Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA) has undertaken Jammu and Kashmir Urban Sector Development Investment Program (JKUSDIP), financed by the ADB through Multi- Tranche Financing Facility (MFF). The total estimated cost of the program is about US $485 million, out of which $300 million will be financed by ADB. The primary objective of JKUSDIP is to promote economic development in the State of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) through expansion of basic services such as water supply, sewerage, sanitation, drainage, solid waste management, urban transport and other municipal functions in Srinagar, Jammu and other important urban centers of the State. JKUSDIP will also strengthen the service delivery capacity of the responsible state urban agencies and urban local bodies through management reform, capacity building and training. The programme is to be implemented in 3 to 7 tranches over a period of 8 years. Each tranche constitutes a separate loan. Tranche I and Tranche II of JKUSDIP are under implementation. One of the subprojects identified under Tranche 3 of JKUSDIP is (Construction of New Mehjoor Bridge on the Down-Stream Side of (Dilapidated Mehjoor Bridge), Construction of Grade Separator at Radio Kashmir crossing along Sonwar RR axis and at TRC- JK Bank Crossing along Dalgate - Lal Chowk axis in Srinagar City). 2. Subproject Scope: The major objectives of constructing New Mehjoor Bridge at Jawahar Nagar: (i) Decongestion of traffic between airport road and Natipora Newa Road. (ii) It will provide a better route for transporting building material like bricks, stones and sand etc. from Lasjan area to Srinagar city. (iii) It will improved long-term traffic management in the Srinagar City.(Iv) Provide a better connectivity to all type of traffic including heavy vehicles to Srinagar city and areas across the Flood Spill Channel. This project will benefit by way of connecting the area from Lasjan, Padshahi bagh area to main city there by reducing the distance by about 5-6 km. Further this will to large extent help in decongestion of

  • Glacier Elevation and Mass Changes in Himalayas During 2000-2014
    The Cryosphere Discuss., https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-2019-85 Manuscript under review for journal The Cryosphere Discussion started: 29 April 2019 c Author(s) 2019. CC BY 4.0 License. Glacier elevation and mass changes in Himalayas during 2000-2014 Debmita Bandyopadhyay1, Gulab Singh1, Anil V.Kulkarni2 1Center of Studies in Resources Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, 400076, India 5 2Divecha Centre for Climate Change, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, 560012, India Abstract Glacier mass balance is a crucial parameter to understand the changes in glaciers. For the Himalayas, it is more complex as glaciers have a heterogeneous pattern of elevation and mass changes. In this study, 10 mass balance using geodetic method is estimated, for which we utilize SRTM and TanDEM-X global digital elevation models (DEMs) of the year 2000 and 2012-2014 respectively. The unique feature of this study is that the dataset are prepared using repeat bistatic synthetic aperture radar interferometry which has not been used over the rugged Himalayan terrains on such a large-scale. The elevation and mass change measurements cover seven states namely Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, 15 Uttarakhand, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh. The mean elevation change is -0.45 ± 0.40 m yr -1 and the mass budget is -11.24 ± 0.79 Gt yr -1. However, the cumulative mass loss over the observation period of 2000-2014 is -154.72 ± 19.04 Gt which accounts for approximately 5% of the total ice-mass present in the Indian Himalayas. This ice-mass loss contributes to 0.42 ± 0.05 mm of sea- level rise.

ABSTRACT Kashmir valley which is functionally a city-centered region, for the geographical, historical, socio-economic forces of urbanization have shaped and contributed to the emergence of urban primacy of Srinagar city. Being the single largest city, Srinagar constitutes around two-third of the state's urban population. The socio-cultural artifacts of Srinagar city is the accretion of a long period of time as over a period of six hundred years or so, the city has cradled itself between the hills of Hariparbat (Hawal) and Shankaracharya (Dalgate) along the banks of the river Jhelum. The present city thus stands as a mirror to reflect the complex historical background of the various stages which it has passed through. Srinagar City has grown enormously in the last twenty years. Apropos to this, the present study tries to analyse and examine the spatial, socio- economic, historical and related characteristics of the Srinagar metropolis- the Heart of Valley. The authors suggested some revival measures for better urban management of the historic Srinagar city. KEYWORDS : Srinagar Metropolis, Urban History, City core- Downtown, Geographical Facet Introduction bodies in Srinagar city. The methodology adapted in the present study The Kashmir valley which is functionally a city-centered region, as the was of integrative, supplementary and complementary nature, to fulfill geographical, historical, socio-political and economic forces of the set objectives related to the study area.

  • Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley PJAEE, 17 (9) (2020)
    Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley PJAEE, 17 (9) (2020) Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley 1 Gowhar Ahmad Wani 1 Ph.D. Research Scholar, School of Economics, Department of Economics Central University of Kerala Gowhar Ahmad Wani: Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley-- Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(9). ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Behavior, Social Society, Surfing Sports ABSTRACT This paper examined sustainability isssues happening at tourism destinations in Kashmir Valley. Conclusions are drawn and remedies provided on the basis of concerned issues. Practices, models and strategies adopted by Himalayan and Non- Himalayan states are presented and explained their relevance for the rectification and endorsement of sustainable tourism at destinations. In Kashmir Valley most of the products are gifted by nature and demands vital care and supervision. Due to poor management, deficient facilities and services problems like contamination (water and air), solid waste, open dumping of garbage, emissions, chlorofluorocarbons and green house gases, illegal constructions and degradation of forests highly noticeable at renowned places like Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg. In this context, strong policies, strategic framework, sustainable tourism practices and adequate facilities and services are treated as imperative. 1. Introduction Over the period, progress of tourism industry offered numerous benefits to people living at tourism potential destinations. High tourist influx brought dollars to their accounts and boosted their economies. Nevertheless, lack of consideration and overcrowding negatively exaggerated the tourism resources like water bodies, aquatic resources and critical environment (Neto, 2003). Longstanding existence of destinations need proper supervision and at the same time control of emissions, disposal of wastes, and maintenance of hygiene treated as vital.

    DEAD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Survey on people killed since 1989-2006 in Baramulla District, of Jammu Kashmir Conducted by JAMMU KASHMIR COALITION OF CIVIL SOCIETY The Bund, Amira Kadal, Srinagar Jammu Kashmir 190001 Tel: +91-194-2482820 Email: [email protected] Web: www.jkccs.org Acknowledgements Studies and surveys undertaken as a collective work and based on voluntary participation of people, where only travel expenses can be met, are an exhilarating experience for the participants. But it is time consuming, and harmonizing pre-occupations of working for living with availability of time for voluntary work can be confounding. There were also moments of tension and frustration because the work was taking too long to complete. But successful teamwork, once completed, is its own reward.
