DISTRICT GILGIT 1

1. Background Information 1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 History Gilgit Baltistan region, which in its amazing history, formerly named as Northern Areas, has a unique geographical composition on the globe. Occupying an extraordinarily varied and attractive landscape, Gilgit Baltistan is meeting point of the world’s four famous high altitude mountain ranges i.e. Pamirs, Hindukush, Karakorum and Himalayas. This region, in the opinion of geologists, is the meeting ground of “continents in collision” as the Indo-Pak sub-continental mass emerges to integrate into Eurasian continent of the north-west, leaving behind two main “faults” along the area. Previously known as Federally Administered Northern Areas (FANA), now “Gilgit Baltistan”,is a vital factor in the country’s fortunes. The mighty Indus, the longest and largest river and a major source of Pakistan’s agricultural strength meanders through Gilgit Baltistan. With recent administrative changes in this part of the country, its strategic significance has increased more than ever. Gilgit Baltistan lies in Northern Areas of Pakistan, with border belts of India, China and Afghanistan.4.

Gilgit was an important city on the historic Silk Route Gilgit was ruled for centuries by the local Trakhàn dynasty, which ended in 1810 with the death of Raja Abass, the last Trakhàn Raja. The area, which had been a flourishing tract of prosperity, was destroyed by warfare and by the great flood of 1841, in which river Indus was blocked by a landslip below the Hatu Pir and the valley was turned into a lake. After the death of Abas Sulaiman Shah, Raja of Yasin, conquered Gilgit. In 1877, the British government established the Gilgit Agency. It comprised of the Gilgit Wazarat, the State of Hunza and Nagar, the Punial Jagir, the Governorships of Yasin, Kuh- Ghizer and Ishkoman, and Chilas. It is also recorded that the Tajiks of Xinjiang sometimes took control of Gilgit and Kunjuti Hunza.

In 1935, Britain demanded from Jammu and Kashmir to lease them Gilgit town plus most of the Gilgit Agency and the hill-states of Hunza, Nagar, Yasin and Ishkoman for 60 years. Maharaja Hari Singh had no choice but to acquiesce. The leased region was then treated as part of British India, administered by a Political Agent, stationed at Gilgit, responsible to Delhi, first through the resident in Jammu and Kashmir and later a British Agent in Peshawar. Jammu and Kashmir State no longer kept troops in Gilgit and a mercenary force, the Gilgit Scouts, was recruited by British officers and paid for by Delhi. In April 1947, Delhi decided to formally retrocede the leased areas to Hari Singh’s Jammu and Kashmir State as of August 15, 1947. The transfer was to formally take place on August 1. Gilgit Scouts progressed with Pakistani troops from the north through High Himalayas and contributed in attacking of Skardu in the summer

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2 of 1948, pushing further towards Ladakh area. After Pakistani advances of early 1948, Indian troops gathered momentum in late 1948. Finally, India asked for UN intervention and a ceasefire was agreed on December 31, 1948. This conflict left Pakistan with roughly two-fifths of Kashmir along with Gilgit and Baltistan, leaving three-fifths of Kashmir along with Jammu and Leh to India5.

1.1.2 Geography Gilgit district is situated between 35° 55ʹ 19″ North and 74° 17ʹ 21″ East. It is bounded on the north by Hunza-Nagar, on the east by Skardu and Astore districts and on the south by Diamer. Gilgit shares boundary with five districts of Gilgit Baltistan.

1.1.3 Culture The population of the region is religiously and linguistically diverse - four Islamic schools of thought: Sunni, Shia Ithnasheri, Shia Imami Ismaili, Noor Baksh live together in this region. Main languages spoken in the area are: Shinna, Buroshaski, Chitrali, Balti, Wakhi and Urdu.

Being head quarter of the region, people from all parts of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), speaking different languages, have settled in this district. The population encounters difficulties in understanding all these languages that hinders establishment of a smooth communication system. Therefore, Urdu has become the most popular language and is spoken and understood by most inhabitants. Due to highly diverse ethnic backgrounds, people mostly identify themselves with their distinct ethnic background.

Polo is a very popular sport in Gilgit Baltistan, and is being played here since a very long time. This game was introduced in Gilgit from Chitral. According to J. Budlafh (British Political Agent, 1878-1881), the Polo played in this area has no rules and regulations as such, and is played in a very dangerous manner. It is also named as Game of the Kings in the east and central Asia. 1.1.4 Administrative Division: The Deputy Commissioner, District Magistrate and the Revenue Collector are the Administrative heads of the district. The Deputy Commissioner is assisted by Assistant Commissioner (Implementation) and Assistant Commissioners for administrative subdivisions including Gilgit city and Danyore. Field staff includes Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar, Girdawar and Patwaris. There are twelve Unioin Councils as part of local government structure. Currently, the district has been divided into two tehsils i.e Gilgit and Danyore.

