PRCS (Pakistan Red Crescent Society's) PRCS (Pakistan Red Crescent Society’s) HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE Operations Update – 17th May 2010 PRCS IDPS OPERATION Situation Background Pakistan faced an enormous humanitarian crisis in Malakand division (North-West Frontier Province) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) triggered by fierce fighting between Government security forces and militants. This conflict situation resulted in migration of around 2.8 million individuals; majority of whom shifted to the districts Mardan, Malakand, Dir (lower Dir), Nowshera, Peshawar, Charsada and Swabi. According to OCHA report (16th April 2010), since the start of the voluntary return of displaced people on 13 July 2009, an estimated 1.95 million individuals have returned to the areas of Swat, Buner and Malakand with the majority of the displaced people returning back to the Swat area. Conflict between the military forces and the militants in Orakzai Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is on-going. So far more than 30,000 families have been registered in Hangu and Kohat districts, where the displaced people are living with host families.

This was followed by rolling boulders and rocks, sliding two villages including Atta Abad into the Hunza River. This resulted in blocking Shahra-e-Karakorum (KKH) and the Hunza River. People got displaced and Upper Hunza got cut-off. According to initial reports, over 2,500 people were affected and out of these 1,673 men, women and children have been settled in camps set up in four schools in Altit and the rest with host families. At least 15 people have been killed and infrastructural damage is reported to have affected 260 houses. Area cut off due to landslide GULMIT & SHISHKAT Camps at Altit AEENA ABAD ATTA ABAD Flooded Area Landslide Debris blocking the Hunza River created an artificial dam which has reached dangerous height and breakage is expected. Potential overflow/outburst is expected to displace more people. Since access by road is impossible during the last couple of months, the relief goods were being transported through boats. EXISTING SITUATION OF DAM/LAKE i) Total height of landslide from top to bottom: 418 feet ii) Total water deposit: 340 feet iii) Distance left to reach Spillway (height left) : 25 feet iv) Daily water rise in the lake per day : 2.7 feet v) Expected date of overflow: 25-28 May 2010 SITUATION OF IDPS CAMP SHISHKAT VILLAGE (UPPER STREAM) Due to this alarming situation, Govt. High school at Shishkat has turned into an IDP camp by the local authorities. The position of IDPs in this camp as reported by PRCS Disaster Management (DM) Cell Hunza is shown below: Name of village # of Families Population Shishkat Village 113 1,190 Camp Gulmit Village 14 98 Camp Total 127 1,288 SITUATION OF OLD IDPS CAMP AT ALTIT HUNZA (DOWN STREAM) The position is same as before. 141 families of Attabad, Salmanabad and Sarat are residing in the 4 x camps setup by the local Government in school/colleges of Altit. PRCS has distributed Food items to these families as well as to some IDP families residing with host families in Altit. PRCS health teams also provided health services to these in-camp IDPs. EXPECTED EVACUATION OF POPULATION The vulnerable population to be evacuated after 15th May 2010 is estimated to be around 10,000 individuals. There are less chances of sudden outburst of the lake yet after overflow through spill-way, flooding may happen because the debris comprise of boulders, sand and soil etc. Therefore, the population living at river-banks is likely to suffer for which the contingency plans have been prepared. However, the evacuation of population is taking place from 15-20 May 2010. As per decision taken in the meeting on 30th April held in the office of Deputy Commissioner/ Chairman PRCS District Committee, PRCS Gilgit-Baltistan Branch has been assigned the responsibility of 195 households, having a population of 1,538 of village Chilmisdass. The breakdown of these households is as follows: Sr. No. Gender-wise breakdown 1 Males 600 2 Females 705 3 Children 233 Total Polulation 1,538 (195 families) PRCS RESPONSE So far PRCS with support of IFRC has carried out Hunza Operation worth more than PKR. 27 million To cater for this situation PRCS GB branch has Disaster Management team, Medical team and a team of trained volunteers ready to be deployed immediately. PRCS NHQ is also on standby with their Response team for facilitating as per need. Shelter PRCS GB Branch has erected 100 tents in Chilmisdass and another 100 are in the process of being erected today. By tomorrow, the PRCS Chilmisdass camp shall be ready to accommodate the designated 195 families. Health PRCS health teams are already present on site and are ready to aid the IDPs as they come in the new camp. Apart from this the team has already provided health services to the in-camp IDPs at Altit. Medicines for 2,000 individuals for 3 months period have been packed and are ready to be deployed from PRCS NHQ. WATSAN PRCS Incharge WATSAN is dispatching the required material for WATSAN facilities and shall move to the camp to monitor the camp facilities. PSP PRCS PSP Coordinator is assessing the PSP needs and already trained PSP volunteers on-site at Hunza are being mobilized to cater for these psychosocial needs of the IDP families. A complete PSP plan is being formulated. PSP team had already worked in camps at Altit and conducted training and orientation sessions there in Hunza. Coordination PRCS is in close coordination with the local government and district authorities as well as all the other key stakeholders for smooth running of the Hunza operation and to accommodate and facilitate the expected IDP families. ERUs (Emergency Response Units) from PRCS comprising of PRCS employees & trained volunteers for Search & Rescue, relief operations and first aid/ medical facilities are being deputed & put on high alert throughout this period. One ambulance at BHU Gilgit and three vehicles-one single cabin and two double cabins would be made available during relief operations. So far PRCS has carried out the distributions and provided services, details of which are as follows: - Beneficiary Phase Area of Operation Individuals Assistance Provided Families Food packs NFI Phase 2,024 Medicines Altit 4 x camps 253 families 1 individuals Health and PSP services RFL services Aainabad and Using Food Items Phase 640 Shishkat helicopters 80 families Tents (40) 2 individuals (Upper Hunza) and boats Health services Food packs Phase 987 NFIs (washing powder, Altit 4 x camps 141 families 3 individuals soap and hygiene napkins) Total No. of HUNZA Landslide 3,318 474 families Beneficiaries individuals FOOD ITEMS – A CRITICAL NEED PRCS along with the Government is making its utmost efforts to facilitate the population of upper stream Hunza with food supply and health care. For this purpose Government helicopters are operating regularly and boats have been provided in the lake for transportation of daily necessities of life to the population of 25,000 scattered in various villages of upper Hunza. The position of food supply to the IDPs is becoming critical day by day. Keeping the need in mind, PRCS NHQ (with support of IFRC) dispatched 200 Food packs to Hunza on 27th April 2010, which were distributed to in-camp Hunza IDPs in Altit. But with the new expected displacements, the need for food and non food items is still critical.

    [Shah et. al., Vol.7 (Iss.7):July2019] ISSN- 2350-0530(O), ISSN- 2394-3629(P) DOI: https://doi.org/10.29121/granthaalayah.v7.i7.2019.718 Science CHROMITE DEPOSITS OF PAKISTAN: A SHORT REVIEW Syed Tallataf Hussain Shah *1, Mohsin Tariq 1, Nangyal Ghani Khan 1, Faizan-ur-Rehman Qaiser 2, Arsalan Iftikhar 1, Ammar Farid 1, Shah Naseer 1 *1 Department of Earth Sciences, Comsats University Islamabad-Abbottabad Campus, Pakistan Abstract Chromite is an important source for the manufacturing of stainless steel, nichrome, paint, and chemicals industries and has wide industrial utilization. In Pakistan, the chromite deposits are mostly associated with the ophiolitic sequence resulting as an outpouring of molten material in the fractured zones of the Indian plate and the Neo-Tethys Ocean through the Cretaceous era. The discovery and documentation of chromite in Pakistan is traveling back to 1960s, but unfortunately, most of the reports are lacking authentication in reserve estimation and grading. If the modern and proper geophysical and geochemical analysis is performed to the reported area, then there are more bright chances of acquiring the more authenticate reservoir estimation, its distribution in the prospect zone and chemical composition per metric ton. The current article is an effort towards making a composite record of all the published/unpublished reports and articles regarding the chromite discovery, estimation, and extraction in Pakistan. Keywords: Chromite Deposits; Pakistan. Cite This Article: Syed Tallataf Hussain Shah, Mohsin Tariq, Nangyal Ghani Khan, Faizan-ur- Rehman Qaiser, Arsalan Iftikhar, Ammar Farid, and Shah Naseer.

  • Hydel Power Potential of Pakistan 15
    Foreword God has blessed Pakistan with a tremendous hydel potential of more than 40,000 MW. However, only 15% of the hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so far. The remaining untapped potential, if properly exploited, can effectively meet Pakistan’s ever-increasing demand for electricity in a cost-effective way. To exploit Pakistan’s hydel resource productively, huge investments are necessary, which our economy cannot afford except at the expense of social sector spending. Considering the limitations and financial constraints of the public sector, the Government of Pakistan announced its “Policy for Power Generation Projects 2002” package for attracting overseas investment, and to facilitate tapping the domestic capital market to raise local financing for power projects. The main characteristics of this package are internationally competitive terms, an attractive framework for domestic investors, simplification of procedures, and steps to create and encourage a domestic corporate debt securities market. In order to facilitate prospective investors, the Private Power & Infrastructure Board has prepared a report titled “Pakistan Hydel Power Potential”, which provides comprehensive information on hydel projects in Pakistan. The report covers projects merely identified, projects with feasibility studies completed or in progress, projects under implementation by the public sector or the private sector, and projects in operation. Today, Pakistan offers a secure, politically stable investment environment which is moving towards deregulation

  • Structure and Metamorphism of the Chakdara Area Northwest of Swat River
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF IrshadAhmad for the degree of MasterofScience in Geology presented on July 31. 1991. Title:Structure and Metamorphism of the Chakdara Area Northwest of Swat River. Pakistan. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Robert D. Lawrence Two major faults, the Kohistan and Kishora thrusts separate the study area into three different tectonic terranes; theIndian shelf, Garaimelange, andKohistanterranes. Stratigraphy, deformation, and metamorphism withineachofthese terranes developed independently until they were juxtaposed by motion on these faults. An important aspect of the study areaisthatit records younger Swat deformation phases of the Himalayan orogen. The Indian shelf is composed of Kasha la and Saidu formations of the Alpurai group and underlain by the Chakdara granite gneiss. Three deformation phases (D1, D2, D3) are recorded, during which fabrics Si, S2, and S3 developed in association with folds Fi ,F2, and F3. Siis preserved as relictsin the porphyroblasts, pressure shadows, and as intrafolial folds in the S2 fabric.S2 is defined by the orientation of platy or elongated minerals and axial planes of preserved F1and F2 folds. Garnet, ferroan pargasite, and calcite porphyroblasts grew during and justafter the formationof S2. EarlierF1 folds are locally preserved. F1 areassociatedwith movement on the Kishora thrust.F2 folds are strongly developed and strike NNE and SSW. These are tight to isoclinal folds on both large and small scales.Small scale folds are parasitic to large regional folds.One of the large scale F2 has folded the Kasha la and Saidu formations. The Saidu formation occupies the synclines of these largeF2 folds. F2 foldsareassociatedwithsoutheastward thrusting of the Kohistan thrust.

  • PRCS (Pakistan Red Crescent Society's)
    PRCS (Pakistan Red Crescent Society’s) IDPs Operation Operation Update – March 2010 What Happened! Pakistan faced an enormous humanitarian crisis in Malakand division (North-West Frontier Province) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) triggered by fierce fighting between Government security forces and militants.
