  • Governance and Militancy in Pakistan's Kyber Agency
    December 2011 1 Governance and Militancy in Pakistan’s Khyber Agency Mehlaqa Samdani Introduction and Background In mid-October 2011, thousands of families were fleeing Khyber, one of the seven tribal agencies in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), to refugee camps or relatives living outside of FATA. Their flight was in response to the announcement by the Pakistani military that it was undertaking a fresh round of operations against militant groups operating in the area. Militants have been active in Khyber (and FATA more generally) for several years. Some have used the area as a safe haven, resting between their own military operations in Afghanistan or other parts of Pakistan. Others have competed locally for influence by providing justice or security services, by decrying the ruling elite’s failure to provide these and other services to the local population, or by using force against those people the militants consider threatening or un-Islamic. The Pakistani military’s actions against militants in Khyber have already driven most of these nonstate groups out of the more populated areas and into Khyber’s remote Tirah Valley. But beyond that, the government of Pakistan has failed to implement most of the legal and political changes required to reform Khyber’s dysfunctional governance system to meet the needs of its residents. Khyber Agency is home to some half-million people, all of whom are ethnic Pashtuns from four major tribal groupings: Afridi, Shinwari, Mullagori, and Shalmani. It is also home to the historic Khyber Pass (to Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province). Khyber Agency covers an area of 2,576 square kilometers, with Mohmand Agency to the north, the district of Peshawar to the east, Orakzai Agency to the south, and Kurram Agency to the west.

  • A Comparative Study of Environmental Effect of Green
    IJSTE - International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering | Volume 3 | Issue 09 | March 2017 ISSN (online): 2349-784X A Comparative Study of Environmental Effect of Green Buses to Existing Public Transport Nikhilesh Milind Kadam Prof. V. K. Bhakhtyapuri PG Student Assistant Professor Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering G. H. Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur, India G. H. Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur, India Prof. S. D. Ghodmare Assistant Professor Department of Civil Engineering G. H. Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur, India Abstract Developing economies observe a unique phase of population growth, economic growth as well as urbanization. As one-third of Indian population lives in urban area; and so road transport dominates. Public transport existence is quite uneven in developing cities and where-ever a reasonable level of service is offered it has attracted ridership. Bus-based service all together comprises about 90% of public transport. In cities increasing travel demand, dependence on private vehicle mode and declining public transport mode will increase energy demand and CO2 emission from cities. The research is carried to analysis the environmental parameter CO2 emission of existing public transportation with respect to Green bus and to perform comparative analysis of traffic parameters i.e. queue length and travel time between existing and green bus as a mode of public transportation of selected route by using PTV Vissim and EnViVer software. The Green bus has potential to reduce the CO2 emission about 26.71% which helps to improve air quality of the city, the travel time is increased by 16.73% and 8.50% on north bound and south bound respectively of Green bus due to its bus characteristics, and it provides safety and comfort to the user.
