Etymology edit
The name Paribal generally refers to four villages: Laway Mohalla, Ghat Paribal, Pethkundal, and Paribal. Locals from neighboring villages often collectively refer to all these villages as Paribal. These villages, are also officially documented as Shallabugh-C by government sources, and are the part of Shallabugh-A Panchayat Halqa.[2] The name Paribal traces back to Kashmiri words— Par (پَر) meaning chisels and Bal (بل) meaning riverside, forming Par Bal, which later became Paribal. This village was a key center for river trade. Boatmen used chisels to anchor their boats along the Sind River, giving the village its name.[3]
History edit
Paribal's history dates back to ancient times when it served as a crucial trade route for the people of nearby villages in Sherpathri. Situated on the banks of the Sind River, it played a vital role in transporting goods during ancient times through the Sind River towards Shadipora town and further areas of Srinagar and Bandipora districts via the Jhelum River.[4]
Despite serving as the hub for trade, Paribal also served as the primary source of drinking water for dozens of villages in the Sherpathri belt of Ganderbal district. During ancient times, when water facilities were nonexistent, communities often relied on natural sources such as rivers, lakes, and wells for their water needs. Locals from nearby villages such as Hathbura, Pirpora, Hakeemgund, Chundina Deh Nowabad, and Gogjigund used to bring drinking water as well as water for other purposes from the Sind River at Paribal.[5]
Geography edit
The village spans thousands of hectares of forest containing millions of willow trees, stretching across both sides of the river. This forest, known as the Sindh Forest Division, consists of two ranges: Shallabugh I on one side of the riverbank and Shallabugh II on the other side. These forests play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the area.[6]
Paribal village enjoys a pleasant climate similar to other areas of Kashmir. The Sind River plays a crucial role in irrigation and other fish-related economic activities.
Demographics edit
The population of Paribal village, including the populations of Ghat Paribal, Laway Mohalla and Pethkundal villages, totals 1,500. The primary language spoken by the people is Kashmiri, with Urdu, Hindi, and English also being prominent.[7]
Economy edit
The majority of the people in this area depend on agriculture, cultivating rice paddies in their fields to sustain their livelihoods.
The Sind River and the Shallabugh Wetland are the primary sources of income for the local economy of the nearby villages.[8] Many people are involved in wickerwork, creating decorative items from locally grown willow reeds found on the marshy lands along the banks of the Sind River and Shallabugh wetland.[9]
Infrastructure edit
Paribal village is well-connected by roads to Ganderbal city, located just 8 kms away. However, despite its proximity to Srinagar city it is located just 15 kms from the Srinagar, it is not directly connected. The construction of the Paribal-Takanwari Bridge is underway, which will connect Paribal, Shallabugh village, Chundina Deh Nowabad village, and other villages of Sherpathri block with Srinagar district through Takenwari Pora, as well as with Shadipora town of Bandipora district.[10]
