Indonesia earthquake kills more than 300 people as quake triggers 20-foot-high tsunami waves
More than 300 people have been killed after a tsunami - triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake - slammed into the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.



 It is the latest devastating quake to hit the Southeast Asian nation in recent months. The popular tourist destination of Lombok has been among the worst-affected islands.
PALU, Indonesia A tsunami swept away buildings and killed at least several hundred people on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, dumping victims caught in its relentless path across a devastated landscape that rescuers were struggling to reach Saturday, hindered by damaged roads and broken communications. Disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said 384 people were killed in the hard-hit city of Palu alone.
The nearby city of Donggala and the town of Mamuju were also ravaged by the tsunami but have not yet been reached by aid due to damaged roads and disrupted telecommunications.
Nugroho said "tens to hundreds" of people were taking part in a beach festival in Palu when the tsunami, which was triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, struck at dusk on Friday. Their fate was unknown.
In some places, the water rose as high as 20 feet. "We got a report over the phone saying that there was a guy who climbed a tree up to 6 meters high," Nugroho said.
Palu, which has more than 380,000 people, was strewn with debris from collapsed buildings. A mosque heavily damaged by the quake was half submerged and a shopping mall was reduced to a crumpled hulk. A large bridge with yellow arches had collapsed. Bodies lay partially covered by tarpaulins and a man carried a dead child through the wreckage.
Indonesia is frequently hit by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis because of its location on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.
In December 2004, a massive magnitude 9.1 earthquake off Sumatra island in western Indonesia triggered a tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries. On Aug. 5, a powerful quake on the Indonesian island of Lombok killed 505 people, most of whom died in collapsing buildings.

Damar Bhasha Dam Complete Analysis

The place for the Diamer Bhasha Dam is located in the "Thor village", about 40 km from Headquarters Chillas district, District Diamer. Daril and Tangir on the left side of the river Sindh, (Indus River )
which is the area of Sub-division Chausa and on the right side of the area,

the Chillas division is situated in the area of Karraqram Bhasha Nala, while the Dodshal is seen in the Kohli area of the police checkpoints on the opposite side of Darlal, although according to ancient records, Bhasha Nala The region is in the process of Chillas.

On the edge or on the back. Keeping in mind the physical and geographical features of the area, it comes in immediate understanding that the land around the proposed dam is very valuable. There is no spacious seamless space for human population and agricultural activities, here it is in mind that according to the local people, more than 31 villages and villages will be affected. 3115 The house has begun to reimburse Hong Kong from 2008 to reimbursement for alternative and 1500 acres of land will be stored in the reservoir. The construction of Diamer Bhasha dam makes threats to the ancient cultural heritage there. On the rocks there are pictures of Buddha Buddha on the rocks and there are many ancient rocky rocks in the upper parts of the Valley Sindh, whose universal significance is clear. An investigation team made a detailed visit to the rocky rocks on the proposed land for water reserves and Heidel Berg Yu Harald Hauptmann, professor of New Jersey and detailed talks about officials of WAPDA officials. Another research team intervened with local people in 2008. The rocks in upper rock and upper Sindh are situated in Chillas district district, which is a rare source for studying cultural and cultural history of Central and South Asian, and many of which are the oldest paths of ancient Silk Road. This material is being manufactured and disseminated under the guidance of Science and Environment Professor Harald Hauptmann. In the proposed area of ​​Diamer Bhasha Dam, in the 88 archaeological sites in which 68 shoulder rocks are compiled. Total 5,157 rocks and rocks are 36.187 shoulder things, which have 3610 letters of different languages ​​that are related to this area. The rocks and rocks of different sizes are spread across the river and the whole valley. Images from the earliest date on this rock are pictures of the camels until the arrival of Islam, especially there are Buddhist art there, which is the focus of the international world. Heidel Berg, a mission from the University of Yew New Zealand since 1989, brought experts archaeologists and geographical studyers into chassis, measuring, detailed reviews, photos taken and rated these shoulders and photos. The figures mentioned can be damaged by the construction of dam, how harmful it is to the cultural heritage and how many research and research doors are closed.

Sonuel Kot and Valley Valley Minhari story is a beautiful village of Sonaval Located in the junction of river Indus and Thor Nalaah. This village consists of 100 families. Village has large fruit trees and transparent water of water and sewage drains is lost in the Indus Sindh and loses its identity. These locals work gold, cattle feeding and farming, and their agricultural land will flow from 300 to 350 canals. This is their salary and these people do not want to live in the mountains. Similarly, another valley monastery is situated near the dam of the Dam. The wall will be only two kilos from the wall of the wall, all the six villages of the valley, Jaswam, Cheng Char , Norway, Namima, Baltwa and Nirmabi will flow in the reservoir. These settlers are about 100 years old and find gold. They do not have any authority over the forest, they earn limited options to use forest resources by paying a call. Valley is rich in fish and other water resources. People are fertile, people plant grain, vegetables and fruitful trees. People of Koswala Kot and Kanwar are saying that construction of dam makes Pakistan and Gilgit-Baltistan happy and prosperous, so we do not mind, we need a suitable compensation so that All of us settle together. We do not want to be separated, they have a serious concern and they think that there is no difference between us if we get lost. Do not hesitate to make us feel comfortable, people of the train are still waiting. They were powerful in every respect and we are neglected and weak. The fact that the government of Gilgit-Baltistan, Hilton Diamer and Action Committee, Diamer Bhasha Dam, have no plans for both these valleys and destruction. No one has any idea.

