Shear zones of very restricted extent are observed south of Phuphunga Hill with a cumulative thickness of about 30 m, around Bormohora with a thickness of approximately 7 m and along Dwipkai Nala. A small pyrite- rich shear zone within mylonitised biotite gneiss is exposed in the western flank of Sijukona Hill. Sulphide mineralisation in the form of pyrite and pyrrhotite (?) has been noticed south of Phuphunga. Samples collected across the shear zones and sulphide zones were submitted for chemical analysis.

    District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles

    DISTRICT HID/AIDS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILES Developed using data triangulation Assam Factsheet 2014 Assam State AIDS Control Society Khanapara, Guwahati-22 Foreword The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies. However, the district level focus of the programme demands consolidated information that helps better understand HIV/AIDS scenario in each district, to enable effective targeting of prevention and treatment interventions to the vulnerable population groups and geographic areas. This technical document prepared by the SIMU division of Assam SACS is a follow up exercise of the detailed District epidemiological profiles report 2013 prepared using the information collected and analyzed during the data triangulation exercise conducted during 2011-12. The 2013 report provided useful information support to the district level health functionaries but at the same time we were informed that a concise report will be even better. So, keeping this in mind, the 2014 report is being prepared in a factsheet format which is adapted from the District Epidemiological factsheets prepared by NACO and using updated information. The reports are prepared by some of the ICTC, PPTCT, Blood bank and STI counselors who are supported by a group of Public Health experts from medical colleges and state programme officials and we are grateful to each of them for their support in this activity.

    Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Proposed Exploratory Drilling of 10 wells at Rudrasagar, Geleki, Lakwa, Namti, Mekeypore-Santak-Nazira PML Areas at Sivasagar District, Assam Chapter-1 Introduction 1.0 INTRODUCTION Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) proposes to carry out exploratory drilling in Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) areas of North Assam Shelf (NAS) block in Sivasagar district, Assam. Out of the proposed 10 exploratory drilling wells, 3 exploratory drilling wells fall in Rudrasagar PML area, 3 exploratory drilling wells fall in Lakwa PML area, 1 exploratory drilling well fall in Geleki PML area, 1 exploratory drilling well fall in Namti PML area and 2 exploratory drilling wells in Mekeypo Re-Santak Nazira PML area of Sivasagar district, Assam. This chapter describes the purpose of the report, identification of project and proponent, brief description of nature, size, location of the project and importance to the region and country. The chapter also describes the scope of the study, details of regulatory scoping carried out as per Terms of Reference (TOR) issued by Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), New Delhi. 1.1 Purpose of the Report As per Environmental Impact Assessment Notification dated 14th September, 2006 and 01.12.2009, the proposed project falls under category ‘A’, Schedule 1(b) and requires Environmental Clearance (EC) to be obtained from Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) before the commencement of ground activity. In line with the said notification, TOR application was filed to MOEF&CC. Accordingly, scoping meeting was held in MoEF&CC during 30th November -1st December 2015 for determining the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the preparation of EIA report for the proposed project.

    SUMMARY OF PROJECT Khagoriian EC Block .l OIL INDIA LIMITED (OIL), a Government of India Navaratna PSU, is currently engaged in carrying out hydrocarbon exploration, development, production and transportation of crude oil & natural gas activities in its operational areas in Upper Assam, South-Eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram in the North Eastern part of India. OIL is also undertaking hydrocarbon exploration activities in few other Indian states and having presence in selected overseas countries. This EC block covers seven (3) Petroleum Mining Leases (PML) namely Tinsukia PML, Tinsukia Extension PML and Chabua PML, awarded by Govt. of India and Assam State Govt. to Oil India Limited for exploration and development of oil & gas in Dibrugarh &Tinsukia districts. Khagarijan oilfield is a part of the Tinsukia PML area located in Dibrugarh District of Assam. The Khagarijan EC block area is located in the North eastern part of OIL's operational area in Upper Assam Basin and located to the south of the Brahmaputra River. The Khagarijan oilfield is included within the depositional plains of the River Brahmaputra and its tributaries. Physiographically, the field can be classified as Low-lying alluvial plain area. Upper Assam Basin is a proven petroliferous basin which represents a classic example of passive continental margin that evolved simultaneously with other east coast basins of India concomitant with rifting followed by drifting of the Indian Plate from eastern Gondwanaland and its subsequent subduction underneath the Burinese and Eurasian plates. The basin has thrusted margins on three sides: to the south the Naga Hills Thrust Belt and Manipur Ophiolite Belt; to the east and north the Main Frontal Thrust of the Himalayas, which was active from the mid-Miocene to present day, bends around the Assam Syntaxis.
