  • Status of the Indus River Dolphin Platanista Minor
    ORYX VOL 32 NO 1 JANUARY 1998 Status of the Indus River dolphin Platanista minor Randall R. Reeves and Abdul Aleem Chaudhry The endemic freshwater dolphins in the Indus River system of Pakistan, Platanista minor, have been considered endangered since the early 1970s. Measures taken to protect them from deliberate capture seem to have stopped a rapid decline, and combined counts in Sindh and Punjab provinces since the early 1980s suggest a total population of at least a few hundred animals. Severe problems remain, however. In addition to the risks inherent to any species with an effective population size in the low hundreds (at most), these dolphins are subject to long-term threats associated with living in an artificially controlled waterway used intensively by humans. Irrigation barrages partition the aggregate population into discrete subpopulations for much of the year. Dolphins that 'escape' during the flood season into irrigation canals or into reaches downstream of barrages where winter water levels are low have little chance of survival. A few dolphins probably die each year after being caught in fishing nets. Pollution by untreated urban sewage, agricultural runoff and industrial effluent threatens the health of the entire Indus system. The future of this dolphin species depends on Pakistan's commitment to protecting biological diversity in the face of escalating human demands on dwindling resources. Introduction In the early 1970s, G. Pilleri and his co- workers called world attention to the fact that The Indus River dolphin Platanista minor, Indus dolphins were declining rapidly (Pilleri known locally as bhulan, is endemic to the and Zbinden, 1973-74; Pilleri, 1980).

  • 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.

Today's Combined Lived Storage capacity of Tarbela, Chashma & Mangla reservoirs is 11.424 MAF i.e. 83.49% of the existing Combined Live Storage capacity of 13.683 MAF. The Dam Operating Authorities based on the advice of Office of CEA/ CFFC are exercising utmost care and are vigilance in reservoir operation are strictly following SOPs & associated dam safety guidelines. Weather & Rainfall/Flood Forecast: Yesterday’s trough of Westerly Wave over Kashmir and adjoining areas has moved away Eastwards. Weak Seasonal Low lies over Northern Balochistan. Yesterday’s Monsoon Low over Eastern Jharkhand (India) has moved West-Northwestwards and today lies over Northern Jharkhand (India) and adjoining Eastern Utter Pradesh (India) and is likely to become insignificant for Pakistan.

  • Hydrological and Ichthyological Impact Assessment of Rasul Barrage, River Jhelum, Pakistan
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 26, No. 1 (2017), 107-114 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/63877 Original Research Hydrological and Ichthyological Impact Assessment of Rasul Barrage, River Jhelum, Pakistan Hafiza Hira Iqbal1, Naeem Shahid2, Abdul Qadir1*, Sajid Rashid Ahmad1, Saba Sarwar1, Muhammad Rizwan Ashraf3, Hafiz Muhammad Arshad4, Nasir Masood2 1College of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan 2Department of Environmental Sciences, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, 61100 Vehari, Pakistan 3University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Sub-campus Burewala-Vehari, Seed Farm Road, 61100 Vehari, Pakistan 4Department of Management Sciences, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Sahiwal, Pakistan Received: 28 May 2016 Accepted: 25 June 2016 Abstract Over the years surface water quality of Pakistani rivers has been degraded. The current study aims to investigate the water quality and fish diversity at Rasul Barrage in the Jhelum River. A total of six sampling sites were assessed for pollution levels and fish fauna of the Barrage. Physicochemical parameters such as turbidity, biological oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were deviating from the permissible limits of fresh water set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), but meeting the criteria of NEQS, whereas pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), sodium, and chloride were below the permissible limits of NEQS, but the TSS level was above EPA standards. However, the concentrations of metals such as iron (2.62-3.98 mg L-1), chromium (0.03-0.59 mg L-1), and nickel (0.49-1.71 mg L-1) were higher than the permissible limits for drinking and irrigation waters.
