ESIA of Block VI Lignite Mining Project
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Block VI Lignite Mining Project Volume 3 of 3 (Appendices I to M) Sindh Carbon Energy Limited R3E03TCO April 2013 Hagler Bailly Pakistan Wardell Armstrong International Ltd. ESIA of Block VI Lignite Mining Project Appendix I: Socioeconomic Baseline and Transport Basline I.1 Introduction The part of the southwestern desert area of Pakistan which is commonly known as the Thar Desert stretches for about 200 km from north to south and has a width of 200 km at its widest point (at the southern end) and about 80 km at its narrowest point (near the northern end). The ground elevation generally increases from south, where it is close to the sea level, to north where it is nearly 100 m; and from west to east. The dominant feature of this vast expanse of land is the sand dunes aligned in the northeast-southwest direction. However, the area is not uniform as both the size and frequency of the sand dunes vary across Thar Desert. The sand dunes, or bhits as they are locally called, are generally more frequent in the north than in the south. However, they appear to be relatively smaller in the east than in the west. Similarly, the size of the hills is generally smaller in the north than in the south. The largest of the sand dunes appear to be concentrated in the southwestern part of Thar Desert where some dunes rise to a height of almost 150 m from the base of the dune. Many of the sand dunes gradually shift. -

The world economic tycoon such as USA, China, Japan, almost all the European countries and many others are at the verge of collapse. Besides Stock Markets around the world pounded as well as oil prices have also been fallen. The same situation is being faced by Pakistan including port city Karachi. Resultantly, the revenue collection of KMC has been hampered dreadfully due to spread of COVID-19 as well as lockdown. Therefore the exchequer of metropolis is shrinking to meager balance in the KMC’s accounts. During the current financial 2019-2020, no any improvement whatsoever is made in the financial health of KMC. Similarly the Government of Sindh has continued the same fiscal policy as adopted after 2016 resultantly all functions of KMC are hindered due to short releases on account of OZT Share and Grant-in Aid. The budget documents of any organization portray the picture of its fiscal policy as well as its historical, accounting, financial and planning. -

Compendium on Environment Statistics of Pakistan - 2004
Compendium on Environment Statistics of Pakistan - 2004 Federal Bureau of Statistics Government of Pakistan i Foreword As an inescapable concomitant with the traditional route of development, Pakistan has been facing natural resource degradation and pollution problems. The unsavory spectacle of air pollution, water contamination and other macro environmental impacts such as water logging, land degradation and desertification, are on rise. All this, in conjunction with rapid growth in population, has been instrumental to the expanding tentacles of poverty. In order to make an assessment of the environmental problems as a prelude to arrest the pace of degeneration and, provide for sustainable course of economic development, the availability of adequate data is imperative. This publication is an attempt to provide relevant statistics compiled through secondary sources. The 1st Compendium was prepared in 1998 under the Technical Assistance of Asian Development Bank in accordance with, as far as possible, the guidelines of “United Nations Framework for Development of Environment Statistics (FDES)”. This up-dating has been made without any project facilitation. Notwithstanding exclusive reliance on mail inquiry, all possible efforts have been made to collect available data and, quite a few new tables on quality of water, concentration of dust fall in big cities and, state of air quality in urban centers of Punjab, have also been included in the compendium. However, some tables included in the predecessor of this publication could not be up-dated due either to their being single time activity or the source agencies did not have the pertinent data. The same have been listed at appendix-IV to refer compendium-1998 for the requisite historical data. -

Counsel for KMC, Advocate Sameer Gazanfar, argued that the land for the restaurant was acquired at Bagh Ibne Qasim in 1999 and instead of taking up the issue of regularisation with the KMC, a case was filed in the court. Ghazanfar further said that the Supreme Court (SC) had placed a ban on commercial use of parks. A divisional bench comprising Justice Junaid Ghaffar and Justice Yousuf Ali Syed rejected the contempt of court plea against KMC and also dismissed the plea for stay against the demolition. Plea against Alvi The SHC ordered the petitioner to produce record of the plea he had filed against the election of Dr Arif Alvi as President of Pakistan by January 21. A two-member bench comprising Justice Iqbal Kalhoro and Justice Shamsuddin Abbasi heard the case. Petitioner, Azmat Rehan, argued that Dr Alvi was involved in tampering the court‘s record. He claimed that the current SHC chief justice had also issued orders against him. -
Parks and Trees URC
Parks And Trees URC PARKS & TREES 1 Parks And Trees URC Sindh govt directed to assess use of recycled water in parks The Supreme Court-mandated Commission on Water and Sanitation has directed the Sindh government to look into the feasibility of converting sewerage into grey water for use in public parks. The commission after a hearing in Karachi on Monday, asked the government to take cue from the Fateh Park in district Central in this regard. Justice (retd) Amir Hani Muslim, the commission‟s chairperson, said he visited Fateh Park on the request of Central District Municipal Corporation (DMC) Chairperson Rehan Hashmi on January 12 to see how grey water is being used under a „green initiative‟ scheme by a local society. The commission observed that not just the park but also the vicinity is benefiting from the scheme‟s grey water which can be used for any purpose other than human consumption. Hashmi informed the commission that he has planned to apply the scheme in other parks in the Central DMC. “Such schemes can make huge difference if introduced in larger parks like Karachi Zoo, Bagh-e-Jinnah, Bagh-e-Ibn-e-Qasim, Benazir park and Sarfari park,” noted Justice (retd) Muslim, adding that the pressure on filtered potable water will also be released this way. He said grey water can be used for gardening and maintenance of green patches as well and that the process will also consequently reduce the discharge of sewage in the sea. He directed Sindh local government secretary to hold meetings with stakeholders in Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, the DMCs and Karachi Development Authority over the issue. -
