The subreddit for the people of Quetta Division, Balochistan and all who are interested in the region

Quetta is a division in northern Balochistan, Pakistan with an area covering approximately 15,000 square kilometers and a population of over 3.75 million. While Quetta is Balochistan's smallest division by area, it has the highest population, and it is known for hosting Balochistan's largest city and capital, Quetta. Its largest cities are the aforementioned Quetta (pop. 1,001,205 in 2017), Chaman (pop. 123,191 in 2017), Khanozai (pop. 40,238 in 2017), Saranan (pop. 37,927 in 2017), and Pishin (pop. 35,577 in 2017).

Quetta Division covers the districts of:

  • Pishin

  • Qilla Abdullah

  • Quetta

The division is predominantly inhabited by Pashtuns, and Pashto is the most commonly spoken native language in Quetta Division, with 63.95% of the population of Quetta Division speaking Pashto natively in 1998. The languages of Balochi and Brahui also both are widely known, with 14.43% of the division speaking either Balochi or Brahui natively in 1998. Another 8.32% of the population of the division natively spoke Punjabi in 1998, and the Hazara people who speak Hazaragi also have a significant presence in the division. While over 90% of the populations of both Pishin and Qilla Abdullah Districts spoke Pashto in 1998, Quetta District was very diverse, and in 1998, it was one of only two districts in Balochistan to not have a majority ethnicity or language.

So I am looking for a new car

So I don't have much of an idea about cars, I just like to drive the car I have but now there is a need for me to buy a new one. There are so many options with each of them having their own pros and cons. I am so confused. My preferences are automatic and smaller cars like Swift qnd Vitz which I drive these days. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello, Pakistani redditors, I am come to with a request.

As you that child abuse is something that affects many individuals and in our country parental awareness is one of the biggest tools we have in combating this problem. This is why I have decided to research on the topic.

  2. If you know people with children/ child under the age of 18, please forward my message (present in the comment section) to them.

If you have any ideas on how I can get more responses or any other thing that you want to communicate to me about please feel free to comment or DM me.

Thank you.
