  • In Dera Ghazi Khan and Muzaffargarh Islamabad
    PRESS RELEASE N0: JPNEMPAK20-13 PRESS RELEASE Embassy of Japan organized “ODA media tour” in Dera Ghazi Khan and Muzaffargarh Islamabad: February 28th, 2020 On 26 February, the Embassy of Japan organized the “Official Development Assistance (ODA) Press Tour”, participated by three journalists from esteemed media organizations in Multan. The purpose of this tour was to promote understanding of Pakistani media on Japan’s assistance for development in Pakistan, visiting the actual project sites with the journalists. Furthermore, it aimed to build awareness that Japan contributes to Pakistan’s sustainable development*. This time, the group, composed of the journalists and Embassy officials, visited two project sites; the Project for Widening & Strengthening of National Highway 70 (N-70) and the Project for Construction of Primary School in Baseera, District Muzaffargarh, Punjab. Initially, the group visited a construction site of N-70 in Dera Ghazi Khan. N-70 is a main artery connecting Punjab and Balochistan and a section of 11.5 km near Fort Monroe is a traffic choke point with continuous steep slopes and sharp curves. Japan provided concessional loan (interest rate: 0.2%, repayment period: 40 years, grace period: 10 years) worth USD142 million to improve the above section of N-70, and its construction began in 2016. Japan’s advanced technology is utilized for this project, including box-shaped girders made of maintenance-free steel for 75 years and special embankment wall using light and strong materials. A single-truck road has been expanded to double-truck and sharp curves with a radius of 8 meters has been enlarged to 30 meters.

  • The Deserts of Pakistan
    THE DESERTS OF PAKISTAN Thar (Sindh) The Thar Desert (Hindi: also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large, arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. With an area of more than 200,000 sq. km., (140,000 sq. mi.) it is world's seventeenth largest desert. It lies mostly in the Indian state of Rajasthan, and extends into the southern portion of Haryana and Punjab states and into northern Gujarat state. In Pakistan, the desert covers eastern Sind province and the southeastern portion of Pakistan's Punjab province. The Cholistan Desert adjoins the Thar Desert spreading into Pakistani Punjab province. The Thar Desert is bounded on the northwest by the Sutlej River, on the east by the Aravalli Range, on the south by the salt marsh known as the Rann of Kutch (parts of which are sometimes included in the Thar), and on the west by the Indus River. Its boundary to the large thorny steppe to the north is ill-defined. Depending on what areas are included or excluded, the nominal size of the Thar can vary significantly. Cholistan (Punjab) The word Cholistan is derived from the Turkish word Chol, which means Desert. Cholistan thus means Land of the Desert. The people of Cholistan lead a semi-nomadic life, moving from one place to another in search of water and fodder for their animals. The dry bed of the Hakra River runs through the area, along which many settlements of the Indus Valley Civilisation have been found. Thal (Punjab) The Thal desert is situated in Punjab, Pakistan.