1.1.5 Road Network Infrastructure In district Gilgit, the density and the quality of roads vary significantly. In terms of road density and length per million, Gilgit lags behind the other districts of GB. A large part of the overall network falls under the category of district roads, which is growing at an annual rate of 6.4%. Currently, the size of the district road network is around 550 km.

There are 5 main road networks, which connect Gilgit district to other parts of the region and also includes entry and exit points. Table 1.1.4, given below, describes the main routes and Entry Exit points of these routes from Gilgit district. These routes can be taken into account, in case of emergency or disaster situations.

1.1.6 Irrigation Gilgit-Baltistan has special importance in terms of water availability to Pakistan. Irrigation is an essential input of agriculture in the mountain valleys. The agricultural production is based essentially on water supply from streams and rivers which are fed by snow melt water from areas higher up the mountain ranges. Since the region lies outside the monsoon rainfall system, it receives a very low annual precipitation. A total of 65.8% irrigated area is commanded by open water channels, which provides water from snow and glacier melt, while uplift of water from river is also practiced for irrigation purposes. Ground water provides irrigation to around 20% of the irrigated area. Water is mainly drawn from various sources like precipitation, stream flows from glacier and snow melt, springs and ground water.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 4

The rainfall is so meagre that it hardly fulfils the requirement of crops. Thus stream flows provide the major portion of water use in Gilgit, which are diverted from streams contributing to the tributaries. Stream flows are very low in winters; begin to rise marginally in March as snow melt begins at lower altitudes. When melting begins at altitudes of glaciated region, these contribute to stream flows. Streams, originating from snow and glacial melt irrigate 65.8% of arable land while springs cover 19.2% of land as a source of irrigation. The streams are diverted into water channels, locally named as ‘Kuhls’, carrying water for kilometres in rugged terrain. Tube wells exists but in negligible numbers.

1.1.7 Solid Waste Management Gilgit is the main city of GB region and faces more severe solid waste management (SWM) problems than the other districts. A strategy is needed to tackle this growing problem with emphasis on institutional strengthening of the line departments and raising awareness among the masses. Detailed separate strategies for municipal waste, hospital waste and slaughterhouse is desirable6.

The solid waste is collected with the help of Municipal tractor trolleys and transferred to the dumping site near Karakorum International University (KIU). In the main town areas, where provision of dustbins are available (mostly in bazaar areas), people dispose of wastes in these dustbins. Households along the water channels dispose of their garbage directly into the nearby water channels or river.

According to a survey, conducted by IUCN, the average SW generation (estimated) in Gilgit town is around 0.4 kg of waste per person per day. According to IUCN survey conducted in 1998, the estimated SW generation in Gilgit town is around 70- 80 tons per day.

1.2 Demography

1.2.1 Population Characteristics In Pakistan, male population is more than the female population and is among those four countries where life expectancy for female, at birth, is less than that of males. Sex ratio in Gilgit is 115 males per 100 females, which is more than the ratio at the National level that is 106. Though there could be other possible reasons for such a difference in male to female ratio, one probable reason of this ratio could be underreporting of females during national surveys. Besides, a very high maternal mortality rate and poor health care at the district and province level are likely to be instrumental for a great fall in the number of women. District Gilgit, like majority of the districts in Gilgit Baltistan is rural by its characteristics, and ninety three percent of the population resides in rural areas.

1.3 Livelihood Table 1.3.1 shows the overall economic situation of the region on the basis of available economic development indicators. The per capita income (PCI) of the population of Gilgit Baltistan, as a whole, was Rs. 29,426 in 2008 while PCI for district Gilgit is 41, 334, which is the highest amongst the districts of GB. The level of income is still lesser than the national average income9. Furthermore, there are considerable differences in the per capita incomes of the different districts of GB.

1.3.1 Main Sources of Livelihood and Income11: The Transport Sector in Gilgit has grown as the largest business in the region in terms of asset holdings. This amount constitutes 34% of the total private sector assets.

The public transport system holds 60% of the total assets in the transport sector as compared to 39% owned by the private transport system and 1% by Sectors on the basis of assets in public sector automobile workshops and 1% 0% 1% service stations.

It Power Generation constitutes 13% of the total Cottage Industry Construction Materials public sector assets.

The Infrastructure Sector, which constitutes businesses related to construction of roads, buildings, and power generation, has grown as the fourth largest sector in terms of asset holdings. This sector covers 11% of the total assets in the private sector. Out of the total assets involved in this sector, the service providers’ (contractor’s associations) share is 98% while the

LIVELIHOOD 10 related businesses such as manufacturing, construction materials and value addition share 2% of the total assets involved in this sub-sector. The poor asset-holdings by the manufacturing and construction material businesses are attributable to the free availability of the natural resource base of sand and stone in the region.

The Tourism Sector, being the fifth largest asset holding sector, holds 8% of the total assets involved in the private sector. Despite this sector’s vast geographic coverage, its poor asset- holdings are indicative of non-prioritized and poor allocation of financial resources, lack of financial support, political instability in the region, and physical threat to the tourist.

The Banking Sector is the sixth largest in terms of asset holding. More than six scheduled banks with dozens of branches are operating in Gilgit-Baltistan since the last two to three decades and have deposits worth approximately 100 billion rupees. The banking sector operates on investments from both the public and private financial sources. The major banks in the region are, predominantly, government owned, except for a few privately owned banks. 1.3.2 Agriculture Limited land is cultivable in district Gilgit. The cultivated area is predominantly made on alluvial fans. There is also a small fraction of cultivated area (mainly along river banks), which has been reclaimed from old river beds. The soil features vary in structure and texture across the district. In general, the texture of soil is high in silt and sand and low in clay. The soil depth is from 30- 120 cms, weak to moderate granular structure at the surface and sub angular blocky at the bottom.

1.3.3 Industry There is a huge potential for establishment of major industries, particularly, in mining, gemstones, horticulture, energy, and forestry etc. in the district, but due to socio-economic and political reasons, this potential has not been exploited as yet. However, there are flour mills, saw mills, furniture and wood works, hydro-power stations, hotels, etc. These industries are operating at a small scale and just to meet the consumption needs of the local population. 1.3.4 Forest Forests in Gilgit Baltistan provide critical ecosystem for wildlife habitat, biotic diversity, watershed protection, soil erosion control, etc. Only 9% of the total land in GB is covered with forest(s), out of which more than 50% is the agro/social forest12.

The southern slopes of district Gilgit receive heavy rainfall and consequently are covered with forests of deodar, pine, poplar and willow trees. The northerly ranges and north-facing slopes receive practically no rains and are, therefore, without trees. The lack of tree cover in northern parts contributes to many of the problems faced by the agricultural sector, which include: soil erosion, the silting of streams, flooding and a shortage of timber and firewood.

1.4 Food Security Food security can be broadly divided into four components13:

 Availability of food in terms of sufficient quantity available through domestic production or imports  Access to adequate resources given the socio-political and economic arrangements of the community  Utilization refers to the body’s ability to make use of the nutrients provided. This requires clean water sanitation and health care.  Stability includes an all-time access and utilization of food without any fear of losing it due to any shock (natural calamity, economic shock). This component points out to sustainability of food in an area. 1.4.1 Availability District Gilgit has extremely low availability of food. Gilgit is highly deficient in wheat production. Due to the topographic conditions, limited area is available for cultivation. This area specializes in fruit production, such as walnuts, apples, apricots and grapes. Food availability not only depends on the obtainability of wheat but also rests on availability of other cereals like rice, maize etc. Production of Maize and rice also is insufficient for local consumption. Moreover, animal based food availability (meat, milk, and milk products) is also important for total food availability and combining both, the crop based and animal based food self- sufficiency, Gilgit is producing extremely insufficient food14.

1.4.2 Access Production of surplus food is not the only indicator of food security. Similarly, per capita availability of food items alone is not a reliable indicator of food security. If the available food is socio-economically not accessible to the masses, availability alone cannot make a society food secure. Average monthly income of a household in this district is between Rs. 11,000 and Rs. 15,000/-which is considered as low15. Child dependency (ratio between children and household members in economically active age group) is one of the limiting factors in meeting the daily needs of households and is an important indicator to measure access to food. The increased dependency ratio enhances the spending of the household on child care and food, which results in a per capita reduction of socio-economic access to food. Child dependency ratio is also high in this district. The share of household expenditures on food is 59.9%, of the total income, in Gilgit Baltistan. So the low level of income, high food expenditures and high inflation (particularly food inflation) hinders access to food.

FOOD SECURITY 14

1.4.3 Utilization In addition to food availability and access, proper assimilation of food in the body is essential. Food utilization and stability depicts this absorption of food and its sustainability. Improved sanitation facilities, clean drinking water, health infrastructure and individual health status along with the female literacy play vital role in food absorption. According to Food Security Analysis (FSA) 2009, access to improved drinking water is extremely low in this district16. Sanitation facilities in valleys and urban areas of district Gilgit is far better than rural areas of the district, where 98 percent of urban HH have reported Flush facility at their homes.

Thus, Gilgit is facing problem of food availability, and access to clean drinking water. Besides lack of sufficient, safe and nutritious food that could meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life of the people make inhabitants of the district vulnerable17.

The 61% rate for female literacy seems highly encouraging in an area mainly governed by male domination and traditional mind-set towards female education. The literacy rate, for both men and women, in Gilgit is far better than the rest of the districts of Gilgit-Baltistan. This is mainly because Gilgit, being the capital of Gilgit-Baltistan, offers wide-ranging education facilities and opportunities to the students from all others districts who come to the educational institutions here, particularly for higher education.

19 DISASTER HISTORY AND ITS IMPACT 20

The exposure of Gilgit city to natural hazards and disasters could be ranked as moderate, as compared to other districts of Gilgit-Baltistan22. A range of natural hazards including earthquakes, droughts, floods, landslides, storms, glacial lake outbursts, river erosion, pest attacks and epidemics threaten Gilgit district. In addition, a variety of human induced hazards are threatening the society, economy and environment of the district. They include sectarian violence, civil conflicts, transport accidents and internal displacements of communities. Significant hazards, from the perspective of disaster risk reduction, include flooding, earthquakes, transport accidents, and droughts that can cause widespread damage and losses when they occur. There are a number of underlying risk factors that increase vulnerability and contribute to the severity of disasters. 2.1.2 Exposure and Vulnerability The table below illustrates that several areas in GB face a disproportionate share of either very high or high risk disasters or both. In particular, 33 percent23 of the Gilgit Baltistan province faces very high risk of disasters while none of the Province in Pakistan comparatively faces such a risk of disasters. In total, 50 percent of the region in the GB faces either a high or very high risk of disasters

2.2 Disaster Impact

2.2.1 Demography Gilgit has a long history of disasters as has been discussed in the previous section. The Monsoon flood of 2010 in Gilgit is marked as the most disastrous flood in the history of Gilgit. Floods 2010 had a serious effect on socio-economic institutions of the district, particularly its demographic structure. Amongst them 21 are in Sharot-e-Shykyote, 16 in Municipal Area and 15 in Nomal, which are causing damages to the settlements and infrastructure24. 11 UCs’ population had been partially or fully affected by the flood.

3. Hazard, Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis 3.1 Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis

3.1.1 Hazard Hazard simply means danger or risk. The synonyms used for hazards are jeopardy, venture, peril or chance. A hazard is the situation which triggers disaster. But it can be also defined as:

“Hazard is a potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation” 31.

Thus, hazard is a situation that has the potential to harm the health and safety of a people or damage their property, plants and equipment etc. Hazards can be divided into two categories. 3.1.2 Natural hazard There are natural processes or phenomena within the earth system that may constitute a damaging event. Example typhoons, tsunamis, earthquake and volcanic eruption cyclones, earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms are natural hazards. 3.1.3 Man-made hazard Any industrial, nuclear, or transportation accident, explosion, power failure, resource shortage, or other condition, resulting from man-made causes, which threaten or cause damage to property, human suffering, hardship or loss of life are termed as Man-Made hazard.

3.3 Capacity Capacity is contrasted to vulnerability. Ability to perform or produce is capacity. Capacities are resources, means and strengths, which exist in households and communities and which enable them to cope with, withstand, prepare for, prevent, mitigate or quickly recover from a disaster. The combination of all the strengths, attributes and resources available within a community, society or organization that can be used to achieve agreed goals make up its capacity37. 3.3.1 Physical/material capacity: In most disasters, people suffer their greatest losses in the physical and material realm. Access to physical/material things or objects count as physical capacity. Few examples of physical and material capacity are cash, food, land, properties and tools. 3.3.2 Social /organizational capacity: However, even when everything physical is destroyed, people still have their skills, experiences and knowledge; they have family and social networks. They have leaders and systems for making decisions. They also have local, collective ‘wisdom’ reflected in their cultural practices that help them reduce or cope with disaster risks. 3.3.3 Attitudinal/motivational capacity: People also have positive attitudes and strong motivations such as the will to survive and willingness to help each other. Capacity matrix: PHYSICAL/MATERIAL SOCIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL ATTITUDENAL/MOTIVATIONAL Plantation of trees along the banks of Some valleys pay attention to weather Some local communities are using their rivers, in order to control soil erosion forecasts on heavy rains, and have indigenous knowledge, which is passed and prevent or lessen water overflow identified places to evacuate to in case down from village elders to the next in the rainy seasons, has increased. the village is going to be affected by generation, to overcome the adverse flooding. impacts of hazards.
