PRF Report on Drought/Famine Affected Tharparkar @Mithi Pakistan Relief Foundation Report on Drought/Famine Affected Tharparkar @Mithi (Situation, actions taken and long term solutions) Let’s say something about Drought-affected Tharparkar@ Mithi District: This district of Sindh province is headquartered at its city namely Mithi. Tough wolrd’s sixth largest coal reserves are lying in the land of this district but it has the lowest Human Development Index among all districts of the province. The most of population of the area use to speak with each other in “Dhatki”, the local language since many decades. It is Indian bordering district. The district has four other talukas with over 2,000 villages spread across the largest desert region in the country. People can’t cultivate crops on their lands as there is desert everywhere. Tharparkar is a biggest desert of Sindh and Pakistan. Local population use to wait for monsoon rains which occur for their bread and butter. Assessed reasons of drought/famine: According to the assessment conducted by PRF’s team, Tharparkar @ Mithi district, which usually receives rainfall only during the monsoon season, witnessed scattered and delayed rains during monsoon-2013. The rain deficit in parts of district resulted in less-than-average agriculture production and shortage of fodder for livestock. The situation aggravated in the months October, November, and December with the outbreak of sheep pox and other diseases which affected more than 0.1 million livestock. Later, situation turned into severe phase and innocent children became the target of drought. Failures on the part of Sindh Government: It could be recalled easily that in August 2012, last provincial government (led by Pakistan People’s Party) had declared Tharparkar calamity-hit as they had assessed the situation of drought on time and they succeeded to to save the livestock and precious lives of local people. In 2013-14 case, the current Sindh government which is also of PPP, had not taken pre- drought steps to secure the people of Tharparkar @Mithi. When livestock started to die in from October 2013, the provincial government didn’t take notice of it. Later on, things became more serious in November, December-2013, January, February and March 2014, and when media pointed out the deaths of livestock along with innocent children than government opened their eyes. Earlier, there was no contingency plan prepared by the government. There has neither been any provincial emergency operation centre nor a provincial or district disaster management authority operational in the area. The provincial government along with all concerned departments particularly Relief, Food, Livestock, Health, and others should have plan and adopt drought-mitigation and risk-reduction strategies to avoid the huge losses coming out of the continuous drought in the area. PRF Relief and Rescue operation (Phase-I, March 1st to 8): PRF team reached at Tharparkar@Mithi to provide relief to the drought-affected people. Led by Founder Chairman Haleem Adil Sheikh, the team distributed more than 500 bags which contained mineral water, cerelec energy biscuits, milk, juices and toys. The team also provided health facilities to the affectees as PRF ambulance and doctors were part of team. The doctors visited many villages of area and provided checked up a big number of population while giving them medicines as well. PRF team reached at District hospital Mithi where patients were lying under open sky-ground without any medication due to scarcity of beds in the hospital. It was witnessed that there was no pediatrician available in the hospital, only medical officer was facing the emergency situation despite the fact that media and government both had highlighted the emergency. PRF Relief and Rescue operation (Phase-II, March 13 to 17): On March 13: The PRF team led by Mr. Haleem Adil Sheikh had distributed food, water, life saving drugs during the visit of following villages. Village Kath Mori Village Mustafa Lund Union Council Batharo Village Saeen Asar Village Jagarthar The team visited Kalhoe city and local hospital which was over-crowded by the drought- affected patients. It was found, during the visit that hospital lacks child specialist and essential medicines. PRF volunteer doctors established medical camp on the spot in the ambulance and provided essential medicines to the helpless patients. On March 14th, PRF team visited various areas of taluka Chhachhro and distributed relief goods. The team including young saviors distributed food, mineral water and medicines in following villages. Village Thaklo Village Veejar Village Peerano par Village Chachi Dhoni Village Mehro Village Mangchi On March 15, PRF team visited Tharparkar, Mithi, Islamkot, Nangarparkar, Deeplo, Chhachhro and other drought-affected villages. The team distributed relief goods to the famine victims and provided medical assistance to the available patients. PRF activities, Phase-III (March 24): The team conducted relief activities in drought affected areas of District Umerkot and Tharparkar @ Mithi including Union Councils Khokhrapar and Khiplo. PRF team distributed food supplement packages to the admitted infants in the hospital along in following villages. Village Batharo Village Salyaro Village Mandharo village Garnijodar Village Amrarh Village Dokar Village Shor. During the visits, PRF Chairman Mr. Haleem Adil Shaikh met with the people and inquired them about the problems. The team provided medical facilities to the people at their door step. During three phases of relief, PRF had distributed 4200 ration bags, 8128 water coolers, 4630 NFIs, 6080 bottles of mineral water (5 liter), 1500 Nutrition packs, 150 infants shifted to hospitals through PRF’s ambulance, 2820 patients were treated and had been provided medicines by the team of Doctors. Assessment: 1. The current crises is essentially man made as a result of bad Governance, cronyism and corruption. 