Some negative effects of Diamer Bhasha Dam:

There is no such process in the world, which has 100 percent positive impact. It is an intuitive order that Dam's construction plan is very spectacular and worthy of praise, but May May Dam's name was made controversial. It is also interesting to note that the construction of the dam will affect 80% of the third largest sub-division of Chillas and all the districts of Chillas and Darial and Tangir, the third largest and most backward district of Gilgit-Baltistan, will be affected by the village Kharni village, All the settlements of visual areas of Visual Nala, Ghana village, Thorur Nala, Hooda Village, Thilpant, Gas Bala, Gas Pine, Bonar Das, Dung Das, Jabalpur Village, Guner Farm, Shaheen Kot, Sonaval, and Goharabad and Rikshit Apart from this, agricultural land acquisition and deceptive geology will also be affected and the shaftal tirecope is around 80 to 150 kilometers high. Rakhram will also suffer from drowsiness that passes through the boundaries of the "district diamer".

Budha Ary Chillas

 According to field visit report October 2008, this storage area of ​​200 square kilometers will flow around 100 kilometer meter of Karram and the villages containing 28,000 population will be destroyed and will destroy the excavations of approximately 50,000 old rocks, Diamer Bhasha Dam,

According to WAPDA, 27 village dams will flow in the reservoir. These villages either on the banks of the river or on the edge of the river. Keeping in mind the physical and geographical features of the area, it comes in immediate understanding that the land around the proposed dam is very valuable. There is no spacious seamless space for human population and agricultural activities, here it is in mind that according to the local people, more than 31 villages and villages will be affected. 3115 The house has begun to reimburse Hong Kong after the government has started reimbursement from 2008 and 1500 acres of land will be stored in storage.

The construction of the Diamer Bhasha Dam brings great threat to ancient heritage. On the rocks there are pictures of Buddha Buddha on the rocks and there are many ancient rocky rocks in the upper parts of the Valley Sindh, whose universal significance is clear. An investigation team made a detailed visit to the rocky rocks on the proposed land for water reserves and Heidel Berg Yu Harald Hauptmann, professor of New Jersey and detailed talks about officials of WAPDA officials. Another research team intervened with local people in 2008. The rocks in upper rock and upper Sindh are situated in Chillas district district, which is a rare source for studying cultural and cultural history of ancient and southern Asia, and many of which have ancient heritage routes showcase.

This material is being constructed and crafted under the guidance of Academy of Sciences and Sciences of Harald Hauptmann in Germany. In the proposed area of ​​Diamer Bhasha Dam, in the 88 archaeological sites in which 68 shoulder rocks are compiled. Total 5,157 rocks and rocks are 36.187 shoulder things, which have 3610 letters of different languages ​​that are related to this area. The rocks and rocks of different sizes are spread across the river and the whole valley.

Heidel Berg, a mission from the University of Yew New Zealand since 1989, brought experts archaeologists and geographical studyers into chassis, measuring, detailed reviews, photos taken and rated these shoulders and photos. The figures mentioned can be measured by how damages damages the cultural heritage and how many research and research doors are closed.

Diamer Bhasha Dam and Gilgit-Baltistan's Stance:

 After all the above mentioned things, now Gilgit-Baltistan The district diamar of particular is mentioned in some of the few reservations and demands of many people. There were protests and negotiations in various times regarding Ramadan. Attempts of Haji Gandal Shah and Elementatullah North are valuable. On February 2010, people of Chillas were protesting protest against their demands, the same police police opened fire on which three people were martyred and many were wounded, the protest process was tough, an action committee, whose chairman Mr. Atiullah is a contract between the Academy Action Committee and Huuku.

3. 12-12-08-2004 judgment will be processed regarding respect to Das. Harappan Das's returns of Thunder and other lands which will be immediately connected with the desire of WAPDA. The government projects which were constructed in Harappan Das etc. were paid to the Government of Gilgit-Baltistan and there will be no responsibility for WAPDA.

Apart from this, the government has to accept the consensus and acceptable demands of the government, as well as fixed rates for commercial, agricultural, landlord and other land.

The future of Diamer Bhasha Dam and Gilgit-Baltistan:

Writing for the future of Gilgit-Baltistan regarding the construction of Diamar Bhasha dam, it is pre-written, we have an opportunity to analyze some aspects of thought and imagination. Educational Future can be written in detail about the Industrial Future (Industrial Future) and unemployment. There is a need to have a permanent pen on topics related to the subject, however shortening of the subject In general, a few words are assigned.

From the mentioned dam, the construction work of real estate staff, old government buildings can be opened and new government buildings can be brought into existence, and roads which are far from the basic needs of roads like electricity and electricity can be managed cheaply and efficiently. And to provide new schools in remote villages remote education, renovation of old schools and high school enrollment in colleges and Inter Colleges can provide affordable education to poor people. And gymnastics studies can be avoided from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar and other cities, especially in the form of Schedule and Charter, according to the approved Schedule and Charter, namely, by establishing universities campus in all districts, Gilgit Baltistan Taliban sciences and tetanus artifacts can be saved from greatest depression. If the situation in establishing religious seminaries in such a manner will be helpful, the scholars will be able to serve the Muslims of Gilgit-Baltistan by establishing religious seminaries under the federal government, and establishing a positive passion of religion and basic principles of religion. You can guide them through their beliefs, and guide them with the right to education, socialism, secularism, preachers, scholars, scholars, lawyers, engineers, doctors, economists, politicians, writers, journalists, and others. Reggae will be born, which will create a unique and ideal society in Gilgit-Baltistan The universe is humble and intelligent

There will be hundreds of industries, factories and factories that will be economically affordable in industrial quantities, so that these industries and other governmental institutions will be given thousands of constitutions in the new purpose, which will include the specialty of young people of Gilgit-Baltistan. The winning segment will be able to get rid of the tragedy of unemployment, and they will be able to develop, fruitful flowers, bright future, successes of success, and they will be able to create stars, Iqbal's Shahin and Nanotavi's successes. Traders will expand their trade to Lakhan Kashghar, Kashmir, Chitral and other areas. It is possible that the government should approve the legitimate basic demands of the government of Gilgit-Baltistan, especially the "District Diamer" and do not adopt a dual policy with them. May Allah be with us.

