ABSTRACT Kashmir valley which is functionally a city-centered region, for the geographical, historical, socio-economic forces of urbanization have shaped and contributed to the emergence of urban primacy of Srinagar city. Being the single largest city, Srinagar constitutes around two-third of the state's urban population. The socio-cultural artifacts of Srinagar city is the accretion of a long period of time as over a period of six hundred years or so, the city has cradled itself between the hills of Hariparbat (Hawal) and Shankaracharya (Dalgate) along the banks of the river Jhelum. The present city thus stands as a mirror to reflect the complex historical background of the various stages which it has passed through. Srinagar City has grown enormously in the last twenty years. Apropos to this, the present study tries to analyse and examine the spatial, socio- economic, historical and related characteristics of the Srinagar metropolis- the Heart of Valley. The authors suggested some revival measures for better urban management of the historic Srinagar city.

  • Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Glacial Lakes (1990-2018) in the Kashmir Himalayas, India Using Remote Sensing and GIS
    Spatiotemporal dynamics of glacial lakes (1990-2018) in the Kashmir Himalayas, India using remote sensing and GIS Rayees Ahmed University of Kashmir Gowhar Farooq Wani University of Kashmir Syed Towseef Ahmed University of Kashmir Riyaz Ahmad Mir Geological Survey of India, UT: Jammu and Kashmir Mansour Almazroui King Abdulaziz University Sanjay Kumar Jain National Institute of Hydrology Pervez Ahmed ( [email protected] ) University of Kashmir Research Article Keywords: Climate change, Glacial lake expansion, Remote sensing, Landsat imageries, GLOFs, Kashmir Himalaya, India Posted Date: August 3rd, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-778167/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/14 Abstract This study is perhaps the rst attempt to use satellite data (1990–2018) to analyze spatiotemporal changes in glacial lakes over the Kashmir Himalayas supplemented by eld studies. Landsat images were used to delineate the spatial extent of glacial lakes at four time points, i.e., 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2018. The total count of lakes as well as their spatial extent showed a discernible increase. The number increased from 253 in 1990 to 322 in 2018, with a growth rate of 21.4%. The area has increased from 18.84 Km2 in 1990 to 22.11 Km2 in 2018 with a growth rate of 14.7 percent. The newly formed glacial lakes, including supra glacial lakes, were greater in number than the lakes that disappeared over the study period. All glacial lakes are situated at elevations of 2700 m asl and 4500 m asl.

  • Abode of Goddess Sharda
    Abode of Goddess Sharda At Shardi I – Mother’s Grace {Mahima}, Sharda Mahatmaya And Grandeur - Brigadier Rattan Kaul {I dedicate this effort to Grace {Mahima} of Goddess Sharda for the benefit of my and Gen-X, who may not know much about Goddess Sharda and her implied benevolence to our Sharda Desh. This article is also a gift to Gen-X, like Naveen, who know more of our religion, culture and heritage than men of their age. Along with era scholars and personalities associated with Sharda Temple during various century’s, I have given brief details about them to make it more informative. Each part is self explanatory with notes to avoid reference to previous part.…Rattan} Mahima {Grace} Of Mother Sharda. As a young boy I got used to hear folk tales of Sone Kisli and other tales from Granny Zapar Ded, but what interested me was her narration of travelogue of Pandit Bhawani Kaul of 18th Century {Descendant of Pandit Narain Kaul; who wrote History of Kashmir during Akbar’s time}. His travels through dense forests in quest of spiritual and literary enlightenment kept me, an eight-year-old, gazing at her next lip movement, however, it was Bhawani Kaul’s challenging pilgrimage to Gangabal and Sharda Temple which impressed me most. At Matamal uncle would hold court at his Rehbab Sahib residence and amongst various discourses, Pandit Harjoo Fehrist’s {Mid 19th Century; social reformer and staunch Vedhist} visits to Sharda Temple, till he lost his life at the temple, held us spell bound. Those days Goddess Sharda meant a lot to me, in my quest to do well in studies.

  • Master Plan for Ganderbal
    Draft MASTER PLAN FOR GANDERBAL -2032 Master Plan January 2013 FEEDBACK INFRA PRIVATE LIMITED & B E CONSULTANT TOWN PLANNING ORGANISATION, KASHMIR Government of Jammu and Kashmir Ganderbal Master Plan - 2032 Preface Cities have become concentrates of intelligence and demand large investments for their development. Large resources are spent on the development of various urban settlements but the condition of these towns continues to deteriorate because of piecemeal nature of expenditure and lack of definitive development schemes. Adhoc efforts neither result in better environment nor strengthen the economic base. In view of this, Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir has undertaken the preparation of the Master Plans for various towns, which envisages all encompassing development of these towns. Master Plans are expected to give impetus to the development and economic potential of the towns. In the first phase, the Master Plans of district headquarters have been taken up which will be followed up by Master Plans of other small and medium towns. The Government has also decided to outsource few Master Plans; however, the Master Plan for Ganderbal, which is on the threshold of becoming Class I town, has been outsourced to M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon. The Master Plan-Ganderbal (2012-32) is the first planning effort in Kashmir region that has been outsourced to any private consultant by Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir. The studies involved in the preparation of Master Plan for Ganderbal (2012-32) concerns with the areas crucial to planning and development of the region. It has been a great privilege for M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon to undertake the assignment of formulating the Master Plan of Ganderbal (2012-32).
