Пенджаб (Пакистан)

Пенджаб (урду پنجاب, пенджаб. ਪੰਜਾਬ, panjāb; англ. Punjab) — провінція на сході Пакистану. Це найбільша за населенням провінція країни, в якій мешкає близько 53 % її населення (у 2017 році 110 012 442 мешканців), столиця і найбільше місто — Лахор. Найпоширеніша мова — панджабі, також поширені урду, сарайкі, меваті, потоварі і пушту. 97,21 % населення Пенджабу — мусульмани, переважно суніти, є також і шиїтська меншість. Рівень грамотності на 2008 рік становить 79,7 %. Історія Пенджаб був частиною однієї з найдавніших цивілізацій світу — Індської (Хараппської). Руїни міста Хараппа, які знаходяться в сучасному Пенджабі, свідчать про високоорганізоване суспільство з розвиненою системою містобудування, торгівлі й письма. У II тисячолітті до н.е. арійські племена оселилися в регіоні, і саме тут виникли ранні тексти «Рігведи». Пенджаб називали «Сапта-Сіндгу» (земля семи річок) через його річкову систему. У VI ст. до н.е. регіон потрапив під владу Ахеменідів. У IV ст. до н.е. Олександр Македонський завоював Пенджаб, але після його смерті регіон став частиною імперії Маур'їв. У середньовіччі Пенджаб перебував під владою різних індійських династій, зокрема Гуптів і династії Гангу. Він також був важливим центром індуїзму й буддизму. У VIII–XII століттях мусульманські завоювання привели до поширення ісламу в регіоні. Пенджаб був інтегрований в Делійський султанат, а пізніше став частиною імперії Великих Моголів. У цей період регіон перетворився на культурний і торговий центр. У XV столітті в Пенджабі зародився сикхізм завдяки Гуру Нанаку та його послідовникам. Пенджаб став центром Сикхської імперії, заснованої махараджею Ранджитом Сінгхом. Імперія була потужною військовою і політичною силою до її анексії Британською імперією в 1849 році. У колоніальний період Пенджаб став важливим регіоном для британців завдяки своїй родючій землі та стратегічному розташуванню. Британці розвинули іригаційну систему, що перетворило регіон на аграрну базу. Після здобуття незалежності від Британії Пенджаб був розділений між Індією та новоутвореним Пакистаном. Мільйони мусульман, індуїстів і сикхів перетнули кордони внаслідок одного з найбільших переселень в історії. Пакистанський Пенджаб став ключовою провінцією нової держави. Завдяки своїй родючій землі Пенджаб залишився аграрним серцем країни, виробляючи більшу частину продовольства для нації. Сьогодні Пенджаб є найрозвиненішим і найбагатшим регіоном Пакистану.

Akra Kaur Dam

Akra Kaur Dam, sometimes also referred to as Ankara Kaur Dam, is located near Gawadar in Balochistan, Pakistan. The dam was constructed in 1995 at a cost of $24 million to supply water to Gwadar and adjoining villages. It is the sole source of water supply to residents of the Gwadar District area. The dam contains a volume of water equal to 17,025 acre-feet, (21,000 megalitres), to provide 1.62 million gallons daily. The dam's dead storage level is 27 metres, below which is 5,270 acre-feet of water, and its live storage level maximum is 32 metres. As of February 2018, it has silted up to 26.3 metres, and the government is investigating a de-silting operation. In 2005, torrential rain in the area caused an overflow from the dam, inundating a number of villages and claiming at least 20 lives. In July 2012, reports emerged that the dam had dried up completely due to large-scale siltation. This has posed serious water supply challenges to local residents, including acute shortage of drinking water. In May 2017, Akra Dam ran dry. During that time, Gwadar city's sole water supply was brought from Mirani Dam via tanker truck, at a cost of Rs.220 million per month for 1.3-1.8 million gallons a day. The water was "drinkable but unsafe". A promised water treatment system was not organised. Truck drivers periodically struck due to long delayed wages, interrupting supply.

Le 14 octobre 1955, la principauté est dissoute pour être pleinement intégrée à la province du Pakistan occidental, alors que le pays devient une république avec l'adoption d'une nouvelle constitution l'année suivante. Cela a été possible grâce à un accord entre le dernier prince et le gouverneur-général Malik Ghulam Muhammad, permettant à la famille princière de garder son titre de « Nawab » et des privilèges protocolaires. Géographie Le climat de Bahawalpur est majoritairement chaud et sec, avec des températures s'étalant entre 48 et 7 degrés Celsius. Le désert du Cholistan couvre le sud de la division.
