Gujarati Science College, Indore (M.P.) Abstract: The present study was carried out to evaluate the water quality status of Anchar lake Kashmir whole year from January 2013 to December 2013. Anchar lake, an urban shallow basin lake with a maximum depth of 2.6 meters was getting modified as a result of cultural eutrophication due to anthropogenic pressure, siltation and the effluent released from Sheri-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS). The physico-chemical characteristics assessed at seven selected sites for pH, conductivity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen (DO), Total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, free CO2, sulphate, phosphate, iron, ammonical nitrogen, sodium and potassium. Result shows positive correlation among all the physico-chemical parameters except DO. The study reveals that site 7 near SKIMS was highly nutrient rich with respect to other sites. I. Introduction Water is the Universal solvent, abundant and useful component, without it life is impossible. These water bodies are not only important for water, but also for their ecological importance as they provide habitat to aquatic flora and fauna including different species of birds. They may also comprise an important component for sustainable tourism and recreation. -

Acknowledgement Lakes and Water bodies are one of the most important natural resources of our State. Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies. -
179 Reinterpreting Afghan Rule in Kashmir Dr. Aushaq Hussain Dar
The Communications Vol.27. No (01) ISSN: 0975-6558 Reinterpreting Afghan Rule in Kashmir Dr. Aushaq Hussain Dar Assistant Professor Govt. Degree College Pulwama Mr. Ali Mohammad Shah Sr. Assistant Professor GDC Pulwama Abstract: In 1753, Afghans established their political authority in Kashmir. Afhan rule has been painted with dark colours by a section of Pandit chroniclers. These Pandit chroniclers wrote in the beginning of Sikh rule and projected Afghans as religious fanatics and ruthless masters who persecuted Hindu community by subjecting them to heavy taxation and other humiliating practices. Sikh rule on the other hand was hailed as rule of deliverance by these chroniclers. This was done for the purpose of gaining sympathy of new establishment. True, Afghans were tough masters who ruthlessly exploited the people of Kashmir but we argue that Afghan governors in Kashmir were more guided by lust for power and tribal codes than their religion. Besides, Afghan state was not different than medieval imperial states which aimed at ruthless exploitation of peripheries and awarded exemplary punishments to rebels. The sufferings during the period under reference should be viewed as inclusive experience of all sections of society instead of a particular community. Key words: Afghan, Pandit, Kashmiri, Medieval, community Introduction: Punjab was invaded by Ahmad Shah Abdali third time in 1752. He defeated governor Muin-ul- Muluk, and spread terror over the whole of Northern India. At this time Kashmir was governed by Abdul Qasim Khan. He usurped the throne by displacing Mir Muqim Kanth. There upon disgruntled Kashmiri leaders, Mir Muqim Kanth and Khawaja Zahir u Din Didamiri sent their agents to Ahmad Shah Abdali and invited him to invade Kashmir. -

Floods in Jammu & Kashmir
A SATELLITE BASED RAPID ASSESSMENT ON FLOODS IN JAMMU & KASHMIR – SEPTEMBER, 2014 In Collaboration with National Remote Sensing Centre Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Remote Sensing Indian Space Research Organization, Government of Jammu and Kashmir Hyderabad-37. Bemina, Srinagar-10 A SATELLITE BASED RAPID ASSESSMENT ON FLOODS IN JAMMU & KASHMIR – SEPTEMBER, 2014 Principal Coordinator Suresh Chugh, IFS Principal Investigator Majid Farooq © Copyright No part of this publication/report may be reproduced without the prior permission of the publisher, i.e., Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Remote Sensing Government of Jammu and Kashmir Bemina, Srinagar-10 & National Remote Sensing Centre Indian Space Research Organization, Hyderabad-37. Executive Summary Jammu & Kashmir experienced one of the worst floods in the past 60 years, during first week of September 2014, due to unprecedented and intense rains. The Jhelum River and its tributaries were in spate and caused extensive flooding in the region. The Decision Support Centre (DSC) of NRSC in collaboration with Department of Environment & Remote Sensing, J&K took necessary action on satellite data acquisition and processing and kept a close watch on the flood situation. All possible data from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, as well as foreign satellites, covering Kashmir valley were obtained and analyzed. Rapid flood mapping and monitoring was done on almost daily basis and the flood inundation information was prepared. In addition, cumulative flood inundation, flood progression and recession maps were also prepared. Flood inundation simulation study was done using CARTO-DEM for Jhelum River to identify the possible flood affected areas and the same was uploaded on Bhuvan portal. -
Assessment of Physico-Chemical Parameters of Dal Lake, Srinagar Kashmir
International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS) ISSN: 2394-4404 Volume 3 Issue 11, October 2016 Assessment Of Physico-Chemical Parameters Of Dal Lake, Srinagar Kashmir Sajad Husssain Dar Asrar Amin Khan Tasleem Arif Shah Q. J. Shami Department of Zoology and Aquaculture, Barkatullah University, Bhopal M.P, India Abstract: Present survey has been carried out in Dal Lake Srinagar to determine its variation in physio-chemical parameters. Sampling was done on monthly basis with a gap of two month duration from10 January 2014 to 20 October 2015. Total number of physio-chemical parameters was restricted to 15 and its analysis was carried out in five basins. Each basin was divided into two sampling stations for monitoring purpose, so the number of sampling stations was 10. Anthropogenic activity, sewage and urbanization were main causative agents for the deteriorating quality of water which is the real essence of life and property. The present work highlights the deteriorating quality of water and provides “water quality index” in a simplified way for reference purpose and as a reliable picture of water quality. Few of the parameters were analyses at sampling sites immediately and rest of them were carries out in laboratory.results of all major parameters indicate that Dal Lake has become a biological sink for refuge, ions, slit and human interference. I. INTRODUCTION of time houseboats close to Dal began to provide accommodation to tourists in Srinagar, which ultimately, Ancient Sanskrit texts mentioned Dal Lake as Mahasar. become full flourished industry and an economical service in The Mughal rulers of India designated Srinagar as their Srinagar.
