This phenomenon is unusual; however, due to climate changes, districts in the north of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa i.e. Mansehra, Chitral, Battagram, Kohistan (U/L), Torghar, Shangla are prone to such incidents of GLOF and these districts have already been sensitized by NDMA & PDMA during various phases of monsoon contingency planning. In Chitral, 03 people have so far been reported as dead due to various incidents of houses collapse. The exact number of injuries cannot be ascertained due to inaccessibility of different affected areas. The rain spell is on and the district is expected to receive more rains in the days to come.

PHED and Irrigation Chitral have also demanded funds for rehabilitation of their damaged facilities:- Sr.No Road/Bridge Points 1 Chitral – Drosh – West Road at Dome Shoghore Chitral, Orghouch, Drosh Area 2 Raeen Gol Road, Turkow Road 3 Reshun Gol Bridge on Booni Mastuj Road 4 Reshun Power House Road 5 Booni Gol Bridge 6 Awi Bridge 7 Bridge on Rech Road 8 Suspension Bridge Kosht 9 Osiak Suspension Bridge Drosh 10 Biori Road A summery for Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been moved for release of Rs.140 Million to C&W Chitral (Rs.100 M), PHED Chitral (Rs.30 M) and Irrigation Chitral (Rs.10 M) so as to mobilize contractors on restoration/rehabilitation work on the damaged infrastructure. A detail demand of funds for complete rehabilitation of damaged roads/bridges is enclosed at Annex-I RELIEF EFFORTS BY PDMA/DDMU CHITRAL Relief Funds Sufficient funds have been placed at the disposal of District Chitral before the onset of current monsoons for carrying out relief activities in flood hit areas. Currently, an amount of Rs. 20 Million is available in the relief account of District Chitral. DC Chitral has been authorized for Rs.200,000/- out of relief funds for supply of drinking water to affected areas. Provision of Food Items Deputy Commissioner Chitral has been authorized to procure and stock essential food items worth Rs.01 Million for distribution amongst the affected population of cut off areas. PDMA has transported 20 Tonnes (500 Packages) of food items to the district on 20th July 2015 while a consignment of another 20 Tonnes food items is being sent in a couple of days. PDMA team headed by DG PDMA is present in Chitral for needs assessment and provision of relief. Provision of Non-Food Items District Chitral has already been provided non-food items i.e. tents, blankets etc. However, so far only 50-60 houses have been reported as partially damaged. The current stock is sufficient to cater for the existing needs; however, PDMA can transport more NFIs from its Humanitarian Response Facility (HRF) if required.

  • 1 Impact of Aga Khan Rural Support Program's Gender Strategy On
    Impact of Aga Khan Rural Support Program’s Gender Strategy on Rural Women in District Chitral Rabia Gul Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad Email: [email protected] Abstract The study was conducted in Chitral Valley in the North of Pakistan to explore the gender related activities introduced by the Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP).The findings show that the AKRSP has been playing a key role in the development of women in the area and initiated development programs in water supply, health and credit facilities. It imparted trainings for the local women in different disciplines through the Women Organizations (WO’s) established in the area. These trainings were recorded and mostly repeated via video cassettes in different villages. Posters and charts were also used to make the trainings easier for the local women to understand. The AKRSP has also been successful to take few hours daily from the Local Government Radio in the area and communicate to the women in their local language about certain issues such as personal hygiene, procedure to get and pay back loans from the micro finance bank of AKRSP, about agricultural practices etc. Practical adoption of these trainings has made positive effect in the lives of the local women in terms of improved agricultural products and increase in income of the respondents. Further, the AKRSP is looking into the possibility of establishing a Community Radio which if established will play a major role for the development of the area. Thus, it is concluded that the AKRSP has made invaluable contributions in improving the access of women to education, health resources and economic empowerment opportunities.

  • Claiming Territory: Colonial State Space and the Making of British India’S North-West Frontier
    CLAIMING TERRITORY: COLONIAL STATE SPACE AND THE MAKING OF BRITISH INDIA’S NORTH-WEST FRONTIER A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Jason G. Cons January 2005 © 2005 Jason G. Cons ABSTRACT In this thesis, I examine the discursive construction of colonial state space in the context of British India’s turn of the century North-West Frontier. My central argument is that notions of a uniform state space posited in official theorizations of the frontier need to be reexamined not as evidence of a particular kind of rule, but rather as a claim to having accomplished it. Drawing on new colonial historiographies that suggest ways of reading archives and archival documents for their silences and on historical sociological understandings of state-formation, I offer close readings of three different kinds of documents: writing about the North-West Frontier by members of the colonial administration, annual general reports of the Survey of India, and narratives written by colonial frontier officers detailing their time and experience of “making” the frontier. I begin by looking at the writings of George Nathanial Curzon and others attempting to theorize the concept of frontiers in turn of the century political discourse. Framed against the backdrop of the “Great Game” for empire with Russia and the progressive territorial consolidation of colonial frontiers into borders in the late 19th century, these arguments constitute what I call a “colonial theory of frontiers.” This theory simultaneously naturalizes colonial space and presents borders as the inevitable result of colonial expansion.

The sites mostly ranging from 1800 B.C. to the early 600 B.C, are popularly known as Gandhara Grave Culture. Though brief surveys and explorations were conducted in the area earlier, but no excavations were conducted. The site of Parwak was discovered by a team of Archaeologists from Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, Government of NWFP and Boston University, USA in a survey conducted in June 2003 under the direction of Prof. (Dr.) Ihsan Ali and Dr. Rafique Mughal. The site is at about 110 km north east of Chitral, near the town of Buni, on the right bank of river Chitral and set in a beautiful environment. The site measures 121 x 84 meter, divided in to three mounds.

  • Accession of the States Had Been the Big Issue After the Division of Subcontinent Into Two Major Countries
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No.I (January-June 2016) An Historical Overview of the Accession of Princely States Attiya Khanam The Women University, Multan Abstract The paper presents the historical overview of the accession of princely states. The British ruled India with two administrative systems, the princely states and British provinces. The states were ruled by native rulers who had entered into treaty with the British government. With the fall of Paramountacy, the states had to confirm their accession to one Constituent Assembly or the other. The paper discusses the position of states at the time of independence and unfolds the British, congress and Muslim league policies towards the accession of princely states. It further discloses the evil plans and scheming of British to save the congress interests as it considered the proposal of the cabinet Mission 1946 as ‘balkanisation of India’. Congress was deadly against the proposal of allowing states to opt for independence following the lapse of paramountancy. Congress adopted very aggressive policy and threatened the states for accession. Muslim league did not interfere with the internal affair of any sate and remained neutral. It respected the right of the states to decide their own future by their own choice. The paper documents the policies of these main parties and unveils the hidden motives of main actors. It also provides the historical and political details of those states acceded to Pakistan. 84 Attiya Khanam Key Words: Transfer of Power 1947, Accession of State to Pakistan, Partition of India, Princely States Introduction Accession of the states had been the big issue after the division of subcontinent into two major countries.