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم مکمل تجزیہ

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم، جسکے لیے حکومت پاکستان اور سپریم کورٹ نے فنڈ  قائم کیا ہے ۔اور اسکو نا گزیر قرار دیا ہے، گلگت 

بلتستان کے ضلع دیامیر میں واقع ہے۔کی تمام تر تفصیلات سے پہلے ہم ذکر کریں گے گلگت بلتستان ،کا۔ 

یہ ایک مسلمہ حقیقت ہے کہ گلگت بلتستان کا خطہ قدررتی وسائل،قسم ہاقسم معدنیات،جنگلات،گلیشئیر، صاف شفاف آبشاروں ، آبی ذخائر، خشک میوہ،سلاجیت، جنت نظیر حسین و جمیل وادیوں اور بلند و بالا پہاڑوں کا دیس ہے۔ دفاعی حوالے سے حساس، جغرافیائی اعتبار سے انتہائی اہم اور سیاحتی حوالے سے نہایت خوبصورت،دلچسپ،دلربا اور جاذب النظر ہے۔ 27469 مربع میل پر محیط یہ علاقہ1947 تک ڈوگرہ راج کے زیر تسلط تھا۔پاکستان کی آزادی کے بعد یکم نومبر 1947 کو گلگت بلتستان کے غیور مسلمانوں نے اپنی مدد آپ جہاد کر کے یہاں سے ڈوگرہ راج کو چلتا کر دیااور غیر مشروط طور پر پاکستان کے ساتھ اسکا الحاق کردیا۔یہ اس بات کی واضح دلیل ہے کہ گلگت بلتستان کے لوگ باسیان پاکستان سے زیادہ پاکستان سے مودّت و محبت کرتے ہیں 

اس وادی جنّت نظیر کی سرحدیں بیک وقت چین،بھارت،افغانستان،تاجکستان،چترال اور کشمیر سے ملتی ہیں ۔ اس میں سات اضلاع اور سولہ تحصیلیں ہیں اور چھوٹے بڑے کم و بیش 1000 گائوں آباد ہیں ۔ دنیا کی اہم ترین چوٹیاں کے ٹو، نانگاپربت،کوہ ہمالیہ،کوہ قراقرم، کوہ ہندوکش،پامیراور شنگھریلا، دیوسائی،فیری میڈو، راما جھیل،گیٹی داس، ہنزہ جیسی خوبصورت جگہیں اس خطے کے حصہ میں آئی ہیں ۔ دفاعی حوالے سے لدّاخ سیکٹر،کارگل،سیاچن اور گلتری باڈرز شامل ہیں جو ملک کے حساس ترین باڈرز شمار ہوتے ہیں

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کا تعارف و پس منظر:

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کے لئے جس جگہ کا انتخاب کیاگیا ہے وہ ضلع دیامر کا ہیڈ کوارٹر چلاس سے تقریباََ40 کلو میٹر کے فاصلے پر ’’تھور گاؤں ،، میں واقع ہے ۔ دریا سندھ کے بائیں طرف داریل و تانگیر جو کہ سب ڈویژن چلاس کا علاقہ ہے اور دائیں طرف شاہراہ قراقرم بھاشا نالہ تک چلاس سب ڈویژن کا علاقہ ہے جبکہ ڈوڈیشال داریل کے بالمقابل بھاشا پولیس چوکی کوہستان ایریا دکھائی دیتی ہے حالانکہ قدیمی ریکارڈ کے مطابق بھاشا نالہ تک کا علاقہ چلاس کے عملداری میں آتا ہے۔

پاکستان کے شمال میں دریا سندھ پر بنایا جانے والا یہ ڈیم چلاس ٹاؤن بہاؤ کا رخ ٠٤کلو میٹر صوبہ خیبر پختون خواہ اور گلگت بلتستان کی سرحد پر تعمیر کیا جائے گا۔اس ذخیرے کا 98فیصد حصہ گلگت بلتستان میں واقع ہوگا جبکہ پاور ہاؤس صوبہ خیبر پختون خواں میں واقع ہونگے۔2013 کے تخمینے کے مطابق اس ڈیم پر 14.6بلین امریکی ڈالر(یعنی 13 ٹرلین پاکستانی روپے) کی لاگت آئے گی ۔

حال ہی میں چیف جسٹس آف پاکستان جناب ثاقب نثار نے اعلان کیا  تھا کہ ہنگامی بنادوں پر پاکستان کو ڈیموں کی ضرورت ہے ورنہ آنے والی نسلوں کو شدید مشکلات پیش آ سکتی ہیں اور پاکستان پانی کی شدید مشکلات کا شکار ہو جائے گا۔ اسی سلسلے میں انھوں نے ڈیم فند کا قیام عمل میں لایا جس میں تمام پاکستانیوں کو حصہ ڈالنے کی اپیل کی ۔ڈیم فنڈ میں ابھی تک 3 ارب 33 کروڑ روپے جمع ہو چکے ہیں ۔

