    In Its Meeting Held on 10Th June 2020 Approved Block Allocation of Rs

    PREFACE PREFACE The National Economic Council (NEC) in its meeting held on 10th June 2020 approved Block Allocation of Rs. 15000 million in the Federal PSDP for Annual Development Program (ADP) of Gilgit-Baltistan for the year 2020-21. The Federal Government has kept GB share unchanged from the previous Financial Year, including Foreign Aid Component of Rs. 2000 million, despite the fact that the country has been ravaged by the outbreak of COVID- 19. The Foreign Aid Component has been provided for the Economic Transformation Initiative (ETI) in Gilgit-Baltistan. The ADP 2020-21 has been formulated with a vision to provide better facilities of life including access to energy, sanitation, basic health care, education, communication, and sustainable livelihood to the people of the region. Major intervention areas include essential health care services, new facilities for Covid-19 patients, roads and bridges across remote valleys, water supply and sanitation schemes, IT based learning projects, and generation and distribution projects in power sector. The Covid-19 crisis is the most serious crisis in our living memory hitting world economy, public health, tourism, and almost all facets of our public life. GB government has allocated substantial resources in ADP 2020-21 to tackle this crisis. We are also grateful to the federal government which has promised matching grant for all Covid related development expenditure. FY 2019-20 remained another successful year in the development history of Gilgit-Baltistan, as GB Government has been ahead of other provinces as far as utilization of the development funds are concerned. For the last five consecutive years, the GB Government has been achieving 100% utilization of development funds and we hope to achieve this goal in the current year too.

After the death of Al-Mustansar Bi’llah, the caliph of Egypt, his descendants for four generations from Sultan Yasin to Shah Muzammil remained in Egypt. But Shah Muzammil’s son Sultan Ahmad II left the country between l366-70 in the reign of Abu al- Fath Mumtadid Bi’llah Abu Bakr, the sixth ‘Abbasid caliph of Egypt, 1 and came to Sind. 2 He was succeeded by his son, Abu Nasir, followed by Abu Qahir 3 and Amir Muhammad Channi. Channi was a very competent person. When Prince Murad Bakhsh, son of the Mughal emperor Akbar, came to Multan, 4 he appreciated his services, and awarded him the mansab of “Panj Hazari”5 and bestowed on him a large jagir . Channi was survived by his two sons, Muhammad Mahdi and Da’ud Khan.

Willson 1 Burushaski verb agreement and case marking phenomena are complex and have not been described adequately by any current theory ofsyntax. In particular, no explanation has yet been given as to why a variety of nominals can trigger agreement in the verbal prefix. In some cases the apparent subject triggers this agreement, in others the direct object appears to do so, in others the indirect object, in others the possessor of the direct object, in others a benefactive or source nominal. Also, the constraints on the usage of ergative, absolutive and oblique case, and other indicators ofgrammatical relations on nominals, have been insufficiently characterized in the literature on Burushaski.

    Accession of the States Had Been the Big Issue After the Division of Subcontinent Into Two Major Countries

    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No.I (January-June 2016) An Historical Overview of the Accession of Princely States Attiya Khanam The Women University, Multan Abstract The paper presents the historical overview of the accession of princely states. The British ruled India with two administrative systems, the princely states and British provinces. The states were ruled by native rulers who had entered into treaty with the British government. With the fall of Paramountacy, the states had to confirm their accession to one Constituent Assembly or the other. The paper discusses the position of states at the time of independence and unfolds the British, congress and Muslim league policies towards the accession of princely states. It further discloses the evil plans and scheming of British to save the congress interests as it considered the proposal of the cabinet Mission 1946 as ‘balkanisation of India’. Congress was deadly against the proposal of allowing states to opt for independence following the lapse of paramountancy. Congress adopted very aggressive policy and threatened the states for accession. Muslim league did not interfere with the internal affair of any sate and remained neutral. It respected the right of the states to decide their own future by their own choice. The paper documents the policies of these main parties and unveils the hidden motives of main actors. It also provides the historical and political details of those states acceded to Pakistan. 84 Attiya Khanam Key Words: Transfer of Power 1947, Accession of State to Pakistan, Partition of India, Princely States Introduction Accession of the states had been the big issue after the division of subcontinent into two major countries.

The gravity field acts as a In addition to the SFD survey in Kharan Forearc Basin, ® carrier of stress induced energies that are the contributors SFD data was also acquired for templating purpose over to the gravitational field potential. Unlike traditional some of the producing oil and gas fields in the Suleiman ® gravity measurement methods, the SFD ® sensor can Ranges and Middle Indus Basin of Pakistan. The SFD dynamically (integration of signal over time) and results over these fields provided a calibration point for ® selectively (through resonance) interact with the gravity SFD data as well as demonstrating the technology’s field and, as a result, is able to detect perturbations validity. These examples have further demonstrated that associated with trapped fluids (oil, gas and/or water) in the technology is applicable and conveniently applied for subsurface.” various structural/stratigraphic settings and field sizes.
