Kalat territory and their presence in the
district dates back to the eighteenth century.

With the passage of time, Quetta began to expand and soon it turned into a beautiful small
town. The British paid special attention to its cleanliness. However, 31 May, 1935 was a
black day in the history of Quetta. An earthquake destroyed Quetta city completely. The
cantonment area survived to a great extent.

The reconstruction started soon after. Till 1947 Quetta was a small town. People used to
call it small London. But rapid population growth in terms of rural- urban migration, and
influx of Indian refugees increased the population at Quetta. Influx of Afghan refugees
during the 1980s helped the slums to grow. New settlement in the form of housing schemes
emerged at Satellite Town, Jinnah Town, Samungli Town, Model Town and Shahbaz Town.
In Kachi Abadies, slums also begun to develop. The process of settlement continues. Now
Quetta has turned into an over-populated city.

There are some mounds and karezes of ancient time in the district. The most important
archaeological site is a Quetta Miri (a mass of indurated clay). The base of Miri is 183 meter
long by 122 meter wide and rises 24.4 meter above the plain. The Miri is now used as an
Arsenal. Among other noticeable mounds are one between Panjpai and Muhammad Khel.
Beside, some karezes of archaeological interest are found at Kirani, Sariab and Kachi Baig.

Topography

Quetta district lies between 30° – 03 and 30° – 27’ N and 66° – 44 and 67° – 18’ E. the total
geographical area of Quetta district is 2653 Km².

The general character if the district is mountainous. The hill ranges are fairly uniform in
character consisting of long central ridges form which frequent spurs descend. These spurs
are intersected by innumerable gorges and torrent beds. They vary in elevation from about

Section-5: Terms of Reference (ToRs)


46
RFP FOR QUETTA MASTER PLAN (DRAFT COPY)

1,254 to 3,500 meters. The Mashlakh, the Chiltan, the Murdar and Zarghaoon are the
important mountain ranges in the district. Quetta lies in the active seismic region; therefore
earthquakes occur from time to time. The worst earthquake occurred in May 1935, when a
large part of Quetta was destroyed and 60,000 people died, as recent as February 1997
seven earthquakes (7.1 on rector scale hit Baluchistan).

There is no perennial river in the district. The Quetta Lora comes out near Sariab and
traverses the western side of the Quetta valley. This Lora carries rain and waste water near

Baleli and continues northward through the Kuchlak valley. Water of Quetta Lora is used
for irrigation in villages like Khazi Samungli and Nohsar.

Hanna stream is the important source of drinking and irrigation water in the district. It
rises in the western slopes of the Zarghoon range near Urak, about 21 Km north east of
Quetta. It enters the Quetta valley near the Staff College and drains its northern parts. The
Hanna stream is joined by the Sora Khula and Ghundak Rud Nalla above Sheikmanda
village.

Climate

The climate of the district is generally dry. Fairly arid climate prevails in the Quetta valley.
The district is situated at an altitude of 1,700 meter. Therefore, the weather is extremely
dry. The winter is very cold and the minimum temperature ranges “between” -15 to -7
degree Celsius.

Summer is relatively mild and the maximum temperature ranges “between” 32 to 35


degree Celsius; July is generally the hottest month.

The district lies outside the range of the monsoon currents and the rain fall is scanty and
irregular. The average annual rainfall for Quetta city is 226 mm, whereas in the Hanna area,
the average is about 312mm. in the spring and summer seasons there is very little rainfall.
The heaviest rainfall and snowfall occurs in January and February.

The mean maximum and minimum temperature and the precipitation during various
months of the years, recorded at Samungli Quetta.

Annual Mean Rainfall

Section-5: Terms of Reference (ToRs)


47
RFP FOR QUETTA MASTER PLAN (DRAFT COPY)

According to the information supplied by the Meteorological Department, the total annual
mean rainfall during 1983-95 has been 308.2 mm, ranging from 143.2 mm, in the month of
June to 68.5 mm in the month of March.

Annual Mean Temperature

The average maximum annual temperature during 1983-95 has been 24.5 °C, ranging from
11.36 to 35.9 °C. The average minimum annual temperature has been 8.5 °C during the
above mentioned period ranging from-0.7 to 20.5 °C.

Soils

The soils of Quetta district may be described by four main units’ i.e. (1) piedmont plains
(very deep and well-drained soil) (2) piedmont basins (3) Salinity and alkalinity (4)
Gravelly piedmont fans and aprons bordering the mountains and loess plains. Each
physiographic unit is different in parent material.

The central part of the Quetta valley is covered by a soil that ranges from sandy loam to silt
loam. This type is soil is good for crop production. At the margin of the valley near foothills,
the soil consists of sandy loam, mixed with pebbles and rock fragments and is suitable for
vegetation.

In the Hanna valley, the greater part of the valley floor is covered by barren rock out crops
of low relief and dry mala bed, the soil is restricted to the narrow banks and low terraces
along the main stream. This type of soil is highly suitable for orchards. The soil of Panjpai
plain is alluvial and the skirts of the hills are stony which are suitable for crops but due to
scarcity of water, the area potential of agricultural production is not fully exploited.

However, the nature of soil in Baleli is silty clay which is not suitable for cultivation.
Similarly the Chiltan Surface has soils that are predominantly gravelly loams. The
vegetation on these soils is mainly Haloxylon which provide poor grazing for livestock. In
the Sra Khulla and Ghundak Rud valleys, there is hardly any soil cover; therefor it bears a
very thin and scattered growth of wild bushes and shrubs.

As for soil erosion, both stream erosion of soil and wind erosion are occurring in the
district. The stream erosion takes place in the piedmont plain along the banks and beds of

streams. Such streams are Sariab Lora. Hanna River and Habib Nalla near Hudda. The wind
erosion occurs in the valley