2. Government is trying to hide facts and fudge figures to deflect public and Media pressure. 3. Government relief activities are confined to Circuit House of Mithi for projection of VVIP visits. 4. Government failed to develop a seamless relief distribution system in the effected districts. 5. Medical facilities are inadequate and children are still facing deaths and so far more than 175 children have been died. Needs: Food Items (high-energy biscuits, mineral water, pulses, etc) Mosquito Nets Essential medicines including clean delivery kits Fodder and vaccination of livestock Final recommendations: 1-Government should chalk out plan for the permanent sources of income of local people 2-Youth of the area would be given priority in Prime Minister’s youth loan scheme 3-Concenred officials of Revenue, Relief, Food, Health and Livestock would be published for this historical tragedy of Tharparkar 4-Special Task Force on Drought in Sindh consisting of experts, civil society representatives and Government officials should be constituted 5- The relief being provided to the effected people should be depoliticized 6-VVIP visits to the affected areas should be minimized to avoid disturbing the relief Operations 7- Food security should be provided to the people 8-Children are malnourished therefore nutrition supplement should be provided 9-State-run- hospitals should be made well-equipped along with all kind of medicine, doctors and ambulances 10- Arrangements should be made for clean drinking water as top priority.

(2016) ISSN: 2413-9947 Assimilation and incidental differences in Sindhi language Ahdi Hassan Pakistan Languages Corpora, Islamabad, Pakistan [email protected], Abstract This research paper is an attempt to describe assimilation and incidental differences in the Sindhi language. The purpose of this study is to offer a comparative study of two dialects of the Sindhi language Vicholi and Siroli. The project examined different aspects of Sindhi phonology, as well as some features of Sindhi syntax and morphology. Although studies conducted on the Sindhi phonology are briefly described, there is still a need to analyze it further. The sample for the study is taken from ten Vicholi participants and ten Siroli participants of these two different dialects of the Sindhi language. The pronunciation of sample words was recorded first, then transcribed phonetically and then, finally analyzed. These dialects were compared to find out similarities and differences in them. This paper examines assimilation and incidental differences which are very common observable occurrences and cross linguistic features. Two main questions were posed. How can patterns of assimilation be different from one another? Is it happening all the time to come up analysis with unified patterns of assimilation? This work is based on fieldwork in region Shikarpur and Khairpur; The data collected by making recordings with different background of social such as professionals advice , different age, unpremeditated of storytelling and speech , storytelling. The results show very clear distinctions and dissimilarities among the speakers of these two different dialects of Sindhi language in Pakistan. Keywords: Sindhi, Siroli, Vicholi , assimilation, incidental differences Introduction Sindhi language belongs to an Indo-Aryan family of languages with its root in the River Indus Valley (Minahan, 2012).

  • Tharparkar District Lies in the South-Eastern Part of Sindh Province of Pakistan
    Grassroots, Vol.52, No.I January-June 2018 THAR COAL PROJECT AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION CAPACITY Dr Zahid H. Channa Dr Erum Khushnood Zahid Shaikh Dr Muneer-ud-Din Soomro ABSTRACT Thar coal field area is spread 9100 square Kilometers in Thar Desert area of District Tharparkar Sindh province of Pakistan. The desert area is totally different area of Pakistan due to very limited income generating opportunities, food insecurity, scant water resources, lack of health facilities and low literacy rate. However economic activities depend on the monsoon rain and the major source of income is livestock rearing and agriculture. Hence, a substantial number of people are seasonally migrated in search of food and fodder. The discovery of Coal in 1988 is highlighted at national and international level as a sixth largest lignite coal reserves in the World. For the purpose of coal extraction, Government of Sindh and Pakistan initiated Thar coal projects without local consent of indigenous people of Thar coal field area and such act has a negative impact on the development process. This research paper is to find out the local consent in the shape of community participation in the Thar Coal Development project. The Study reveals that community awareness and participation is recorded at the lowest level whereas complete negligence of females and just 3% male participated. Moreover, the major source of information is media, rumors and NGOs. ____________________ Keywords: Assessment, Awareness, Community Participation, Consultation, Environment, Stakeholders INTRODUCTION Tharparkar district lies in the south-eastern part of Sindh province of Pakistan. Its population 1,649,661 souls (Census Report of Pakistan, 2017) spread over 19838 square kilometers.
