The present environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) study of the Promoting Girls Education in Balochistan (PGEB) project has been carried out in compliance with the national environmental laws of Pakistan and the World Bank Operational Policies (OPs). The ESIA delineates the environmental and social issues emerging from the PGEB project, identifies the potentially adverse environmental and social impacts of the project activities, and suggests appropriate mitigation measures to offset or reduce these impacts. The report also suggests guidelines for environmental enhancement opportunities available during various phases of project implementation to maximize the benefit to environment. The mitigation measures and guidelines have been organized in the form of an environmental and social management plan (ESMP) to be implemented by the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the PGEB project for avoiding or mitigating the significant environment and social impacts. 2. The scope of the study entails assessment of the environmental and social impacts of PGEB project activities in the selected 12 districts of the province including Kachhi, Loralai, Jhal Magsi, Khuzdar, Kalat, Lasbela, Jaferabad, Kech, Panjgur, Kila Saifullah, Pishin and Naseerabad districts. The project area spreads over from north to south of the province covering almost 138,011 square kilometers (40%) area of the province. The environmental and social assessment covers physical, biological and social impacts of project activities during various implementation stages from site selection and designing to construction and operational phase of the school buildings.

  • Pak-Afghan Borderland Interaction: Alone Together
    91 PAK-AFGHAN BORDERLAND INTERACTION: ALONE TOGETHER Dr. Mansoor Akbar Kundi* Abstract Balochistan at forefront covers 1468 kilometers long border with Afghanistan across which the two leading ethnic groups: Baloch and Pathan dwell and interact. Balochistan neighbors four provinces of Afghanistan: Helmand, Kandahar, Nimroz and Zabul. The borderland interactions are driven by socio-cultural, economic, commercial (legal/illegal) and narcotic factors. The interaction includes day to day petty activities by tribesmen to support bread and butter for families in non-irrigated far-flung areas of both countries. The border is still a soft one with being interdependent and integrated. The tribes across are dependent and needful on one another's support. Keywords: Borderland, Interaction, Socio-cultural, Interdependent, Ethnicity, Nation State. Introduction orders are of different kinds. They emerged with rise of civilizations with a Bvariety of reasons, either as a superficial contact or intimate relations, to unite or divide with their existence as barriers to movement can simultaneously create reasons to cross them.1 Borders stand irrespective of geographical, ethnic and zonal considerations and differ in their ways of life. Nevertheless, due to cross-border interaction and across relationship, borderlands are special and unique areas. With the fall of empires into nation-states, borders and across interactions expanded: to refugee, to work, to trade, to migrate or then to travel. Balochistan being the largest province of Pakistan, parts Afghanistan with a 1640 km long border. Serving as a regular international traffic road link for trade and transaction to Pakistani borders town (largely to Chaman), it can be considered as an inter-reliant and coexistent border2 sharing cross-border interface between the two sides.

The factory owners also failed to give undertaking and did not appear in personal hearings before the Sepa DG,” Hyderabad Sepa regional head Muneer Ahmed Abbasi told Dawn. He said the seven units were continuously engaged in violation of Sepa 2014 and other rules. “We took action against them by issuing an environmental protection order (EPO) in order to close down operation of these units,” he said. He stated that the EPO was issued for closure of 15 units the Site area, but the Sepa team successfully closed down seven units and another eight would be shut on Wednesday. He said Sepa stopped crackdown because of some issues during night hours in the industrial zone. Mr Abbasi with his team took action with the help of the district police and administration on the special directives of Sepa director general Naeem Ahmed Mughal.
