Environmental Report 49 Mw Luat Hydro Power Project
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 49 MW LUAT HYDRO POWER PROJECT Submitted To: Environmental Protection Agency Azad Jammu & Kashmir Submitted By: Neelum Green Energy (Pvt.) Ltd. 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. -
In Neelum Valley, Azad Jammu and Kashmir
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. -

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. -

3Rd Quarter (Jul19
RMC LAHORE QUARTERLY BULLETIN Vol. 1, Issue.3, 2019 Preface The basic objective of this publication is to highlight the quarterly activities carried out at Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Lahore. RMC is part of Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) headed by the Director, responsible for administrative, financial and technical control of all units of PMD in Punjab and Azad Jammu & Kashmir region. The region is very important and vulnerable for all-natural disasters due to its geographical & geological features. The socio-economic activities in this region are heavily depended on meteorological parameters. All the meteorological parameters which are recorded at different units of PMD are then computerized at Regional Climate Data Processing Section at RMC after quality checks for the public, researchers, developers, economists, government and private agencies for the development, land reforms, agricultural sector, urban planning and all fields of life. In meteorology, the human skill development is very important for accurate weather parameter reporting. This can be achieved by developing a healthy, hygienic and up to date environment to all staff at all units which has been insured at all units. I acknowledge the efforts of all the officers & officials at respective stations and units for their contribution to maintain the observation up to the mark of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards. It is the result of this same spirit that our officials have come up with a new innovation in the techniques for the better data processing and handling. Hence, upgrading the system for a bright and better future of Pakistan in the field of meteorology.

KEY-WORDS: Inula – COMPOSITAE – Pakistan – Kashmir. Introduction The genus Inula L. ( s. str. ) belongs to the tribe Inuleae of the family Compositae including about 100 species, mainly distributed in Europe, Africa and Asia. The genus Inula was described by LINNAEUS with thirteen species (1753, 1754). The pro - tologue used by LINNAEUS was quite generalized as he did not give the weightage to the finer details of floral characters. Later on, this genus was treated by variuos workers from time to time (viz., CANDOLLE, 1836; BENTHAM & HOOKER, 1873; BOISSIER, 1875; CLARKE, 1876; HOOKER, 1881; BECK, 1882; HOFFMANN, 1890; GORSCHKOVA, 1959; KITAMURA, 1960; GRIERSON, 1975; BALL & TUTIN, 1976; RECHINGER, 1980; ANDERBERG, 1991; KUMAR, 1995).
