Figure 1 Project Area Objectives The overall objective (goal) of ILSP is to reduce poverty in hill districts of Uttarakhand. This is being achieved via more immediate development objective to “enable rural households to take up sustainable livelihood opportunities integrated with the wider economy”. The strategy behind ILSP is to adopt a two-pronged approach to build livelihoods in hill districts. The first of these is to support and develop the Page 2 of 183 Annual Progress Report-ILSP 2018-2019 food production systems, which remain the main means of support for most households. The second main thrust of the project is to generate cash incomes by supporting non-farm livelihoods, especially community involvement in rural tourism, and vocational training.

LTD. ……APPELLANT Versus ANUJ JOSHI & ORS. …….RESPONDENTS WITH Civil Appeal Nos.6746-6747 of 2013 (Arising out of SLP(C) No.5849-5850 of 2012) and T.C. (C) No.55 to 57 of 2013 J U D G M E N T K.S. Radhakrishnan, J. Leave granted. 2. Srinagar Hydro Electric Project (SHEP) located in Tehri / Pauri Garhwal district of Uttar Pradesh was a project envisaged by the then Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board (UPSEB) on river Alaknanda, which was basically run-of-the-river scheme. 3. The Techno-Economic approval of the scheme was granted for 200 MW by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), a competent authority exercising powers under Section 29 of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, in its meeting held on 6.11.1982, subject to the environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment. SHEP was later segregated from twenty two other Ganga Valley projects. A separate Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) was made on the SHEP on 9.2.1985. No adverse affect had been noticed on environment in that assessment on setting up of the Project. On the contrary, it was felt that such a scheme would add to the richness of the scenic beauty by creation of beautiful lakes attracting more tourists and also meet the energy requirements of the State and could be completed within a short span of five years.

Besides some local faults, major dislocations of the area viz., Vaikrita Thrust and Main Central Thrust (MCT) have been mapped. Geologists, particularly those interested in structural set up of the area would appreciate this effort. Key-Word: MCT, Thrust Faults, Seismic Zone, Topography. Introduction: Rudraprayag district falls in Zone V of the Seismic Zoning Map of India (IS 1893, 2002) and earthquakes of 1803 and 1842 reportedly devastated the region. Heavy losses were inflicted to residential and other structures in the areas around Jakholi, Okhimath and Rudraprayag by 1999 Chamoli Earthquake. The course of Mandakini river was reportedly blocked for three days due to landslides in 1857 and then again in 1976. Flash floods in Kunjya Gad, a tributary of Mandakini, inflicted heavy losses in Kontha, Chandranagar and Ajaypur in 1979. The area represents highly rugged and immature topography characterized by moderate to steep slopes that are intervened by narrow valleys. The topography of the region appears to be controlled by the structural and lithological factors. High ridges and summit surfaces of the area remain snow covered from November to March.

The study area lies between the two districts of Uttarakhand state i.e., Pauri and Rudraprayag, belongs to lesser Himalaya of Garhwal Region. Kaliasaur landslide is located along Srinagar-Badrinath Highway about 15 km upstream of Srinagar at left bank of Alaknanda River. This slide is very important because it is located on NH-58 which is the only connecting road to outer world and affects daily life of the people.The main focus of the paper is to understand the nature of landslide and its causes, and finally with the help of the intensive field observation, the authors suggested treatment and concrete solution of this geo-environmental problem of the study area. Keywords: Massif Landslide, Lesser Himalaya, Alaknanda, Disintegrated rocks, causes and treatment, Physical landscape, Geo-environmental and Geo-tectonic activities. I. Introduction In the Himalayan region most of the slopes are moderately stable. The natural process such as weathering and erosion of the formation make them unstable. Weak rock zones and unfavourable hydro-geological conditions are also responsible for the slope failures. It has also been noticed that most of the rock failures occur along road cutting.
