RT @365dotNews: سیلاب کی تباہ کاریاں ۔۔ قدرتی عمل یا Man Made Disaster؟.صرف ڈیمز ہی حل نہیں ۔۔ ہم نے ہر زمین کو پلاٹ سمجھ لیا!.#HeadOn #365….

My article "Manmade Disaster" in today's daily Dawn discusses adverse human interference in riverplains and watershed areas that intensified the recent floods and caused enormous losses. Pakistan needs to address the fundamental causes of catastrophe.

چالیس برس بعد آنے والے بڑے سیلاب کی بنیاد پر ڈیم تعمیر کرنا ایسے ہے جیسے دس دن کے بعد ایک کار گذرنے والی جگہ پر موٹروے تعمیر کیا جائے. ڈیمز کی ہائڈرولاجی اور جاگرافی جانے بغیر ایسے نسخے تجویز کرنے سے سیلاب کا علاج ممکن نہیں. پاپولزم سے ملک کا بھلا نہیں ہوگا، باقی آپ کی مرضی.

RT @geonews_urdu: ڈیمز بنانا ہر مرض کی دوا نہیں، پنجاب کے جن دریاؤں میں سیلاب ہے، ان پر ڈیمز کی تعمیر تقریبا ناممکن ہے، ماہر آبی وسائل نصیر….

Zohran Mamdani: He votes for activists, not you

کنویں کے اندر اگر بہت سارے مینڈک ایک ہی ردم میں نئے صوبوں کی ٹراں ٹراں کریں تو اس میں کمال میوزک ڈائریکٹر کا ہوتا ہے.

میڈیا کوریج سے اندازہ ہوا کہ کراچی کی ایک سڑک، بنیر کے ایک سو انسانی جانوں سے زیادہ توجہ کی حقدار ہے.

My article "Dissecting disaster" in today's daily Dawn debates on root causes of recent monsoon disaster in up country. Catastrophe were actually caused by bad infrastructure, lax law enforcement and irresponsible tourism. Overall itz a governance failure

My article "Living with Floods," in today's daily Dawn, discusses how the concept is changing from "controlling floods" to "living with floods". Riverine floodplains are meant for water. Blocking and choking the riverbed causes raging floods.

بلوچستان حکومت کہتی ہے کہ یہ واقعہ عید سے قبل ہوا تھا. سوال یہ ہے کہ اتنا عرصہ حکومت کیوں بے خبر یا لاتعلق رہی. اگر یہ وڈیونہ آتی تو یہ خون ناحق سینکڑوں ایسے واقعات کی طرح دفن ہوجاتا. ایسا کیوں ہے کہ قانون اور سرکار وڈیوز آنے تک ایسے کئی سنگین جرائم پر خاموش رہتے ہیں.

My article "Anatomy of Disaster" published in today's daily The News, discusses how monsoon rains have heaped miseries on people of Punjab and KP during recent days. Disaster management requires an increased focus on grassroots-level reaponse.

My article "Water Shortages: Present & Future" published in today's The News. The Indus River system does not have any surpluses to construct new dams. A prudent approach would be to enhance water productivity, thereby improving crop yield and production.

Always curious and full of energy, Beagles turn every walk into an adventure 🐾🎉.

Tragedies of Sawat, Lyari, Nagarparkar are deplorable. Official neglect in each case is evident. Perfunctory action of suspending few officials is a figleaf. Untill human lives are valued and systems are critically assessed and corrected, such incidents will continue to reoccur.

Few days back Hague court trashed Modi's unilateral suspension of IWT. Pakistan should reach out to international forums to secure it's water rights on Western Rivers as enshrined under IWT. Any diversion or storage at upstream in contravention to IWT would be completely illegal.

My article in today's daily Dawn discusses mounting anxiety with the onset of monsoon. Inadequate disaster management capacity and lack of timely preparedness is a major cause of consternation for people of Sindh.

Tourism in thia country has become as horrible as terrorism. Swat tragedy is heart wrenching

My today's article in daily Dawn discusses how as a knee-jerk reaction to the suspension of IWT, the campaign for new dams has been resuscitated. Dams require surplus water but flows in the Indus river system are plummeting.

According to Economic Survey, Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund distributed loans as follows.Punjab (79.36%), Sindh (12.35%),.Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (5.54%) and .Balochistan (1.53%). PPAF should review it's policy. Poverty stricken areas should get more under principle of fairness.

Dear @BBhuttoZardari are you aware that your Sindh govt has cancelled musical concert at Mpks mango festival under pressure of extremist elements. This retreat of GoS will cost us dearly. PPP should not capitulate before handful of extremist elements. Pls intervene.
