(C) Aman-Ullah Khan
(D) Syed Ali Shah Gilani

Check Answer

Explanation

The correct answer is (A) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. He is considered to be the major founder of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), a coalition that came together in March 1993 with the objective of uniting various political and social organizations in Kashmir. Although the APHC came together as a federation of several leaders, the influence of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was instrumental right from the beginning.

This meeting directly led to the formation of the APHC in the following year. When the APHC came into being as an alliance of various organizations, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was appointed as its first chairman from 1993 to 1998.

It came up locally in the Indus region.

Which one of the following oil fields was first discovered in Pakistan?

(B) Balkassar
(C) Meyal
(D) Toot

Check Answer

(A) Karsal

Explanation

When Pakistan came into existence in 1947, it had four working oil fields. These were Khaur, Dhullian, Joya Mair, and Balkassar. Since then, four more oil fields have been discovered. These are Karsal, Tut, Sarang, and Mayal. These oil fields are all situated on the Potwar Plateau. Traces of oil have been found at other locations too, and work is going on in Punjab, Sindh, and Baluchistan with the cooperation of various foreign companies and the Oil and Gas Development Corporation.

The Karsal Oil Field has the distinction of being Pakistan’s first oil field discovered after independence. Situated a short distance northwest of Balkassar and connected to it by a pipeline, the oil is deposited in limestone in the exposed Karsal Anticline structure. It has the same quality as the Balkassar oil. This was followed by more discoveries on the Potwar Plateau, the Toot Oil Field in 1968, and subsequently Sarang and Meyal Oil Fields, all of which are now coming on stream.
