Situation Overview Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Situation Heavy Rains and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods on Caused Flash Floods in Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Pakistan: Monsoon 2015 Update No. 2 (as of 27 July 2015) This report was produced and issued by OCHA Pakistan. It provides an overview of the monsoon flood situation as of 27 July 2015. Heavy monsoon rains, the rapid melting of snow and outbursts from glacial lakes have led to flash floods and the flooding of the Indus River in various locations across Pakistan. The floods have affected 23 Districts across Pakistan with 55 reported fatalities and 14 people injured. Chitral District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and six Districts of Punjab province have been hit the hardest, with a high risk of floods in Sindh province in coming days. The Pakistan Army and Government authorities are providing immediate response. OCHA is in contact with national and provincial disaster management authorities, and continues to monitor the situation.

During these floods, the ground communication systems were generally disrupted and information on flood extent and damage through ground reporting services was not available for taking timely decisions. To address the situation and to ensure continuous provision of current and timely information to the concerned stakeholder’s and decision makers satellite remote sensing and GIS technologies were extensively utilized. SUPARCO in collaboration with FAO started generating data on daily basis on flood extent, damage to households, infrastructure and crops besides undertaking detailed Damage Need Assessment (DNA). This fast track supply of information made it possible to reach out to affected and displaced masses for supply of food, medical care, relief, rehabilitation and follow up programs. In the aftermath of floods, monitoring of flood recession and ponding of water in the affected areas on decadal basis was also carried out for several months. All of this work was published by SUPARCO-FAO jointly in three reports (Reports 1 to 3).

  • Survey of Ecotourism Potential in Pakistan's Biodiversity Project Area (Chitral and Northern Areas): Consultancy Report for IU
    Survey of ecotourism potential in Pakistan’s biodiversity project area (Chitral and northern areas): Consultancy report for IUCN Pakistan John Mock and Kimberley O'Neil 1996 Keywords: conservation, development, biodiversity, ecotourism, trekking, environmental impacts, environmental degradation, deforestation, code of conduct, policies, Chitral, Pakistan. 1.0.0. Introduction In Pakistan, the National Tourism Policy and the National Conservation Strategy emphasize the crucial interdependence between tourism and the environment. Tourism has a significant impact upon the physical and social environment, while, at the same time, tourism's success depends on the continued well-being of the environment. Because the physical and social environment constitutes the resource base for tourism, tourism has a vested interest in conserving and strengthening this resource base. Hence, conserving and strengthening biodiversity can be said to hold the key to tourism's success. The interdependence between tourism and the environment is recognized worldwide. A recent survey by the Industry and Environment Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/IE) shows that the resource most essential for the growth of tourism is the environment (UNEP 1995:7). Tourism is an environmentally-sensitive industry whose growth is dependent upon the quality of the environment. Tourism growth will cease when negative environmental effects diminish the tourism experience. By providing rural communities with the skills to manage the environment, the GEF/UNDP funded project "Maintaining Biodiversity in Pakistan with Rural Community Development" (Biodiversity Project), intends to involve local communities in tourism development. The Biodiversity Project also recognizes the potential need to involve private companies in the implementation of tourism plans (PC II:9).

  • Transregional Intoxications Wine in Buddhist Gandhara and Kafiristan
    Borders Itineraries on the Edges of Iran edited by Stefano Pellò Transregional Intoxications Wine in Buddhist Gandhara and Kafiristan Max Klimburg (Universität Wien, Österreich) Abstract The essay deals with the wine culture of the Hindu Kush area, which is believed to be among the oldest vinicultural regions of the world. Important traces and testimonies can be found in the Gandharan Buddhist stone reliefs of the Swat valley as well as in the wine culture of former Kafiristan, present-day Nuristan, in Afghanistan, which is still in many ways preserved among the Kalash Kafirs of Pakistan’s Chitral District. Kalash represent a very interesting case of ‘pagan’ cultural survival within the Islamic world. Keywords Kafiristan. Wine. Gandhara. Kalash. Dionysus, the ancient wine deity of the Greeks, was believed to have origi- nated in Nysa, a place which was imagined to be located somewhere in Asia, thus possibly also in the southern outskirts of the Hindu Kush, where Alexander and his Army marched through in the year 327 BCE. That wood- ed mountainous region is credited by some scholars with the fame of one of the most important original sources of the viticulture, based on locally wild growing vines (see Neubauer 1974). Thus, conceivably, it was also the regional viniculture and not only the (reported) finding of much of ivy and laurel which had raised the Greeks’ hope to find the deity’s mythical birth place. When they came across a village with a name similar to Nysa, the question appeared to be solved, and the king declared Dionysus his and the army’s main protective deity instead of Heracles, thereby upgrading himself from a semi-divine to a fully divine personality.

  • Religion As a Space for Kalash Identity a Case Study of Village Bumburetin Kalash Valley, District Chitral
    World Applied Sciences Journal 29 (3): 426-432, 2014 ISSN 1818-4952 © IDOSI Publications, 2014 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wasj.2014.29.03.1589 Religion as a Space for Kalash Identity A Case Study of Village Bumburetin Kalash Valley, District Chitral Irum Sheikh, Hafeez-ur-Rehman Chaudhry and Anwaar Mohyuddin Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan Abstract: The study was conducted in Bumburet valley of district Chitral, Pakistan. Qualitative anthropological research technique was adopted for acquiring the ethnographic data for the research in hand. This research paper is an attempt to understand ancestral and cultural traditions, faith, mystic experiences, oral history and mythology of the Kalash people. The natives’ concept of sacred and profane, fundamental principle of purity and impurity and the use of religion as a source of socio political strength have also taken into the account. Religion is a universal phenomenon which has existed even in the Stone Age and preliterate societies and serves as a source of identification for the people. Among the Kalash religion is the main divine force for their cultural identity. Religious identity is constructed both socially and culturally and transmitted to the next generation. The changes brought in the religion are the consequence of asserting power to make it more of cultural and group identity rather than a pure matter of choice based on individual’s inner self or basic fact of birth. The role of Shamans and Qazi is very significant. They teach and preach youth the rituals, offering and sacrifice. The contemporary Kalash believes in one God but the Red Kalash believed in variety of gods and deities, which includes Irma (The Supreme Creator), Dezalik/ disini (goddess of fertility), Sajigor (the warrior god), Bulimain (divider of riches), Maha~deo (god of promise), Ingaw (god of prosperity), Shigan (god of health), Kotsomaiush (goddess of nature and feminism) and Jatch / Zaz (A Super Natural Being).
