Rapid Assessment of Flood Affected Areas District Jhang Rapid Assessment of Flood Affected Areas District Jhang 15th September 2014 Farmers Development Organization Struggling for the Disadvantaged District Profile Jhang is one of the oldest districts on the subcontinent (being one of five districts established in Punjab in 1849), having being populated even around 2,000 BC, when it was known as Jhagi Sial. Jhang is bordered by Sargodha District to the north, Gujranwala District to the northeast, Faisalabad District and Toba Tek Singh District to the east, Khanewal and Muzaffargarh District to the south, Leiah District and Bhakkar District to the west, and Khushab District to the northwest. According to the 1998 census of Pakistan, the district's population was 2.8 million, of which 23 percent lived in urban areas. By 2008, according to estimates, the population had risen to 3.5 million. Rapid Assessment Report-Jhang-2014 Page 2 of 9 District at a Glance Established 1849 Headquarters Jhang city Area • Total 8,809 km2(3,401 sq mi) Population (2006) • Total 3,353,000 • Density 321.8/km2(833/sq mi) Number of Tehsils 4 The district comprises on following administrative units (tehsils); 1. Jhang 2. Athara Hazari 3. Shorkot 4. Ahmad Pur Sial Jhang District covers 8,809 km². Almost all the area is cultivatable land except in the north near Rabwah and Chenab Nagar where the land turns rocky as it approaches the Kirana hills. The western portion of the district holds the Thal Desert, which starts in Mari Shah Sakhira and extends to banks of the Jhelum River far to the west in the districts of Khushab and Bhakkar. There is also an area known as the Sandal Bar arising from Pabbarwala near the Gujranwala boundary. "Bar", in the local language, means a forested area where there are no resources for cultivation, like water. This area used to be forested and was unable to be cultivated before British colonial rule, when a canal system was installed near the town of Lyallpur (now Faisalabad), which is now the textile industry hub of Pakistan. Between the rivers Jhelum and Chenab is also a small area of Kirana bar, ending at Ghoriwala village. The area alongside the banks of rivers Chenab and Jhelum is called Hitthar (area in which flood water reaches), while the upland area between the bars and Hitthar is called Utar. Rapid Assessment Report-Jhang-2014 Page 3 of 9 UC wise Population: Rapid Assessment Report-Jhang-2014 Page 4 of 9 Situation of Flood (2014) in District Jhang A deluge induced by heavy monsoon rains continues to wreak havoc in central Punjab as it heads south. The district administration has breached the Athara Hazari embankment to save the urban population of Jhang after ordering evacuation of Athara Hazari tehsil which comprises more than 250,000 spread across 260-plus villages. Keeping in view the current critical situation of flood, FDO started the rapid assessment in district Jhang as visited the areas tehsil 18 Hazari, and Jhang to assess the damages. As still water is flowing in the areas most of the areas affected by flood are still un- reachable, but as per a rapid assessment about 21 UCs are badly affected by the flood along with the river banks of Channab & Jehlum.

People have started going back to their places in many places. But still in this phase following concerns and issues have to be dealt with: As crops in the area have been badly affected so there will be need to support the flood affecters in sowing the next crop. By providing the seeds and fertilizers. Most of the affected population would need support in managing the debris and rebuilding the infrastructure of their houses. Safe drinking water would be a major issues as water sources are already damaged, repair of water sources ( tube wells or hand pumps) would be immediately required. Damage of crops and stored grains resulting in shortage of food for both human and livestock, the support in food security and livestock recovery is required also.

The project is aimed at to promote sustainable forest management in Pakistan’s western Himalayan temperate coniferous, subtropical broad leaved evergreen thorn (scrub) and riverine forest for biodiversity conservation, mitigation of climate change and securing of forest ecosystem service. This paper encompasses the study of socio-economic aspects of the salt range scrub forest landscape located in Chakwal and Jhelum Districts of the Punjab province, to develop a framework for sustainable management. The landscape represents an ecosystem that contributes largely to economic and welfare of the communities which depend, directly or indirectly on the exploitation of natural resources of this ecosystem. Hence, there is interrelationship between environment and socio- economic conditions prevailing in the area. They are affected by the natural environment with its various ecosystems which provide continues supply of goods and services. The stability of environment, sustainable forest management and welfare of communities are highly associated and correlated. The total area of landscape is 20,000 ha, out of which 7,859 ha is forested and owned by the state, and 6,672 ha in the outer landscape is private land, including cultivation (1,752 ha) and pastures and settlements, 5469 ha is communal land.

Few villages of their followers had been given in district Jaranwala, few were given in district Faisalabad and few came in the vicinity of district Toba Teksingh. In this way, the power of the Syed family came to an end. Now in the existing set up, the leadership is in the hands of three major families i.e. Syed, Arian and Fatiana.
