Office # 7, MB City Mall, I‐8 Markaz, Islamabad +92 51 4861790 Consultant: Nasir Absar Consulting (Pvt.) Ltd. Office # 1, Second Floor, VIP Square I‐8 Markaz, Islamabad +92 51 4861323 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION The proposed 49 MW Luat Hydropower Project “the Project” is identified in the lower 6-7 km stretch of Chutiari nullah, near Luat village, District Neelum, in the Azad State of Jammu and Kashmir. Chutiari nullah is a right bank tributary of Neelum River in the tehsils Athmuqam, Neelum district with its confluence about 95 km north-west of Muzaffarabad city. The Project layout has been planned on the right bank of Chutiari nullah with diversion weir intake, connecting channel, sandtrap, low pressure headrace tunnel, surge shaft, pressure shaft, pressure tunnel, underground powerhouse and a free flow tailrace tunnel to discharge the outflows back into the Nullah. An access tunnel is provided for handling of plant and equipment transportation to the powerhouse, the access tunnel is just over the tailrace tunnel. This site was first identified by a French Firm (CFG) in 1986. During the preliminary site identification studies the estimated installed capacity of the Project was estimated to be 25 MW. In November 2008, Hydro Electric Board (HEB) of the Azad State of Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K) signed a Consultancy Agreement with M/s Fida Hussain Chaudhary - FHC Consulting Engineers, Lahore, in association with M/s Scott Wilson Limited of United Kingdom and M/s Electra Consultants, Peshawar for preparation of feasibility study reports.

    Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan

    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2014 Jun;32(2):301-313 ©INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DIARRHOEAL ISSN 1606-0997 | $ 5.00+0.20 DISEASE RESEARCH, BANGLADESH Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Nazish Jabeen, Sajid Malik Human Genetics Program, Department of Animal Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, 45320 Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Kashmiri population in the northeast of Pakistan has strong historical, cultural and linguistic affini- ties with the neighbouring populations of upper Punjab and Potohar region of Pakistan. However, the study of consanguineous unions, which are customarily practised in many populations of Pakistan, revealed marked differences between the Kashmiris and other populations of northern Pakistan with respect to the distribution of marriage types and inbreeding coefficient (F). The current descriptive epidemiological study carried out in Bhimber district of Mirpur division, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, demonstrated that consanguineous marriages were 62% of the total marriages (F=0.0348). First-cousin unions were the predominant type of marriages and constituted 50.13% of total marital unions. The estimates of inbreeding coefficient were higher in the literate subjects, and consanguinity was witnessed to be rising with increasing literacy level. Additionally, consanguinity was observed to be associated with ethnicity, family structure, language, and marriage arrangements. Based upon these data, a distinct sociobiological structure, with increased stratification and higher genomic homozygos- ity, is expected for this Kashmiri population. In this communication, we present detailed distribution of the types of marital unions and the incidences of consanguinity and inbreeding coefficient (F) across various sociodemographic strata of Bhimber/Mirpuri population. The results of this study would have implication not only for other endogamous populations of Pakistan but also for the sizeable Kashmiri community immigrated to Europe.

    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 44(1), pp. 233-239, 2012. Distribution, Population Status and Habitat Utilization of Common Otter (Lutra lutra) in Neelum Valley, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Muhammad Bashir Khan, Khawaja Basharat Ahmed, Muhammad Siddique Awan, Usman Ali, Riaz Aziz Minhas* and Shahid Ashraf Choudary Department of Zoology, University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad Abstract.- Neelum Valley comprises of fascinating wildlife, yet it is not explored due to multiple factors including inaccessibility, no appropriate means of transportation and communication and cross border firing between Pakistan and Indian armed forces. Common otter (Lutra lutra) listed as near threatened by IUCN in the Red List of 2008, has been extinct in much of its range with many populations still thinning and is firmly protected by the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Wild Life Act. The present study aimed to find out the distribution, habitat utilization and population status of common otter in Neelum Valley. Study area was divided into zones and localities and eight months surveys of each locality were conducted from December, 2004 to July, 2005. The important vegetation of the area was Rumex histatus, Adhatoda zeyloanica, Cynoglossum lanceolatum, Salix sp, Pinus sp, Cedrus deodara and Celtis eriocarpa. Common otter was found to adapt to rocky area with cave type places, sands and pebbles. Average population was measured by the indirect method of sampling. The animal was distributed in all three zones and 22 localities apart from Nosada locality. A total population of 35 animals was estimated with the average population density of 2.29 animals/km2 in the study area.

Accepted 22 August, 2011 The mainstream of people residing in Hattian Bala District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan are dependent on medicinal plants for their healthcares. The indigenous medicinal knowledge is in serious danger, as this knowledge is being shifted from generation to generation. Now, modern generation is not paying much attention to save this treasure due to western medicines. This study’s aim is to report the use of medicinal plants by traditional healers and local people to treat various human diseases in the rural and sub urban areas of the study area, which is yet to be reported from an ethno medicinal aspect. Research was conducted by means of open ended and semi-structured questionnaire based interviews. A total of 12 local healers and 91 local people were interviewed, and a total of 24 plant species belonging to 16 families were recorded.

E N V I R ON M E N T 18 H O W Y O U C A N H E L P 19 The tremendous success of this office is a testament not only to the dynamic team of young men and women who have worked voluntarily and relentlessly since the establishment of the office, but a credit to the generosity of the Mirpuri community in Kashmir and here in the UK. Moreover, MH Mirpur has from the outset, focused on delivering aid though strong partnerships with grass-roots community groups, the Government and the private sector. Not only does this reduce duplication and wastage – evidence shows that only such partnerships can produce lasting change. May Allah reward all those who have made this work possible. The rapidly expanding Safe Drinking Programme, which has already seen 16 modern water filtration plants installed across Mirpur in less than a year has been the most prominent intervention made my MH Mirpur – however, much good work has been done in the areas of education, medical care and environmental protection to name but a few.

INTRODUCTION Pakistan is presently facing acute shortages of electricity while the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is targeting for substantial economic growth in the medium to long term. To combat the electricity shortage and to achieve high targets of growth all possible resources for power generation are to be used to sustain the economy. It is estimated that Pakistan would require around 2000-3000 MW annual addition for the next few years. The international geopolitical situation and unstable fuel oil and gas prices in the world have compelled Pakistan to look for additional resources for diversity and energy security of the country. Pakistan is a water-rich country and is endowed with hydropower potential of more than 60000 MW.