 یہ ہائیڈروپاور منصوبہ4500 میگاواٹ بجلی پیدا کرنے کی صلاحیت رکھتاہے ۔اس ڈیم کی لمبائی 35 سو فٹ،چورائی 2ہزار فٹ،اونچائی 660فٹ اور سطح سمندر سے اس کی بلندی 35سو فٹ ہو گی اور 6.4ملین ایکٹرفٹ پانی ذخیرہ کیا جاسکے گا۔ڈیم کی دیوار کی اونچائی 270میٹر ہوگی ، دریائے سندھ کے پانی کے سال بھر کا بہاؤ کا 15فیصد اس میں ذخیرہ ہوگا۔دنیا میں سب سے ز یادہ بلندی پر بنائے جانے والے اس ڈیم کی عمر 100سال ہوگی اور اس میں ریت جمع نہ ہوگی اور اس ڈیم کی تعمیر  2023   تک  مکمل کر لی جائیگی۔

ڈیم کے منصو بے کے ڈیزائن کے مطابق اس ہائیڈرو پاور منصوبے میں دو موڑ یا سرنگیں اور منصوبے کے مقام پر پانی کے بہاؤ کا رخ دو حائطہ بند (Cofferdams) بنائے جائیگے۔ منصوبے میں دو پاور ہاؤس ہونگے جسمیں 375 میگاواٹ صلاحیت کے 12یونٹ ہونگے اور دو پاور ہاؤس سے سالانہ اوسطاََ Gwh18000کی پیداوار کا تخمینہ لگایا گیا ہے اور یہ سارا ذخیرہ بالعموم گلگت بلتستان بالخصوص ضلع دیامرمیں واقع ہوگا

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم اپنی نوعیت کاایک مثالی ڈیم ہوگا۔اس ڈیم کی اہمیت و فوائد کا اندازہ ڈیم کی افتتاحی تقریب میں صدر مشرف کے ان الفاظ سے لگایا جا سکتا ہے ۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ ’’ پانی اور توانائی ہمارے لیئے زندگی اور موت کا مسئلہ ہے،تیس سال سے ملک میں کوئی ڈیم نہ بننے کے باعث پانی کی ایک بڑی مقدار سمندر میں چلی جاتی ہے جبکہ وسیع ارضی بنجر پڑی ہے۔ملک میں بڑھتی ہوئی آبادی کیلئے پانی کی ضرورت بڑھ رہی ہے‘‘ بعد میں انہوں نے ریڈیو اور ٹی وی پر قوم سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے ڈیم کی عدم تعمیر کو خودکشی قرار دیا۔

دیا مر بھاشا ڈیم ترقی کی راہ پر اہم پیش رفت ہے ملک میں وقفے کے بعد 14.6 بلین امریکی لاگت سے تعمیر ہونے والے اس کثیر المقاصد ڈیم کی تعمیر خوش آئند ہے ۔ ڈیامر بھاشا ڈیم سے نہ صرف گلگت بلتستان میں تعمیر و خوشحالی آئیگی بلکہ اس کا فائدہ سندھ تک پہنچ جائیگا اور 6.4 ملین ایکڑ فٹ پانی دیامر سے ٹھٹھ تک مختلف علاقوں کو سیراب کرتے ہوئے سمندر میں گرے گا۔ واپڈا کے مطابق یہ منصو بہ نہ صرف پانی سے بجلی پیدا کرے گابلکہ اس سے آبپاشی کے کثیر فوائد بھی حاصل ہونگے۔کم بہاؤ کے دنوں میں ذخیرہ شدہ پانی زرعی استعمال کیلئے روز گار کے مواقع ہونگے اور منصو بے سے سیلاب کی روک تھام اور دریا ئے سندھ میں گاد جمع ہونے کیلئے عمل پر کنٹرول کیا جائے سکے گا۔

مختصراً ڈیم کی تعمیر کو ڈیم کی فزیبلٹی رپورٹ سے لیکراب تک ارباب اقتدار ، وزرائ اعظم ، چاروں وزرائے اعلی،گورنر اور تمام سیاسی و مذہبی لیڈران لازمی قرار دے رہے ہیں اس سے اسکی اہمیت واضح ہو جاتی ہے۔دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کی سب سے بڑی اہمیت یہ ہے کہ اس کی تعمیر سے ملک زرعی و صنعتی ترقی پر گامزن ہوگا کیونکہ پانی زندگی بھی ہے اور دولت بھی،اسی دولت سے زمین ہری ہوجاتی ہے، صنعتوں کیلئے توانائی ملتی ہے ۔غربت کے عفریت کم ہو جاتے ہیں اور بیروز گاری کے سائے دور ہو جاتے ہیں تب ہی تو ملک کے صدور، وزرائ اعظمائ ،اور انکی کابینیں کالا باغ ڈیم کی تعمیر کو (سیاسی دباؤ میں آکر )ملتوی کرکے دیا مر بھاشا ڈیم کے تعمیراتی پلان پر زور وشور سے کام کی تکمیل چاہتے ہیں اور تمام سیاسی و مذہبی اور حکومتی و اپوزیشنی رہنمائ و زعمائ اتفاق رائے کے دعوے کر رہے ہیں مگر افسوس انکی کج روی پر کہ گلگت بلتستان کے لوگوں کو روز اوّل سے مایوس کرتے آرہے ہیں اور اب تلک باسیان ارض شمال کو مکمل اتفاق رائے میں شامل نہ کرکے اور مسلسل انکو نظر انداز کرکے اپنی ہٹ دھڑمی ،بغض و عناد اور خواہشات نفسانی کا بین ثبوت دے رہے ہیں ۔اہلیان گلگت بلتسا ن نہ ڈیم کے پہلے مخالف تھے نہ اب ہیں وہ تو صر ف اپنے نقصانات کا ازالہ اور جائز مطالبات کا رونا رو رہے ہیں ۔

