Sukkur Rohri: A City Shrouded in Fog

Sukkur Rohri is a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan, located on the banks of the Indus River. It is known for its historical and cultural heritage, as well as its strategic location as a major railway junction. However, in the winter season, Sukkur Rohri faces a different challenge: fog.

     Fog is a phenomenon that occurs when water droplets or ice crystals suspend in the air near the earth’s surface, reducing visibility. Fog can be caused by various factors, such as temperature, humidity, wind, and topography. In Sukkur Rohri, fog is mainly influenced by the river and the surrounding plains, which create a humid and cool environment.

     According to the National Weather Forecasting Centre of Pakistan, fog conditions are common in Sukkur Rohri from December to February, especially during the night and early morning hours. The visibility can drop to as low as 150 to 250 meters, affecting the traffic and transportation in the city. The fog also poses a risk for the health and safety of the residents, as it can cause respiratory problems, eye irritation, and accidents.

     To cope with the fog, the authorities and the citizens have adopted various measures, such as installing fog lights, using fog horns, wearing masks, and avoiding unnecessary travel. The National Highways and Motorway Police also issue regular fog reports and advisories for the drivers and commuters, urging them to follow the safety guidelines and precautions.

     Despite the challenges, some people also find beauty and charm in the foggy scenes of Sukkur Rohri. The fog creates a mystical and serene atmosphere, enhancing the historical and cultural landmarks of the city, such as the Sukkur Barrage, the Rohri Bridge, the Masoom Shah Minar, and the Sadh Belo Temple. Some photographers and artists also capture the foggy moments of Sukkur Rohri, showcasing the city’s unique and diverse character.

     Sukkur Rohri is a city that embraces its foggy winters, as it does with its other seasons. The fog is a part of the city’s identity, adding to its richness and complexity. Sukkur Rohri is a city that is not afraid of the fog, but rather, learns to live with it.

Sindh government demands explanation for CPEC motorway project cancellation

In a letter to caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar, caretaker chief minister Sindh Maqbool Baqir expressed his displeasure over the removal of Karachi-Hyderabad and Sukkur Motorway from the CPEC project by the federal government. He stated that no ‘specific reason’ was given for the decision to exclude the vital road link from the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He also pointed out that the Peshawar-Karachi Motorway project had completed all its major roads, except for the crucial M-Six segment from Hyderabad to Sukkur Abtik. He said that the lack of progress and execution on the ground was worrisome and the omission of the Karachi-Hyderabad and Sukkur Motorways added to the concerns

The Role and Challenges of School Districts in Public Education

A school district is a local authority that manages public schools for elementary or secondary education in various nations. In North America, particularly in the United States, school districts are widespread and have a lot of influence over how schools function and what they teach. Each school district has an education board that decides on school policies and rules. The board members may be chosen by the people who live in the district, appointed by a higher power, or have another method of getting their position. The education board also hires a superintendent, who is the head of the school district and supervises the daily running of the schools. School districts have different funding sources, depending on the state laws and local situations. Most school districts can collect taxes from the people and businesses in their area, within certain limits set by the state. Some school districts may also receive money from the state or federal government, or from other sources like donations or grants. School districts vary in size and quality. Some school districts may have only one school, while others may have hundreds of schools. Some school districts may have high academic standards and performance, while others may struggle with low test scores and graduation rates. Some school districts may offer a range of programs and services for students, such as special education, gifted education, bilingual education, or extracurricular activities, while others may have limited options. School districts are often subject to legal challenges and controversies. Some of the issues that school districts may face include student rights, teacher rights, school funding, school choice, curriculum, discipline, segregation, discrimination, and accountability. School districts may have to deal with lawsuits from parents, students, teachers, or other parties who are unhappy with the school district’s policies or actions. School districts may also have to follow the rules and regulations of the state and federal government, which may change over time.

Each school district has an education board that sets the school policies and regulations. The board members may be chosen by the district residents, assigned by a higher power, or have another method of obtaining their role. The education board also employs a superintendent, who is the head of the school district and supervises the daily running of the schools.

School districts have various funding sources, depending on the state laws and local situations. Most school districts can tax the people and businesses in their area, within certain boundaries set by the state. Some school districts may also receive money from the state or federal government, or from other sources like donations or grants.

School districts differ in their scale and quality. Some school districts may run only one school, while others may operate hundreds of schools. Some school districts may excel in academic standards and performance, while others may face low test scores and graduation rates. Some school districts may provide a range of programs and services for students, such as special education, gifted education, bilingual education, or extracurricular activities, while others may have few options.

     School districts often face legal issues and disputes. Some of the problems that school districts may encounter include student rights, teacher rights, school funding, school choice, curriculum, discipline,segregation, discrimination, and accountability. School districts may have to handle lawsuits from parents, students, teachers, or other parties who are dissatisfied with the school district’s policies or actions.School districts may also have to comply with the rules and regulations of the state and federal government, which may vary over time.

Protecting the Indus River Dolphins: A Call for Action

A recent meeting of Pakistani environmentalists and experts in Sukkur at the Indus River Dolphin Conservation Center, organised by WWF Pakistan, discussed the deaths of Indus River dolphins and urged for a complete ban on fishing in the dolphin reserve area. The meeting was prompted by the discovery of five dead dolphins last month, four of which were found near Rohri at the village of Ali Wahan. Three of the dead dolphins were females. Two of them were buried, while the other three were examined by WWF Pakistan conservationists Muhammad Imran, Liaqat Ali Khokhar, cetacean expert Francois Xavier Pelletier, and Sindh Wildlife Department staff. The examination revealed that the dolphins died from either net entanglement or chemical poisoning. Samples were collected for further testing and a report will be released after the analysis. Uzma Noureen, the project coordinator for the Indus River Dolphin Conservation Project (IRDCP), said that an action plan against the use of harmful chemicals will be developed once the samples are analysed. She also mentioned that a dolphin was rescued from the Nara Canal before the deaths were reported. Ghulam Mustafa Gopang, the district officer of the Sindh Fisheries Department, expressed his worry about the fishing practices and said that they need to be changed or improved. Taj Muhammad Sheikh, the deputy conservator of the wildlife department, demanded a ban on fishing in the dolphin reserve area. Abdul Sattar Saryo, the assistant engineer of the Irrigation Department, said that the department will offer any assistance to monitor the barrage gates, canals, and any other places where dolphins might be in trouble.  

     I appreciate that Pakistan is taking steps to protect its river dolphin population, but I think more needs to be done. This rare dolphin has lost 80% of its original habitat due to water scarcity, excessive use of agrochemicals in the river basin, and discharge of untreated wastewater. It has also suffered from illegal fishing methods that involve nets and poisons that kill the dolphins. These dolphins, along with their relatives the Ganges and Amazon River dolphins, are indicators of freshwater quality. They share their habitat with many other aquatic animals that depend on them. If these dolphins disappear, the whole ecosystem will be affected. That is why I strongly believe that serious measures should be taken to restore their populations. One way to do this is to raise awareness among the public about the status and importance of these dolphins. Another way is to educate the fishermen about the ecological role of these dolphins and how to avoid harming them. This way, the river dolphins can reclaim their ancestral range and thrive in their native rivers.

Mohenjo Daro: The Mound of the Dead Men

Mohenjo Daro: A Glimpse into the Past of Pakistan.

Mohenjo-daro Sindhi: موهن جو دڙو‎ Urdu: موئن جو دڑو Mound of the Dead Men Mohenjo Daro is an ancient city located in present-day Pakistan. It was built around 2500 B.C. on the flood plains of the Indus in what is now Pakistan. The city’s well-planned street grid and elaborate drainage system hint that its inhabitants were skilled urban planners with a reverence for the control of water.

      The city’s wealth and stature is evident in artefacts such as ivory, lapis, carnelian, and gold beads, as well as the baked-brick city structures themselves.  The city’s occupants were apparently modest, orderly, and clean, and preferred standardisation in pottery and tools of copper and stone. Seals and weights suggest a system of tightly controlled trade. The city lacked ostentatious palaces, temples, or monuments, and there was no obvious central seat of government or evidence of a king or queen.
