A country cannot progress unless it has a good system of road network. The progress of agriculture sector depends upon the speed with which farmers obtain the necessary seeds, fertilizers, pesticide and farm machineries etc. on the one hand: and find the market for the disposal of their surplus products, on the other. This is only possible when we have a good network of farms to market roads. Road transport also creates demand for the primary products, and stimulates the consumption of products of manufacturing sector. Thus it encourages the development of both agriculture and industry and provides a lot of encouragement for the growth of the tertiary sector such as banking, insurance and trading. It improves market intelligence and discourages market imperfection and also encourages price equalization among different transport regions of the country. Moreover, there is simple evidence to suggest that road transportation has helped to create local employment, facilitation of inter-community trade and migration, alleviation of poverty, and improvement of productivity. Various barriers like caste, colour, creed, location etc., have been broken by the operation of road transport service. A change in the people has also been brought about by the road transport service. It has result the spread of industrial units in smaller towns and many new towns have come into existence due to the operation of road transport. Balochistan area wise is the largest province of Pakistan, covering 44% of the country’s area, but is home to only 5% of the country’s population. Its strengths lie in its wealth of natural resources, the vast rangeland, the coastal belt with 1100 km of coastline, and rich mineral and hydrocarbon deposits. Balochistan is a land of diversity, mountains rich of minerals, coastal land, uplands, plains and deserts, having a diverse flora & fauna and land of great difference and contrast. Total length of national highways in Balochistan is 4,629 km (38% of the total NHA road network). But still the road density and especially the level of service of the roads in Balochistan is very less. Several projects are launched in recent years in Balochistan for development of the area and also to facilitate the traffic of CPEC which will bring additional prosperity to the area and interlink ages of different area through a good quality required will provide a backbone for the economic growth of the region. National Highway N-25 is very important link between Karachi and Chaman. The N- 25 or National Highway 25 is 813 km 2-lane national highway in Pakistan which extends along from Karachi in Sindh province to Chaman in Balochistan province. It was previously known as the Regional Cooperation for Development Highway (RCD Highway).The RCD Highway was constructed under a treaty between Pakistan, Iran and Turkey and was first constructed during the regime of SardarAttaullahMengal as Chief Minister of Balochistan.The N-25 National Highway or RCD Highway connects Balochistan with a number of provinces and cities in Pakistan, Iran and Turkey. It is 813 km long, passing through Karachi, Bela, Khuzdar, Kalat, Quetta and Chaman and continuing into Afghanistan, It then joins N-40 (National Highway 40 Quetta- Taftan International Border Circuit) which leads it via Naukundi to Road 84 in Iran and through various Iranian Highways to Turkey and onwards Europe. The highway also has a recent connection to Gwadar through N-85 from Surab. It also passes through many towns in Balochistan. It is a major road for Balochistan, connecting the province with the rest of Pakistan. National Highway Authority (NHA) intends to convert this 2-lane facility from Khuzdar to Chaman into four lane highway for smooth and quicker movement of traffic. NESPAK (Pvt) Ltd has been awarded the work of Dualization of Khuzdar to Chaman section of N-25 along with technical study & detailed design of alternative route at Lakpass& Tunnel at Khojak Bypass. This document covers the detailed methodology along with programme of working. The proposed project will improve the social and economic condition of the people of surrounding.

    SAVE THE NATURE SURVEY REPORT BALOCHISTAN BLACK BEARIN PAB HILL, DISTRICT KHUZDARBALOCHISTAN [November2013] [ INTRODUCTION Balochistan, the largest province of Pakistan, has a rich floral and faunal diversity. Despite its global importance it has never been explored in detail nor been managed properly. The ecosystems are being degraded, depleted and deteriorated mainly due to the absence of appropriate management practices. As a result critical habitats continue to be degraded and many species of global importance have either become extinct or are critically endangered. The government has limited reach to the wilderness areas of the province, and little capacity or resources to undertake conservation activities. The extent of the issues is further augmented in these areas of the province due to inaccessibility and lack of human resources with the custodian department. Overgrazing; cutting of scanty vegetation by outsiders for sale as for fuel; indiscriminate hunting and trade in wild species are common practice especially in the bordering districts. Besides poverty and unawareness, the other most serious deficiency in environmental policy-making in the province lies in the lack of adequate and specifically trained human resources, able to generate new or to tap traditional knowledge needed for effective policy and proper implementation of the decisions. HABITAT AND LOCALITY OF BLOCHISTAN BLACK BEAR WADH Sub-Tehsil of district Khuzdar, Balohistan is very famous for its unique natural resources. It is predominantly inhabited by Mengal Tribe of Balochistan. The climate of the area is semi-arid with warm summers and mild winters. The target area, like rest of the Balochistan is also rich in mineral resources.

People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

  • Rahim Yar Khan District Is a District in the Punjab Province of Pakistan, the City of Rahim Yar Khan Is the Capital
    World Water Day April-2011 17 DRINKING WATER QUALITY CHALLENGES IN PAKISTAN By Z. A. Soomro1, Dr. M. I. A. Khokhar, W. Hussain and M. Hussain Abstract: Pakistan is facing drastic decrease in per capita water availability due to rapid increase in population. The water shortage and increasing competition for multiple uses of water has adversely affected the quality of water. Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources has launched a national water quality monitoring program. This program covered water sampling and their analysis from 21 major cities. The water samples were analyzed for physical, chemical and bacteriological contamination. Results showed that most of the samples in all four provinces are microbiologically contaminated. Arsenic problem is major in cities of Punjab, Nitrate contamination in Balochistan, Iron contamination in KPK and higher turbidity values found in water samples found in Sindh. This valuable data would serve the regulatory bodies and implementing authorities towards the quality drinking water supply. Key words: Water Quality, Surface water, Groundwater contamination, Hand pumps, Pollution, Microbiology, Chemical contamination. 1. INTRODUCTION Nature has blessed Pakistan with adequate surface and groundwater resources. However, rapid population growth, urbanization and the continued industrial development has placed immense stress on water resources of the country. The extended droughts and non-development of additional water resources have further aggravated the water scarcity situation. Pakistan has been blessed with abundance of availability of surface and ground water resources to the tune of 128300 million m3 and 50579 million m3 per year respectively (The Pakistan National Conservation Strategy, 1992).Consequently per capita water availability has decreased from 5600 m3 to 1000 m3 / annum(Water quality status 2003).