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کےکچھ منفی اثرات:

دنیا میں ایسا کوئی بھی عمل نہیں جس کے سو فیصد مثبت اثرات ہی ہوں ۔ یہ ایک بدیہی امر ہے کہ ڈیم کی تعمیر کا منصوبہ نہایت شاندار اور قابل تعریف ہے مگر شو مئی قسمت ڈیم کا نام متنازعہ بنا دیا گیا۔ یہ بھی اظہر من الشمس ہے کہ ڈیم کی تعمیر سے تمام تر علاقہ گلگت بلتسان کا تیسرا بڑا اور سب سے پسماندہ ضلع دیامر کے ہیڈ کوارٹر چلاس کا 80 فیصد زیر آب آئیگااور سب ڈویژن چلاس اور داریل و تانگیر کی آبادی متاثر ہوگی جسمیں کھنبری گاؤں ، بصری نالہ، گینے گاؤں ، تھور نالہ ، ہوڈر گاؤں ، تھلپنٹ، گیس بالا،گیس پائن، بونر داس، ڈرنگ داس، جلی پور گاؤں ، گونر فارم، شاہین کوٹ، سونیوال ،اور گوہرآباد اور رائیکوٹ تک کے نشیبی علاقوں کی تمام آبادیاں شامل ہیں ۔اس کے علاوہ زرعی قابل کاشت اراضی اور بنجر ارضیات بھی متاثر ہونگی اور شتیال تارائیکوٹ تقریباً 80سے 150کلو میٹر تک شاہراہ قراقرم بھی غرقابی کا شکار ہوگی جوکہ تمام تر ’’ ضلع دیامر‘‘ کے حدود سے گزرتی ہے۔

 فیلڈ وزٹ رپورٹ اکتوبر 2008، کے مطابق 200مربع کلومیٹر کا یہ ذخیرہ شاہراہ قراقرم کے 100کلو میٹر پر مشتمل حصہ کو بہا لے گا اور 28000نفوس پر مشتمل گاؤں ختم ہوجائینگے اور تقریباً 50ہزار پرانی چٹانوں پر موجود کھدائیوں کو تباہ کر دے گا دیامر بھاشا ڈیم ،

واپڈا کے مطابق 27گاؤں ڈیم کے ذخیرے میں بہہ جائیگے۔ یہ تمام گاؤں یا تو دریا سندھ کے کناروں پر واقع ہیں یا اس کے شا خو ں پر ۔ علاقے کے طبعی اور جغرافیائی خصوصیات کی مد نظر رکھتے ہوئے یہ بات فوری سمجھ میں آجاتی ہے کہ ڈیم کے مجوّزہ مقام کے ارد گرد زمین بہت قیمتی ہے۔ انسانی آبادی اور زرعی سرگرمیوں کیلئے تر چھے پہاڑوں میں زیاد ہ ہموار جگہ موجود نہیں ، یہاں یہ بات ذہن میں رہے کہ مقامی لوگوں کے مطابق 31سے بھی زیادہ گاؤں اور بستیاں متاثر ہونگیں ۔ 3115 گھر ختم  ہونگےجن کو حکومت نے متبادل کے لیے قیمت ادا کرنے کا کام 2008 سے شروع کر رکھا ہے اور 1500زیادہ ایکڑ زمین ذخیرہ میں زیر آب آئیگی۔۔

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کی تعمیر سے وہاں کے قدیمی ثقافتی ورثے کو سخت خطرات لاحق ہیں ۔ مجوّزہ مقام پر چٹانوں پر کندہ بدھا کی تصاویر ہیں اور وادی سندھ کے اوپری حصوں میں بہت ساری قدیم کندہ چٹانیں ہیں جن کی عالمگیر اہمیت واضح ہے۔ایک تحقیقاتی ٹیم نے آبی ذخائر کیلئے مجوّزہ زمین پر کندہ چٹانوں کا تفصیلی دورہ کیا اور Heidel Berg یو نیو رسٹی کے پروفیسر Harald Hauptmann اور واپڈا کے حکام ے آبی ذخائر کے متعلق تفصیلی گفت و شنید کی۔ ایک اور ریسرچ ٹیم نے 2008 میں مقامی لوگوں سے کندہ چٹانوں کے متعلق انٹر ویو کیے۔ کندہ چٹانوں اور بالائی سندھ میں چٹانوں پرلکھائی کا مرکز چلاس ضلع دیامر میں ہے جوکہ وسطی اور جنوبی ایشیائ کی ثقافتی تاریخ کے مطالعہ کیلئے ایک نایاب ذریعہ ہے اور جس کے بہت سے قدیم راستے قدیم سلک روٹ کے ورثے کو ظاہر کرتے ہیں ۔

