  • Pir Panjal Regional Festival Integrating the Isolated Border Districts in J&K & Building Peace from Below*
    No 142 IPCS ISSUE BRIEF No 142 APRIL 2010 APRIL 2010 Building Peace & Countering Radicalization Pir Panjal Regional Festival Integrating the Isolated Border Districts in J&K & Building Peace from Below* D. Suba Chandran Deputy Director, IPCS, New Delhi This essay focus on two districts in the Jammu sub region of J&K—Rajouri and Poonch, along the Pir Panjal range of the outer Himalayas. The primary objective is to highlight the conflict transformation (both positive and negative) in this region during the recent years; to explore the opportunities of an Pir Panjal festival bringing the various communities together and build peace from below; integrate the border districts with the national mainstream; and improve the physical and psychological connectivity of the Pir Panjal region with the rest and remove the feeling of physical isolation. Idea of using a festival to promote tourism in J&K is not a new one; those who have witnessed the Ladakh festival, in all its colorful glory and culturally rich historical past, would agree how it has brought the region, its people and culture to the limelight. Of course, there are other places – from Dal lake to Gulmarg and from Bhaderwah to Basohli, which can easily boast the same – in terms of their rich culture, colorful people and beautiful places. The irony of J&K, however has been - there are numerous such regions in J&K, unfortunately remaining in the periphery, physically isolated and psychologically looking inward. Ladakh festival, now celebrated during August every year, attracts global attention and tourists who visit the land of moon, as it is popularly referred, to enjoy the culture, people and places.

Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.

  • War in the Western Theatre
    SCHOLAR WARRIOR War in the Western Theatre DHruv C KatocH Introduction On 3 December 1971, at about 1730h, the Pakistan Air Force crossed Indian air space and launched a series of air attacks on Indian airfields at Amritsar, Awantipur, Faridkot, Pathankot and Srinagar. These attacks did little in terms of inflicting serious damage on Indian Air Force capabilities, but with these attacks, Pakistan had started the war against India. It was Pakistan’s strategy to launch an offensive in the West, should India invade the East Wing. The Pakistani plan had two ingredients. First, formations other than those in reserve were to launch limited offensives. Second, a major counter offensive was to be launched concurrently into India. The plan was altered by Yahya Khan, who ordered that the counter offensive should take place after local operations had secured ground. This change ostensibly was made due to shortage of equipment and the deployment of a large part of the army in its East Wing. The Indian strategy had its war aims focused on the East. Strategic defence was to be maintained in the West and a counter offensive would only be launched after Pakistan initiated hostilities. This served the larger strategic purpose of ensuring that India was not accused of aggression which could have had a negative effect on its operations in the East Wing. The initiative in the West thus lay in the hands of the Pakistan military. Force Levels Pakistan In the West, Pakistan had three corps and three infantry divisions commanded directly by General Head Quarter (GHQ). The orbat was as under: l GHQ SCHOLAR WARRIOR ä SPRING 2012 ä vii SCHOLAR WARRIOR m 12 Infantry Division.

Allama Iqbal Open University is the unique in Pakistan which provides education to all citizens; without any discrimination of age, gender, ethnicity, region or religion. It is no doubt that our beloved country had been facing numerous issues since its creation. The initial days were very tough for the newly state but with the blessings of Allah Almighty, it made progress day by day. However, due to conspiracy of external powers and some weaknesses of our leaders, the internal situation of East Pakistan rapidly changed and the end was painful as we lost not only the land but also our Bengali brothers. After the war of 1971, the people and leaders of Pakistan were forced to rethink the future of the remaining country.

    Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) Draft Pakistan Hydro-Meteorological and DRM Services Project Pakistan Meteorological Department National Disaster Management Authority Pakistan Hydro-Meteorological and DRM Services Project Executive Summary Background Climate change is expected to have an adverse impact on Pakistan, as it ranks 7th on the climate risk index. It continues to be one of the most flood-prone countries in the South Asia Region (SAR); suffering US$18 billion in losses between 2005 and 2014 (US$10.5 billion from the 2010 floods alone), equivalent to around 6% of the federal budget. Hydromet hazards have been coupled with rapid population growth and uncontrolled urbanization, leading to a disproportionate and growing impact on the poor. To build on recent development gains, increase economic productivity, and improve climate resilience, it will be critical to improve the quality and accessibility of weather, water, and climate information services. Climate-resilient development requires stronger institutions and a higher level of observation, forecasting, and service delivery capacity; these could make a significant contribution to safety, security, and economic well-being. The Pakistan Hydro- Meteorological and DRM Services Project (PHDSP) expects to improve hydro- meteorological information and services, strengthen forecasting and early warning systems, and improve dissemination of meteorological and hydrological forecasts, warnings and advisory information to stakeholders and end-users and strengthen the existing disaster risk management (DRM) capacity and services of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). Project Description The project has three main components and will be implemented over a period of five years. Component 1: Hydro-Meteorological and Climate Services The objective of this component is to improve the capability and thereby performance of the PMD to understand and make use of meteorological and hydrological information for decision making.

Ort, Datum Unterschrift (Naeem Saddique) II Abstract Climate change and land use transition are the main drivers of watershed hydrological processes. The main objective of this study was to assess the hydrometeorological responses to climate and land use changes in the Jhelum River Basin (JRB), Pakistan. The development of proper climate information is a challenging task. To date, Global Climate Models (GCMs) are used for climate projections. However, these models have a coarse spatial resolution, which is not suitable for regional/local impact studies such as water resources management in the JRB. Therefore, different downscaling methods and techniques have been developed as means of bridging the gap between the coarse resolution global models projection and the spatial resolution required for hydrological impact studies. Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM) and Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS-WG) are selected in this study for downscaling of temperature and precipitation.

A total of 197 bands were generated by 16 RAPD primers with 87.73% polymorphic and 43.75% unique bands. Swat River’s population exhibited the highest level of polymorphism and held the highest genetic diversity (73%) followed by population of Mangla reservoir (57%), River Indus (54.31%), River Jhelum (44.67%), River Poonch (37.06%) and River Hingol (2.03%). Heterogeneity (Ht, 0.19), genetic diversity within population (Hs, 0.13), between populations (Dst, 0.05) and genetic differentiation constant (Gst, 0.022) were low. Gene flow between populations (3.22) was high. Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) ascribed higher variability (79%) within population factors. UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei’s genetic similarities and distances separated two main clusters of populations; cluster one subdivided into two; 1) were identified the populations of Poonch River, Jhelum River and Mangla Reservoir, and 2) swat River and Indus River.
