Dear experts on Active Tectonics and Tectonic geomorphology
When we see the topography of Himalayas through which the Indus is flowing, it is observed that the Indus River is following the active tectonic lineaments or linear structural features.
Experts are requested to share their views about this structural system of the Indus River.

Dear Mr. Ahmad,
you are completely right as you state that such giant streams are governed in their river-run by deep-seated lineamentary fault zones within and at the edge active fold belts.

Yes, except in the Potwar-Kohat region where it cross-cut some of the major structures
Mr. Qureshi,
what type of major structures are there. Can you give me Lat-Long values to see this on Google maps , please. I am interested in those landforms as I am going to carry our similar morpho-dynamic studies.
With kind regards
HGD
Dear Prof. Harald G. Dill,
You did not get the coordonate of the mentioned region from Mr Kamil ahmed Qureshi because the region Potwar-Kohat is not dirrect in Himalayan terrane is Sub Himalayan (See the next attchements... First two I made me, the third is from the article: Article The Tethyan Himalayan detrital record shows that India–Asia ...
consider only the map; the article explanation perhaps is not concordant with the reality):
I hope that they will be useful for you.
Regards,
Laszlo