جرمنی میں اکیڈمی بر ائے سائنس اور بشریات کے پروفیسر Harald Hauptmann کی ہدایت کے تحت اس مواد کی تیاری اور طبع کیا جارہا ہے۔صرف دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کے مجوّزہ علاقے میں 88 آثار قدیمہ کے مقامات میں جن میں 68 کندھ چٹانوں کے کمپلکس ہیں ۔ کل 5,157 پتھر اور چٹانوں پر 36.187 کندھ چیزیں ہیں جن میں مختلف زبانوں کے 3610 تحریریں ہیں جو کہ اس علاقے سے متعلق مطلو بہ ہیں ۔ مختلف سائز کے پتھر وں اور چٹانوں پرعبارتیں دریا کے کنارے اور پوری وادی میں پھیلی ہوتی ہیں ۔ اس چٹانوں پر تاریخ کے ابتدائی ادوار سے لیکر اسلام کی آمد تک تصاویر کندھ ہیں بالخصوص وہاں بدھا آرٹ کثرت سے موجود ہیں جوکہ بین الاقوامی دنیا کی توجہ کا مرکز ہے۔ 1989سےHeidel Berg یو نیو رسٹی کے اس مشن نے ماہرین آثار قدیمہ اور جغر افیائی مطالعہ کر نے والے ماہرین کو چلاس میں لایا اور ان کندھ عبارتوں اور تصاویر کو ماپا،تفصیلی جائزہ لیا، تصاویریں لیں اور انکی درجہ بندی کی۔ مذکورہ اعداد و شمار سے اندازہ لگایا جاسکتا ہے کہ ڈیم کی تعمیر سے ثقافتی ورثے کو کتنا نقصان پہنچتا ہے اور کتنے تحقیق و ریسرچ کے دروازے بند ہو جاتے ہیں ۔

سونیوال کوٹ اور وادی کھنبری کی کہانی 

ہرے بھرے لمبے درختوں کے درمیان ایک خوبصورت گاؤں سونیوال دریائے سندھ اور تھور نالہ کے جنکشن میں واقع ہے ۔ یہ گاؤں 100 گھرانوں پر مشتمل ہے ۔گاؤں میں بڑے بڑے پھلدار درخت ہیں اور آبشاروں اور ندی نالوں کا شفّاف پانی دریائے سندھ میں شامل ہو کر اپنی شناخت کھو دیتا ہے ۔ یہ مقامی لوگ سونے کی تلاش، مویشی پالنے اور کھیتی باڑی کا کام کرتے ہیں اور انکی زرعی زمیں کا 300تا 350کنال حصہ زیر آب آئیگا۔ یہی انکا ذریعہ معاش ہے اور یہ لوگ پہاڑوں میں نہیں رہنا چاہتے ہیں ۔

اسی طرح ایک اور وادی کھنبری جو ڈیم کے بالکل قریب میں واقع ہے۔ڈیم کی دیوار وادی سے صرف دو کلو میڑ پر ہوگی وادی کے تمام چھ گاؤں جوسوکم ، چنگ چار ، ناروت، نیما،بالاوٹ اور نرارآبی ذخیرے میں بہہ جائیں گے۔یہ آبادیاں تقریباً 100برس قدیم ہیں اور سونا تلاش کرتی ہیں ۔ ان لوگوں کو جنگلات پر کوئی اختیار ات حاصل نہیں ہے وہ کالنگ ادا کرکے جنگلاتی وسائل کو اسستعمال کرنے کیلئے محدود اختیارات حاصل کرتے ہیں ۔ وادی مچھلیوں اور دوسرے آبی حیات سے مالا مال ہے۔ زمیں زرخیز ہے لوگ آناج، سبزیاں اور پھلدار درخت لگاتے ہیں ۔

سونیوال کوٹ اور کھنبری کے لوگوں کا کہنا ہے کہ ڈیم کی تعمیر سے پاکستان اور گلگت بلتستان خوشحال اور ترقی کرتا ہے تو ہمیں کوئی اعتراض نہیں ، ہمیں صر ف ایک مناسب معاوضہ چاہیے تاکہ ہم سب اکھٹے آباد ہوجائیں ۔ ہم علیحدہ علیحدہ ہونا نہیں چاہتے ہیں ،انہیں شدید خدشہ ہے اور یہ لوگ سوچتے ہیں کہ: حکو مت کوکوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا ہے اگر ہم نیست و نابود بھی ہوجائیں ۔حکو مت ہمیں مناسب آدائیگی نہیں کریگی،تربیلہ کے لوگ ابھی تک منتظر ہیں ۔وہ لوگ ہر لحاظ سے طاقتور تھے اور ہم نحیف و کمزور ہیں ۔شومئی قسمت اس پر مستزاد یہ کہ گلگت بلتستان کی حکومت،ا ہلیان دیامر اور ایکشن کمیٹی دیامر بھاشا ڈیم بھی ان دونوں وادیوں کیلئے کوئی پلان نہیں رکھتی اور انکی غرقابی اور بربادی میں کسی کو کوئی فکر نہیں ۔

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم اور گلگت بلتستان کا مستقبل:

دیامر بھاشا ڈیم کی تعمیر کے حوالے سے گلگت بلتستان کے مستقبل کے بارے کچھ کہنایا لکھنا قبل از وقت ہوگاتاہم فکر و تخیل کی حد تک چند ایک پہلوؤں پر تجزیہ کی گنجائش ہے۔ مثلاًترقیاتی مستقبل (Development Future) تعلیمی مستقبل (Educational Future) صنعتی مستقبل (Industrail Future) اور بے روز گاری کے بارے میں تفصیل سے لکھا جاسکتا ہے۔مذکورہ بالا موضوعات پر مستقل قلم اٹھانے کی ضرورت ہے تاہم مضمون کی طوالت سے گریزاں کرتے ہوئے مختصر و اجمالاً چند کلمات سپرد کیے جاتے ہیں ۔

مذکورہ ڈیم سے ترقیاتی کاموں مثلاًسڑکوں کی تعمیر و تصحیح،پرانی سرکاری عمارتوں کی بوسیدگی کاخاتمہ اور نئے سرکاری عمارتوں کو وجود میں لایا جاسکتا ہے اور جو دیہات اب تک روڈ اور بجلی جیسی بنیادی ضرورتوں سے محروم ہیں وہاں روڈ اور بجلی کا سستا انتظام کیا جاسکتا ہے۔اور تعلیمی حوالے سے دور دراز دیہاتوں میں نئے اسکولوں کا قیام اور پرانے اسکولوں کی تزئین و آرائش اورتمام ہائی اسکولوں کو انٹر کالجز اور انٹر کالجز کو ڈگری کالجز میں ترقی دیکر غریب عوام کو سستی تعلیم مہیا کی جاسکتی ہے۔ اور تشنگان علوم کو کراچی ،لاہور،اسلام آباد، پشاور اور دیگر شہروں میں در بدر ہونے سے بچایا جاسکتا ہے بالخصوص قراقرم انٹر نیشنل یونیورسٹی کو منظور شدہ شیڈول و چارٹر کے مطابق ڈھال کر یعنی تمام ضلعوں میں یونیورسٹی کے کیمپس قائم کر کے گلگت بلتستان کے طالبان علوم و تشنگان فنون کو سب سے بڑی ڈپریشن سے نجات دلائی جاسکتی ہے۔ اس طرح علمائ کیلئے دینی مدارس قائم کرنے کے حالات سازگار ہونگے تو علمائ کرام وفاق المدارس کے ماتحت دینی مدارس قائم کرکے گلگت بلتستان کے مسلمانوں کی صحیح طریقے سے خدمت کر سکیں گے اور ان میں دین اسلام کا مثبت جذبہ پیدا کرکے اور بنیادی دینی اصول و عقائدسے آگاہ کرکے انکی درست رہنمائی کر سکتے ہیں اور انہی تعلیمی اداروں سے علمائ کرام،صلحائ عظام،خطبائ دین،مبلغین، مفسرین،محدثین، وکلائ، انجینےرز ، ڈاکٹرز،معیشت دان، سیاستدان، ادیب، صحافی اور دیگر شعبہ ہائے زندگی کیلئے ممتاز رجال کار پیدا ہونگے جس سے گلگت بلتستان میں ایک منفرد اور مثالی معاشرہ قائم ہوگا جسکا عالم انسانیت متمنی اور متلاشی ہے

اسی طرح صنعتی اعتبار سے بجلی وافر مقدار میں سستی مہیا ہوگی تو سینکڑوں صنعتیں ، کارخانے اور فیکٹریاں قائم ہونگی اس طرح ان صنعتوں اور دیگر سرکاری و پرائیویٹ اداروں جو نئے معرض وجود میں آئینگے میں ہزاروں اسامیاں آئینگی جس سے گلگت بلتستان کے عوام بالخصوص نوجوان تعلیم یافتہ طبقہ بیروز گاری کے دلدل سے چھٹکارا پا سکے گااور ان کیلئے ترقی، پھلنے پھولنے ، روشن مستقبل، کامیابی کے شاندار مو اقع ملیں گے اور ان میں ستاروں پر کمند ڈالنے،اقبال کا شاہین اور نانوتوی کے جانشیں بننے کی صلاحیتیں پیدا ہونگیں ۔ تاجر حضرات اپنی تجارت میں وسعت لاکر کاشغر، کشمیر،چترال اور دیگر علاقوں تک پھیل سکیں گے۔ یہ سب کچھ اس وقت ممکن ہے جب حکومت پاکستان گلگت بلتستان بالخصوص ’’ ضلع دیامر‘‘ کے جائز بنیادی مطالبات کو فراخدلی سے منظور کرے اور انکے ساتھ دوغلی پالیسی اختیار نہ کرے۔ اللہ ہم سب کا حامی و ناصر ہو۔

Robot cars send new images of asteroids ryugu

A space car has sent this photo from the surface of the planet

Japan's space agency has taken two robots of vehicles on a planet and has made a new date and now the robot vehicles are sending pictures of planet surface to the ground.

Both of these vehicles were sent from the planet called Heabausa-2, which was chasing around a kilometer wide planet, 'Rio'.

These vehicles will measure the temperature of the planet and take pictures of it. Ryugu's gravity is very low which can easily bounce the vehicles there.


The Japanese space agency confirmed the week, 'Both vehicles are in good condition, are going on the planets and taking pictures.'

Hoyabusa-2 This year, June 2, a 32-year-old Rugo planet was reached after a three-year journey.

What is its importance

Earlier, the European Space Agency has dropped space space on a daunting star, but it is the first time the car has been mounted on a planet.

Planets are primarily from the remains of the system solar. 60 billion years ago, the saved material could not work in the form of planets and sunsets, making it a planet.

Riyo is a specially ancient planet, and research will be able to get information about the initial conditions of the solar system and the formation of the earth.

Wide angle and stereo cameras are installed in one kilograms of metallic vehicles, from which they are sending photos and photos back to the ground. In addition, they are also sensor that can measure the temperature of the surface of the planet.

These vehicles can run with the help of motors.

The surface of the planet is dark and it turns around its axis every three and seven hours.

On October 3, the Habibasa-2 spacecraft will be on the surface of the planet itself and will get samples of soil and rock.

After that, scientists will try to get samples from the bottom of the radius at the bottom of the surface.

Later the spacecraft will bring these samples to the ground in 2020 so that they can be studied further.

Now you can earn money by hosting a International or Local guests. Make hospitality, make money

Monetize your room:

If your are living in home and one room is empty, or if your house is empty you can monetize that home by sharing your space to guest. Even if you are in hostel you can do this as well.
Some times some of your guest came to your home that is not your relative and you let me stay in separate drawing room, that is same we are discussing. But here you can earn up to 1000 dollars per month by sharing space or hosting a guest.

We will talk about the international multi national company  Airbnb. A‌i‌r‌b‌n‌b‌,‌ ‌I‌n‌c‌.‌ (airbnb.com) is a company based in San Francisco that operates an online marketplace and hospitality service. It allows people to lease or rent short-term lodging including holiday cottages, apartments, home stays, hostel beds, or hotel rooms, to participate in or facilitate experiences related to tourism such as walking tours, and to make reservations at restaurants. The company does not own any real estate or conduct tours; it is a broker that receives percentage service fees in conjunction with every booking. The company has over 5 million lodging listings in 81,000 cities and 191 countries and has facilitated over 300 million check in

There is no worrying about  who will be the guest ? what kind of people will they ? no .. as you have to register to that company after submitting Govt required documents. The company will register you their complete verification. As well as the guest will also registered with that company.
 Airbnb helps make sharing easy, enjoyable, and safe. They verify personal profiles and listings, maintain a smart messaging system so hosts and guests can communicate with certainty, and manage a trusted platform to collect and transfer payments.on the other hand you (Host) will be Insured under the the Host Protection Insurance, 
The Host Protection Insurance program provides primary liability coverage for up to $1,000,000 (One Million Dollar) per occurrence in the event of a third-party claim of bodily injury or property damage related to an Airbnb stay.

This coverage is subject to a $1,000,000 cap per listing location, and certain conditions, limitations, and exclusions may apply. Review the list of the covered countries.

The Host Protection Insurance program will only act as the primary insurance coverage for incidents related to an Airbnb stay, but it's available to hosts regardless of their other insurance arrangements.

Here are some examples of what the Host Protection Insurance program should cover:

• A guest breaks their wrist after slipping on the rug and brings a claim for the injury against the host.
• A guest is working out on the treadmill in the gym of the apartment building. The treadmill breaks and the guest is injured when they fall off. They bring a claim for the injury against the host and the landlord.
• A guest accidentally drops their suitcase on a third party's foot in the building lobby. The third party brings a claim for the injury against the host and the landlord of the host’s building.

Some examples of what the Host Protection Insurance program doesn’t cover:

• Intentional acts where liability isn’t the result of an accident.
• Accusations of slander or defamation of character.
• Property issues (ex: mold, bed bugs, asbestos, pollution).
• Auto accidents (ex: vehicle collisions).

For now, this policy only applies to hosts in covered countries. They’re working hard to expand this and other programs to hosts around the world. You can find the list of the covered countries at www.airbnb.com/host-protection-insurance.

How is the price determined for my reservation?

• Local taxes—Any taxes charged based on the location of the host's listing

Note: Security deposits are only charged if the host needs to make a claim.

Qatar Increases its Visa Openness

Qatar has become the most open country in the Middle East and the 8th most open in the world in terms of visa facilitation. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) recently updated its visa openness rankings, confirming Qatar’s recent visa facilitation improvements including allowing nationals of 88 countries to enter Qatar visa-free and free-of-charge.
Actions Qatar has taken to improve visa facilitation include introducing an online platform for efficient and transparent visa processing and e-visas, as well as a free 96-hour transit visa doubling the time stopover passengers can remain in the country.
As a result of these measures, Qatar’s visa openness ranking has leapt to 8th in the world from 177th back in 2014. Since the introduction of these changes, year-on-year arrivals from India have grown 18%, from China 43% and from Russia a huge 366%. None of these markets now need a visa to visit Qatar.
In 2014, Qatar commissioned a visa facilitation study for the country, which UNWTO prepared based on its global openness data. “Qatar has implemented and overachieved the recommendations of the study, setting an example by spearheading safe and seamless travel, enhancing the visitor experience and better placing itself to improve mobility for its citizens,” said UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili.
“Openness and ease of access are crucial elements of the visitor experience. We have committed to making it a seamless experience, even as visitors plan their journey. We will continue to work with our partners on streamlining the immigration process at Qatar’s ports of entry, as well as ensuring that all visitor visas and visa procedures are electronic,” said Hassan Al Ibrahim, Qatar Tourism Authority’s chairman.
UNWTO measures the mobility of citizens based on their ability to travel seamlessly to other countries. While Qatar currently ranks 106th in the world in terms of mobility, 20 of the countries benefiting from the Qatari visa waiver are already reciprocating, enhancing the mobility of Qatar’s citizens.
Facilitating seamless travel is crucial to the continued promotion of tourism as a development vehicle and potential pillar of achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Qatar’s travel facilitation improvements coincide with progress made in visa facilitation worldwide. For example, Belarus recently made visa-free travel available for 30 days to citizens of 74 countries travelling through Minsk airport. UNWTO’s global visa openness index score has increased from 31 in 2014 to 37 in 2018.

France announced opportunity to apply EU Blue card . Apply Online

We are going to tell you  a good news about the new announcement of Europium Blue card for France. That you can apply online without Huge bank statements .
France is the second economy in Europe, after Germany. Important industrial sectors in France are telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, ship building and vehicle production.  The Energy sector accounts for numerous jobs. Debts account for 12% of household assets, which is considered relatively low.

Demography

Some 66 million people live in the France Republic. 2.7 million of these people live in French overseas territories, e.g. French Guiana.
Migration
In the years after WWII there was tremendous economic growth, this led to an increased demand for workers to fill the numerous job openings. Employers quickly found new employees in former French colonies, mainly in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. To date, this accounts for a migration figure of 1.6 million persons from North African countries. France is an immigration country with a relatively high fertility rate of 2.01. Immigration accounts for one quarter of the population growth.

Employment

A standard working week for regular jobs in France is 35 hours. The idea behind the short working week is that it would lead to more people getting hired. So far statistics do not prove this theory, this is mainly blamed on the fact that it is difficult for employers to lay off people when faced with an economic downturn.
