-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Astor River
The Astore River a tributary of the mighty Indus rises from a glacier of the great
Himalayan range near the Burzil Pass in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir.
It flows in a northwesterly direction and joins the Indus River at Bunji. Many small
streams fall into the Astor River in its short course. Its catchment area is not covered
by the vegetation but possess glacial moraines, cirques and steep slopes. This river
drains the area lying to the east of Nanga Parbat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chenab River
The Chenab River is formed by the confluence of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers at
Tandi located in the upper Himalayas in the Lahul and Spiti District of Himachal
Pradesh, India. In its upper reaches it is also known as the Chandrabhaga. It flows
through the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir into the plains of the Punjab,
forming the boundary between the Rechna and Jech interfluves (Doabs in Persian). It
is joined by the Jhelum River at Trimmu and then by the Ravi River. It then merges
with the Sutlej River near Uch Sharif to form the Panjnad or the 'Five Rivers', the
fifth being the Beas River which joins the Satluj near Ferozepur, India. The Satluj
then joins the Indus at Mithankot. The total length of the Chenab is approximately
960 kilometers. The waters of the Chenab are allocated to Pakistan under the terms
of the Indus Waters Treaty.
The river was known to Indians in the Vedic period as Ashkini or Iskmati and as
Acesines to the Ancient Greeks. In 325 BC, Alexander the Great allegedly founded
the town of Alexandria on the Indus (present day Uch Sharif or Mithankot or
Chacharan) at the confluence of the Indus and the combined stream of Punjab rivers
(currently known as the Panjnad River).
The Chenab has the same place in the consciousness of the people of the Punjab as,
say, the Rhine holds for the Germans or the Danube for the Austrians and the
Hungarians. It is the iconic river around which Punjabi consciousness revolves, and
plays a prominent part in the tale of Heer Ranjha, the Punjabi national epic and the
legend of Sohni Mahiwal.
This river has been in the news of late due to the steps taken by the Indian
government to build a number of hydropower dams along its length (in India) most
13. 12
Suleman shah Marwat
notably the Baglihar Hydel power project (expected time of completion 2008). This is
a result of the Indus Basin Project. These planned projects on Chenab have been
hotly contested by Pakistan which says that India is breaking the terms and clauses
of the Indus water treaty by storing and channelling the waters of this river, a claim
totally rejected by the Indian government.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dasht River
Dasht River is located in Gwadar District, Balochistan, Pakistan. Mirani Dam is
being built on Dasht River to provide drinking water to Gwadar city.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dashtiari River
Dashtiari River is located in Gwadar District, Balochistan, Pakistan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gambila River
Gambila River, also called the Tochi River, is located in Bannu District, North-West
Frontier Province, Pakistan.
It's source are the hills six miles south of the Sufed Koh, the source of the Kurram
River, which it runs parallel too and finally joins.
The Gambila is an important river for the inhabitants of the Dawar valley, as it
serves to irrigate a large area of land that it runs through. Particularly that belonging
to the Bakkakhel Wazirs, Miri and Barakzai Bannuchis.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghaggar-Hakra River
The Ghaggar is an intermittent river in India, flowing during the monsoon rains. It
originates in the Shivalik Hills of Himachal Pradesh and flows through Punjab and
Haryana to Rajasthan; just southwest of Sirsa in Haryana and by the side of Tibi in
Rajasthan, this seasonal river feeds two irrigation canals that extend into Rajasthan.
The present-day Sarasvati River originates in a submontane region (Ambala district)
and joins the Ghaggar near Shatrana in PEPSU. Near Sadulgarh (Hanumangarh) the
Naiwal channel, a dried out channel of the Sutlej, joins the Ghaggar. Near Suratgarh
the Ghaggar is then joined by the dried up Drishadvati (Chautang) river.
The wide river bed of the Ghaggar river suggest that the river once flowed full of
water, and that it formerly continued through the entire region, in the presently dry
channel of the Hakra River, possibly emptying into the Rann of Kutch. It supposedly
14. 13
Suleman shah Marwat
dried up due to the capture of its tributaries by the Indus and Yamuna rivers, and
the loss of rainfall in much of its catchment area due to deforestation and
overgrazing. This is supposed to have happened at the latest in 1900 BCE, but
perhaps much earlier.
In India there are also various small or middle-sized rivers called Sarasvati or
Saraswati. One of them flows from the west end of the Aravalli Range into the east
end of the Rann of Kutch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghizar River
The Ghizar River is an important tributary of the Gilgit River. It rises as a small
snow-melt channel from the glaciers on the northern slopes of the great Himalayan
range. Rising from the glaciers the Ghizar valley many small tributaries join the
Ghizar River at various places along its course. It flows eastwards to join the Gilgit
River flowing in from the north.
The entire catchment area of the Ghizar River is bleak and desolate. The slopes are
devoid of a vegetative cover.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gilgit River
The Shigar River is a tributary of the Indus River that rises from the Hispar glacier at
the base of the Haramosh and Kanjut Sar peaks in northern Ladakh. It flows towards
southeast and joins the Indus at Skardu.
A tributary rising from Baltoro glacier at the base of Masharbrum peak also falls into
the Shigar River therefore, it contains waters of two of the most important glaciers of
the Karakoram Range. No vegetation is seen on the catchment area because of its
high altitude.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gomal River
Gomal River is a river in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with its headwaters in the south-
east of Ghazni.
The headwater springs of the Gomal's main leg come together close to the fort of
Babakarkol in Katawaz, a district inhabited primarily by Kharoti and Suleiman Khel
Pashtuns.
The Gomal's chief tributary is the Zhob River. Within Pakistan, Gomal river
surrounds South Waziristan agency, forms the boundary between the North-West
Frontier Province and Balochistan. The river passes then through the Damaan plain
15. 14
Suleman shah Marwat
in Kulachi Tehsil and later on through Dera Ismail Khan Tehsil and then finally falls
in river Indus.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hub River
Hub River is located in Lasbela, Balochistan, Pakistan. It forms the provincial
boundary between Sindh and Balochistan, west of Karachi. Hub Dam is a large
water storage reservoir constructed in 1981 on the Hub River in the arid plains north
of Karachi. The reservoir supplies water for irrigation in the Lasbella district of
Balochistan and drinking water for the city of Karachi. It is an important staging and
wintering area for an appreciable number of water birds and contains a variety of
fish species which increase in abundance during periods of high water. The Mahseer
(Tor putitora), an indigenous riverine fish found in the Hub River, grows up to 2m
in length and provides for excellent angling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hungol River
Hungol River or Hingol River is located in Makran, Balochistan, Pakistan.
The Hungol valley has fantastic scenery of towering cliffs, pinnacles and buttresses,
the river winding between. Some 350 miles in length, the Hungol is Balochistan's
longest river. Unlike most other streams in Balochistan which only flow during rare
rains, the Hungol always has flowing water in it. The water is crystal–clear,
reflecting the incredible blue of the sky. It makes for picture–postcard scenery.
Hungol River and valley are located in Hungol National Park
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunza River
Hunza River is the principal river of Hunza, in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. It is
formed by the confluence of the Kilik and Khunjerab nalas (gorges) which are fed by
glaciers. It is joined by the Gilgit River and the Naltar River before it flows into the
Indus River.
The river cuts through the Karakoram Range, flowing from north to south. The
Karakoram Highway crosses the Hunza River near Hunza and Nagar valleys.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indus River
The Indus River is the longest and most important river in Pakistan and one of the
most important rivers on the Indian subcontinent and has given the country India its
name. Originating in the Tibetan plateau in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar, the
river runs a course through Ladakh district in Kashmir and Northern Areas, flowing
16. 15
Suleman shah Marwat
through the North in a southerly direction along the entire length of country, to
merge into the Arabian Sea near Pakistan's port city Karachi. The total length of the
river is 3200 kilometers (2000 miles).
The river has a total drainage area exceeding 1,165,000 square kilometers (450,000
square miles). The river's estimated annual flow stands at around 207 cubic
kilometers. Beginning at the heights of the world with glaciers, the river feeds the
ecosystem of temperate forests, plains and arid countryside. Together with the rivers
Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej, Jhelum, Beas and the extinct Sarasvati River, the Indus forms
the Sapta Sindhu ("Seven Rivers") delta in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It has 20
major tributaries.
The Indus provides the key water resources for the economy of Pakistan - especially
the breadbasket of Punjab province, which accounts for most of the nation's
agricultural production, and Sindh. It also supports many heavy industries and
provides the main supply of potable water in Pakistan.
The ultimate source of the Indus is in Tibet; it begins at the confluence of the Sengge
and Gar rivers that drain the Nganglong Kangri and Gangdise Shan mountain
ranges. The Indus then flows northwest through Ladakh-Baltistan into Gilgit, just
south of the Karakoram range. The Shyok, Shigar and Gilgit streams carry glacial
waters into the main river. It gradually bends to the south, coming out of the hills
between Peshawar and Rawalpindi. The Indus passes gigantic gorges 4500 - 5200
meters (15,000-17,000 feet) high near the Nanga Parbat massif. It swiftly flows across
Hazara, and is dammed at the Tarbela Reservoir. The Kabul River joins it near
Attock. The remainder of its route to the sea is in plains of the Punjab and Sind, and
the river becomes slow-flowing and highly braided. It is joined by Panjnad River at
Mithankot. Beyond this confluence, the river, at one time, was named as Satnad
River (sat = seven, nadi = river) as the river was now carrying the waters of Kabul
River, Indus River and the five Punjab rivers. Passing by Jamshoro, it ends in a large
delta to the east of Thatta.
The Indus is one of the few rivers in the world that exhibit a tidal bore. The Indus
system is largely fed by the snows and glaciers of the Karakoram, Hindu Kush and
Himalayan ranges of Tibet, Kashmir and Northern Areas of Pakistan. The flow of the
river is also determined by the seasons - it diminishes greatly in the winter, while
flooding its banks in the monsoon months from July to September. There is also
evidence of a steady shift in the course of the river since prehistoric times - it
deviated westwards from flowing into the Rann of Kutch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhelum River
Jehlum River or Jhelum River is the largest and most western of the five rivers of
Punjab, and passes through Jhelum District. It is a tributary of the Indus River.
17. 16
Suleman shah Marwat
The river Jhelum was called Vitasta by the ancient Indians in the Vedic period and
Hydaspes by the ancient Greeks. The Vitastā is mentioned as one of the major river
by the holy scriptures of the Indo-Aryans—the Rigveda. It has been speculated that
the Vitasta must have been one of the seven rivers (sapta-sindhu) mentioned so
many times in the Rigveda. The name survives the Kashmiri name for this river as
Vyath.
The river was regarded as a god by the ancient Greeks, as were most mountains and
streams; the poet Nonnus in the Dionysiaca (section 26, line 350) makes the
Hydaspes a titan-descended god, the son of the sea-god Thaumas and the cloud-
goddess Elektra. He was the brother of Iris the goddess of the rainbow, and half-
brother to the harpies, the snatching winds. Since the river is in a country foreign to
the ancient Greeks, it is not clear whether they named the river after the god, or
whether the god Hydaspes was named after the river.
Alexander the Great and his army crossed the Jhelum in 326 BC at the Battle of the
Hydaspes River where he defeated the Indian king, Porus. According to Arrian
(Anabasis, 29), he built a city "on the spot whence he started to cross the river
Hydaspes", which he named Bukephala (or Bucephala) to honour his famous horse
Bukephalis which was buried in Jalalpur Sharif. It is thought that ancient Bukephala
was near the site of modern Jhelum City. According to a historian of Gujrat district,
Mansoor Behzad Butt, Bukephala was buried in Jalalpur Sharif, but the people of
Mandi Bahauddin, a district close to Jehlum, believed that their Tehsil Phalia was
named after Bucephala, Alexander's dead horse. They say that the name Phalia was
the distortion of the word Bucephala. The waters of the Jhelum are allocated to
Pakistan under the terms of the Indus Waters Treaty.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kabul River
Kabul River or Kabal River is a river that rises in the Sanglakh Range of Afghanistan,
separated from the watershed of the Helmand by the Unai Pass. It is the main river
in the eastern part of Afghanistan. It flows 700 km before joining the Indus River
near Attock . It passes through the cities of Kabul, Chaharbagh, Jalalabad, and
(flowing into Pakistan some 30 km north of the Khyber Pass) Nowshera. The major
tributaries of the Kabul River are the Logar, Panjshir, Kunar and Alingar rivers.
The Kabul River itself is little more than a trickle for most of the year, but swells in
summer due to melting snows. Its largest tributary is the Kunar, which starts out as
the Mastuj River, flowing from the Chiantar glacier in Chitral, Pakistan and once it
flows south into Afghanistan it is met by the Bashgal River flowing from Nurestan.

than the Kabul, the river continues as the Kabul River after this confluence, mainly
for the political and historical significance of the name.

is formed by successive confluence of the five rivers of Punjab, namely Jhelum,
Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. Jhelum and Ravi join Chenab, Beas joins Sutlej, and
then Sutlej and Chenab join to form Panjnad near Uch Sharif. The combined stream
runs southwest for approximately 45 miles and joins Indus River at Mithankot. The
Indus continues into the Arabian Sea. A dam on Panjnad has been erected; it
provides irrigation channels for Punjab and Sind provinces south of the Sutlej and
east of the Indus rivers.
Beyond the confluence of Indus and Panjnad rivers, the Indus river was known as
Satnad (Sat = seven) carrying the waters of seven rivers including Indus river, which
is believed to be in ealrlier times the Saraswati/Ghaggar/Hakra river which
eventually dried and became a seasonal river due to seismic shifts in the glacial
region of Himachal Pradesh where it originated and later on Kabul river and the five
rivers of Punjab.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shimshal River
The Shimshal river a tributary of the Hunza River, rises from a glacier from the
northern base of the Kanjut Sar massif in the area to the north of the Karakoram
range. Small snow-fed tributaries join the river at various places. Two main streams
of this river originate in different depressions of an offshoot of the Karakoram
Range. They merge where the two valleys meet and flow as the main stream of the
Shimshal towards west to join with the Hunza River upstream of Baltit.
There is an increase in the discharge of this river in late summer when the glacier
melts at a faster pace. Flash floods may occur in mid-afternoon during this season
when the water level rises abruptly.
The entire catchment area of the Shimshal River is devoid of a vegetative cover.
Human habitation is restricted to the banks of the Hunza River.

Kailash, and its terminus in Pakistani Punjab near the port city of Karachi via the
Indus.
It is the easternmost tributary river of the Indus River, which overall, drains the
ancient and historically important region of Greater Punjab. Located in the shadow

Suleman shah Marwat
regions as the Great Indian Desert or Thar Desert, which more or less parallels both
the river and the border between Pakistan and Rajistan. Flowing generally south-
southwest from its headwaters, the Sutlej River joins first with the Beas River in the
state of Punjab, India and continues south-westerly into Pakistan to mix with the
Chenab River, forming the Panjnad River south of ancient Multan. From the
confluence near Khanpur, the Panjnad joins the Indus River at Mithankot, where
after the large river flows through a gorge near Sukkur and flows through a fertile
plains region known as the Sind until it reaches the Arabian Sea.
A heavy freight canal, known as the SLY (Sutlej-Yamuna Link), is being built
eastwards through Punjab near an ancient caravan route and highlands pass from
the Sutlej watershed to connect near the source of the largest tributary of the Ganges,
the Yamuna river, and when complete will allow shipping from India's east coast to
the west coast.

reservoir of water for Islamabad. Near Pharwala Fort it cuts through a high
mountain range and that is a wonderful phenomenon of nature. The place is called
Swan Cut. No stream can cut such a high mountain. It proves the Swaan was there
before the formation of this range. And when the mountain rose through millions of
years, the stream continued its path by cutting the rising mountain. Ling stream,
following a relatively long course though Lehtrar and Kahuta falls in the Swaan near
Sihala.
Islamabad Highway crosses this stream near Sihala where famous bridge Cock Pull
is constructed over it. Another famous, Lai stream joins this stream near Swaan
Camp. After walking a tortuous path and creating a big curve, the stream reaches
Kalabagh where it falls into the Indus River. This relatively small stream is more
than 250 kilometers long. Due to its mountainous course and shallow bed, it is
hardly used for irrigation purposes. For grinding wheat, you can find ancient types
of flour mills near Chakian. Fishing is not possible in this stream as a profession.

Attorney General of Pakistan
The Attorney General for Pakistan is appointed under Article 100 of the constitution
of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Deputy Attorney General of Pakistan
appointed under the Central Law Officers Ordinance, 1970. The Attorney General is
the chief legal advisor of the government and serves at the pleasure of the President
of Pakistan or till his/her resignation.
Controversially in Pakistan the Attorney General had the right to private practice.
The reasons for this was that in Pakistan an Advocate is institutionally independent,
and is not in the ordinary course permitted to be employed.
It is customary however that despite this permission to do so, AG's do not appear on
behalf of other clients, with the exception of briefs accepted before assumption of
office which are at a stage of litigation where it would be impossible to instruct
another Advocate. Sharifuddin Pirzada a former three time Attorney General and
Malik Qayyum were conspicuous for their use of this right and accepting private
briefs even after assuming office which was viewed by many[citation needed] as
unethical and a conflict of interest.
It is pertinent to note that the last three Attorneys General before Mr. Malik
45. 44
Suleman shah Marwat
Mohammad Qayyum did not make use of their right of private practice. The 18th
amendment ( passed in April 2010) to the Constitution of Pakistan abolished the
Attorney General's right to private practice.
In January 2014, Attorney General Munir A. Malik, Senior Advocate Supreme Court,
tendered his resignation from office citing personal reasons. He was succeeded by
Salman Aslam Butt an advocate of Supreme Court.
