Pakistan Floods: Why Did They Happen?

                      

               

               

                         PAKISTAN IS FACING THREE CRISES IN ALL TOGETHER - FLOOD, ECONOMICAL, AND POLITICAL. PAKISTAN HAS SUNK UNDER WATERS AND UNDER THE ECONOMY  DUE TO INFLATION. 

       SITUATION IN PAKISTAN - 

• PM  HAS DECLARED  A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO HEAVY FLOODS, OVER  MILLION PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED OUT OF THE TOTAL POPULATION.
• 1100 PEOPLE ARE DEAD, 66 DISTRICTS ARE AFFECTED BADLY, 5000 KM OF ROADS ARE BADLY DAMAGED DUE FLOODS, 10 MILLION HOUSES ARE PARTIALLY OR FULL DESTROYED ,  TOTAL OF 7,00,000 CATTLE ARE DEAD, CATTLES  HEARING WAS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT OCCUPATION OF PAKISTANI'S. 
• 3,77,000 PEOPLE  ARE LIVING IN RELIEF CAMPS RIGHT NOW, SOUTH SINDH IS BADLY AFFECTED AMONG THE MOST.
• 1/3 RD OF THE COUNTRY IS UNDERWATER, MANY EXPERTS ARE COMPARING IT TO 2010, FLOODS WHICH ARE THE WORST FLOODS IN THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN WHERE ABOUT HALF THE COUNTRY WAS UNDER WATER.
•   FLOOD HAS CAUSED 10 MILLION DOLLAR DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY. 

                 

        THE CAUSES OF FLOODS IN PAK  - 

• PAKISTAN HAS 7000  GLACIERS IN ALL WHICH IS THE TOP MOST IN THE WORLD IF WE EXCLUDE THE SOUTH AND NORTH POLE.
• THESE GLACIERS ARE CONTINUOUSLY MELTING WHICH IS RESULTING IN FLOOD WATER, THIS IS HAPPENING DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
• IF THESE GLACIERS DIDN'T SOLIDIFY IN WINTER THEN IT MAY SPEED UP THE MELTING OF GLACIERS THIS CYCLE HAS STARTED IN PAKISTAN  AND ITS BRINGING HAVOC.
• PAKISTAN IS THE 8 TH MOST AFFECTED NATION DUE TO CLIMATIC CHANGES, WHEREAS INDIA IS NOT BEHIND ITS UNDER TOP 20 NATIONS.
• UN HAS SAID THAT SOUTH ASIA IS THE HOTSPOT FOR CLIMATIC CHANGES.  

                    

       SOME POINTS TO BE NOTICED - 

•  THIS YEAR PAKISTAN HAD HEAT WAVES AND DROUGHT-LIKE SITUATIONS, 51 DEGREES  CELCIUS WAS THE HIGHEST RECORDED DURING THIS TIME AND NOW FLOODS ARE GOING ON.
• CLIMATE CHANGE HAS STARTED DUE TO THE EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES,   AND THE EMISSION OF HARMFUL GASES FROM FACTORIES, SO MANY WEALTHY NATIONS    HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO PROVIDE 100 MILLION DOLLARS TO POOR AFFECTED COUNTRIES DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN PARIS AGREEMENT.
•  PAKISTAN IS DEMANDING THAT AID  BE GIVEN TO THEM SO THEY CAN REFILL THE LOSSES.
• UK AS STEP FORWARD AND PROVIDED A 15 MILLION DOLLAR EMERGENCY PACKAGE AND INDIAN PM ALSO EXPRESSED GRIEF ON THIS SITUATION. 

   

    ECONOMICAL CRISIS INSIGHT  -

• PAKISTAN IS GOING THROUGH A HUGE ECONOMICAL CRISIS WHERE IT'S DIFFICULT FOR A COMMON MAN TO LIVE.
• SENSITIVE  PRICE INDEX TP RECORD AT 44.58 % WHICH IS THE HIGHEST, WHERE VEGETABLES LIKE ONION, TOMATOES, ETC ARE BEING SOLD FOR 500 RUPEES PER GRAM.
• FOOD ITEMS PRICES HAVE INCREASED UP TO 27.3%.
• ONE OF THEIR MINISTER SAYS TO REDUCE THE INTAKE OF CHAI, THIS IS GOING TO BE  MORE TERRIBLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
• PAKISTAN IS FACING A TOTAL EXTERNAL DEBT OF 250 BILLION DOLLARS, THEIR FINANCE MINISTER TOLD THAT ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAY THIS AMOUNT  SO HE IS REQUESTING PEOPLE TO GET READY FOR MORE BAD DAYS.
• IMF HAS GIVEN A 1.17 USD BILLION BAILOUT FUND UNDER EFF PROGRAMME.
• AFTER SRI-LANKS NEXT IS PAKISTAN TO SUFFER A HUGE CRISIS.
• CHINA BEING A GOOD FRIEND TRAPPED PAKISTAN IN HIS ECONOMIC TRAP OF SHOWING WANDERLUST AND DREAMS OF GAINING MONEY THROUGH VARIOUS PROJECTS, BUT IN REALITY ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN IN FACT PAKISTAN IS IN DEEP DEBT TO CHINA. 

                                  

       SOLUTION OR WHAT LESSONS CAN WE TAKE -

• EVERY YEAR IN INDIA A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS GOES TO HIMALAYAS FOR RESEARCH OF GLACIERS SPEED OF MELTING, AMOUNT, AND VARIOUS OTHER FACTORS. WHEN OUR SCIENTISTS REACHED THIS YEAR TO TAKE NOTE OF THE RECORDS THEY FOUND THAT THEIR RESEARCH STATION ITSELF HAS WASHED AWAY. IT IS AN ALARM FOR US TO AWAKE.
• SITUATIONS LIKE PAKISTAN ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN INDIA IT'S CONFIRMED BUT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN IS UNKNOWN.
• OUR ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE READ FOR THIS.
• A WORLD BANK STUDY ESTIMATE BY  2050 1.5 TO 1.7 BILLION PEOPLE IN SOUTH ASIA COULD BE VULNERABLE TO DWINDLING WATER SUPPLIES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD INDIA HELP PAKISTAN BY GIVING FUNDS OR SHOULD WAIT FOR PAKISTAN'S ASK FOR FUNDS ?
