The report shows that at least 229 people were killed following different incidents of violence, including 32 civilians who lost their life due to extrajudicial executions, only within a six months period, from January 1, 2020, until 30 June 2020. Women and children who should be protected and kept safe, suffer the hardest from the effects of the conflict, three children and two women have been killed over this period alone. On an almost daily basis, unlawful killings of one or two individuals are reported in Jammu and Kashmir. As you may be aware, impunity for human rights abuses is a long-standing issue in Jammu and Kashmir. Abuses by security force personnel, including unlawful killings, rape, and disappearances, have often go ne uninvestigated and unpunished. India authorities in Jammu and Kashmir also frequently violate other rights. Prolonged curfews restrict people’s movement, mobile and internet service shutdowns curb free expression, and protestors often face excessive force and the use of abusive weapons such as pellet-firing shotguns. While the region seemed to have slowly emerging out of the complete crackdown imposed on 5 August 2019, with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdown was reimposed and so the conditions for civilians remain dire.

  • Pir Panjal Regional Festival Integrating the Isolated Border Districts in J&K & Building Peace from Below*
    No 142 IPCS ISSUE BRIEF No 142 APRIL 2010 APRIL 2010 Building Peace & Countering Radicalization Pir Panjal Regional Festival Integrating the Isolated Border Districts in J&K & Building Peace from Below* D. Suba Chandran Deputy Director, IPCS, New Delhi This essay focus on two districts in the Jammu sub region of J&K—Rajouri and Poonch, along the Pir Panjal range of the outer Himalayas. The primary objective is to highlight the conflict transformation (both positive and negative) in this region during the recent years; to explore the opportunities of an Pir Panjal festival bringing the various communities together and build peace from below; integrate the border districts with the national mainstream; and improve the physical and psychological connectivity of the Pir Panjal region with the rest and remove the feeling of physical isolation. Idea of using a festival to promote tourism in J&K is not a new one; those who have witnessed the Ladakh festival, in all its colorful glory and culturally rich historical past, would agree how it has brought the region, its people and culture to the limelight. Of course, there are other places – from Dal lake to Gulmarg and from Bhaderwah to Basohli, which can easily boast the same – in terms of their rich culture, colorful people and beautiful places. The irony of J&K, however has been - there are numerous such regions in J&K, unfortunately remaining in the periphery, physically isolated and psychologically looking inward. Ladakh festival, now celebrated during August every year, attracts global attention and tourists who visit the land of moon, as it is popularly referred, to enjoy the culture, people and places.

  • Ground Response and Support Measures for Pir Panjal Tunnel in the Himalayas
    GroundIGC 2009 Response, Guntur, and INDIA Support Measures for Pir Panjal Tunnel in the Himalayas GROUND RESPONSE AND SUPPORT MEASURES FOR PIR PANJAL TUNNEL IN THE HIMALAYAS K.S. Rao Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi–110 016, India. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Pir Panjal tunnel linking between Banihal and Qazigund stations is the important tunnel in the railway line from Udhampur to Baramula in the Himalayas. The Pir Panjal ranges are having complex geological set up with major folds and faults. More than six major lithological units are traled along the 11 km length of the tunnel with very high overburden at many sections. The phenomena of squeezing is studied using the limit equilibrium and FLAC methods for this tunnel. A detailed stress and displacement assessment has been attempted in this study, in order to stabilise the tunnel sections with suitable support measures. 1. INTRODUCTION Sequence of rock mass behaviour leading to regional failure is explained schematically by Szwedzicki (2003) as shown in A large number of power and transport tunnel projects are being Figure 1. Accordingly, there will be several indicators and constructed in the tectonically active and young Himalayan precursors which will lead to local damage and subsequently mountains. The main areas of concern regarding tunnel stability regional failure. An indicator is defined as a sign, a state or a are the existence of weak, highly deformable and anisotropic contributing factor that points out or suggest that the rock rock mass and high degree of weathering and fracturing.

Acknowledgement Lakes and Water bodies are one of the most important natural resources of our State. Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.

  • Studies Pertaining to Environmental Degradation Caused by Fagla Landslide, Ramban Area, Jammu and Kashmir State
    Environment Conservation Journal 8 (3) 99-105, 2007 (ISSN 0972-3099) Studies pertaining to environmental degradation caused by Fagla Landslide, Ramban area, Jammu and Kashmir State Amita Fotedar*, R.K.Verma**, B.K.Fotedar*** and Veerji Tikoo**** * Department of Environmental Sciences, Jammu University, Jammu ** G.G.M. Science College, Jammu *** Modern Academy, Dalpatian, Jammu ****Directorate of Geology and Mining, J & K Government Abstract Fagla landslide at a distance of 160 km from Jammu, very near to Ramban area, national highway –IA, is one of the notorious landslides in J & K. Among many other causes, such as deforestation, high relief brittle nature of rocks, the main cause of landslide revealed from field investigation is great water ingress present in the rocks in the form of springs, nallas and water falls. The problem gets compounded during excessive rains – when phyllite salty rocks develop shear joints resulting in breaking apart big rock blocks from the main mass turning in to huge scree material and finally getting accumulated on the road. For mitigation of the slide, proper disposal of run off by digging wells and connecting the same to the horizontals tunnels readily(Tunake model) as applied in kamenose landslide in Japan successfully, is suggested for Fagla landslide, the only strengthened by anchoring at vulnerable ponts, An adequate forest cover in the water shed areas of the landslide site from Rambvan to Anokhi fall together with growing vetiver grass in the whole belt in the northeast are other methods suggested to control the slide successfully. Keywords: Mitigation, Fagla landslide, Ramban area, Jammu and Kashmir State Introduction Geological and environmental factors have immense influence on land use.
