The Haunting Footprints of Drought, Hunger and Poor Governance: a Report on the Tharpakar Crisis
The Haunting Footprints of Drought, Hunger and Poor Governance: A Report on the Tharpakar Crisis THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN MESSAGE OF THE CHAIRMAN Thar is a large track of desert land running along the whole of the eastern length of the Sind province. It consists of sand hills or bhiths and shallow salt lakelets (dhandis) fed by rain. The phenomenon of drought is recurring and Thar remains the worst region of famine. The name Thar comes from ‘thul’ which means sand ridges. It is also commonly known as ‘MarooThul’, which means the death area. The crisis at Thar was nomenclatured as a “Tragedy of Thar” by the DAWN newspaper in its editorial after my visit dated 12th March 2016. The conditions in Thar are a stark manifestation of state neglect, inaptitude, bureaucratic inertia and corruption. Now another problem is arising through radicalization and attempts of forced conversions. All this calls for immediate curative measures as suggested in the report. This greatest desert of Pakistan has the biggest deposits of coal and overwhelming non- muslim majority whimpering of inaction on the part of the state. State organizations like NDMA, PDMAs, metrological departments etc have remained callous so far which is unfortunate. The Metrological department could always forewarn through correct information about the expected drought to prepare people ahead. The government of Sindh in departments of Health, Education and local administration are to be made accountable. The agonies of the people were brought to the notice of the receptive Senator Taj Haider, the spokesman for the Sindh government on Thar. -
