Water flow from Glacial Lake at Shisper Glacier normal: GBDMA

Shisper Glacier

GILGIT: Supra-Glacial Lake formed at the Shisper Glacier in Gilgit Baltistan has started receding with a water discharge of 200 cusecs to 220 cusecs per day below the surging glacier which ruled out risk of glacial flooding, citing Gilgit Baltistan Disaster Management Authority state radio reported.

According to the GBDMA, it is routine flow of water which usually pours in summer season at 400 cusecs.

The satellite images received by Pakistan Meteorological Department show the glacial lake at Shisper Glacier to be contracting which had mitigated the disaster risk, an official said.

There might be two reasons for plummeting size of the glacier, mainly under surface discharge of water and the upward movement along with the penetration of the glacier into lake which consequently got submerged into the glacier, official said.

The isotopic analysis would help determine the source of water discharging beneath the glacier as at present it was not for sure either the water rolling down was glacial lake or the glacier’s melting water.

There is no need for displacing the local community of Hassanabad Village and surrounding areas as there was no glacial lake outburst or flooding risk where the water flow is normal,” the Authority Official said.

“We have requested the PMD to share latest satellite images of Shisper Glacier to ascertain the prevailing situation,” the official further said.

NAB and corruption cannot go together, says Javed Iqbal

NAB chairman press conference

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman Justice (retd.) Javed Iqbal has strongly rejected allegations of creating hurdles for the national economy, saying that the anti-corruption watchdog and corruption cannot go together.

While addressing a press conference in Islamabad here today, Iqbal said that the institution has not taken any step which causes damages to the national economy and it has no role in the deteriorated financial situation of the country.

“If we ask any question than how would it cause loss, but complete silence is seen instead of answering it,” he said.

Iqbal added, “Why NAB should not question [in the cases] where Rs50 lakh is spent instead of estimated Rs5 lakh? [I cannot accept that] Questioning someone will cause damage to the individual’s self-respect. NAB and economy are going together and it will be. Traders have praised the performance of the institution in their letters.”

The NAB chairman, while detailing reputation of the institution, said, “An important member of Gulf countries had contacted NAB to discuss issues of water supplies and sewerage and sought the assistance of the institution to make investments in the sectors. However, we have excused as it was not in our powers.”

This is a developing story …………

Saudi Arabia calls urgent Gulf, Arab League meetings over tensions

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has called for urgent meetings of the regional Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League to discuss escalating tensions in the region, the kingdom’s official news agency said on Saturday.

The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said King Salman had invited Gulf leaders and Arab states to two emergency summits in Mecca on May 30 to discuss recent “aggressions and their consequences” in the region.

Tensions have soared in the Gulf, with the United States deploying an aircraft carrier and bombers there over alleged threats from Iran.

Saudi foreign affairs minister Adel al-Jubeir said his country does not want to go to war with Iran, but was ready to defend its interests.

Riyadh “does not want a war, is not looking for it and will do everything to prevent it”.

The United Arab Emirates “welcomed” Saudi Arabia’s invitation.

Four ships, including two Saudi oil tankers, were damaged in mysterious sabotage attacks last Sunday off the UAE’s Fujairah, located at the crucial entrance to the Gulf.

That incident was followed by drone strikes Tuesday by Yemen’s Huthi rebels on a major Saudi oil pipeline, which provided an alternative export route if the Strait of Hormuz closed.
