  • History : Project Deepak
    HISTORY : PROJECT DEEPAK 1. Raising & Early History. Project Deepak was raised in May 1961 with Col S N Punjh as Chief Engineer, primarily for the construction of Hindustan-Tibet (H-T) Road. The H-T Road is one of the most difficult roads ever to have been constructed in India. The 76 Km long Pooh-Kaurik sector of H-T Road passes through considerable lengths of sheer vertical hard rock stretches and huge bouldery strata embedded in sand and non-cohesive material, which is inherently unstable. The sector runs along the River Satluj crossing it at several locations. The road runs at altitudes between 1600 to 3600 meters. On the whole, the terrain and climatic conditions are very uncongenial. Many valuable lives were lost during the construction of this road. Thus, this work is a testimony to the sheer grit, determination and perseverance shown by PROJECT DEEPAK right from its early days. The subsequent major events in the history of Project Deepak include:- (a) In 1965, construction of the 122 Km long Road Dhami-Basantpur-Kiongal and 107 Km long stretch of Road Keylong-Sarchu (part of the Manali-Leh road) was entrusted to PROJECT DEEPAK. (b) In December 1966, following disbandment of Project Chetak, all roads of Uttaranchal were taken over by PROJECT DEEPAK. Thus, the 300 Km long Road Rishikesh –Joshimath-Mana, 63 Km long road Road Joshimath-Malari and 260 Km long Road Tanakpur-Askote-Tawaghat came under PROJECT DEEPAK. (c) The early seventies saw Project Deepak spreading its light (Deepak Jyoti) in the states of Rajasthan and even Punjab.

  • Paper-04-M Pathak
    Journal of Engineering Geology Volume XLIV, Nos. 1 & 2 A bi-annual Journal of ISEG June & December 2019 Geological and geotechnical challenges faced during construction of Rohtang highway tunnel - A case study Pathak*, Mridupam Geologist, PEMS Engineering Consultants Pvt. Ltd., D2-ICT JV, Rohtang Highway Tunnel Project, Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India Saini, Sandeep Kumar Geotechnical Engineer, Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd., D2-ICT JV, Rohtang Highway Tunnel Project, Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India *E-mail of corresponding author: [email protected]) Abstract Tunnel projects in complex geological setting like the Himalayas are very unique due to the geological uncertainties and challenges to tackle them. Detailed geological investigations are an absolute necessity for effective design and construction due to large variations in the tendered and encountered rock classes witnessed here. The Seri Nalla Fault zone was encountered unexpectedly prior to its expected location. DRESS methodology proved very effective in countering the Seri Nalla zone. To counter high deformations induced in the shotcrete and lattice girders due to the high in-situ stresses, Lining Stress Controllers (LSC) are very effective. This case study presents the geological challenges faced during construction of the Rohtang Tunnel and the subsequent efforts undertaken to tackle them. 1.0 Introduction: The 8875 m long, single tube, bi-directional, two lanes, Rohtang Highway Tunnel is presently being constructed across the Pir-Panjal ranges of the Himalayas near Manali, Dist. Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. When completed, this tunnel will provide all weather connectivity between Manali and Lahaul. The Rohtang Highway Tunnel is part of a wider project to provide an all weather road connection between Leh region and the rest of India, via the Manali-Sarchu-Leh road (NH 21).

  • Prince Peter's Film from Ladakh 1938
    PRINCE PETER’S FILM FROM LADAKH 1938 Poul Pedersen & Martijn Van Beek Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark was the first anthropologist to study polyandry in Ladakh. In a search in March 2003 at the Ethno- graphic Collection of the National Museum in Copenhagen, we found a film that Prince Peter made in 1938 during his first visit to Ladakh, and a video copy of the film was subsequently shown at the 11th IALS Colloquium in Leh on 21-25 July 2003. In this note we pr the film and provide some background information to it. Prince Peter1 Prince Peter was born in Athens in 1908 as the first child of Prince George and Princess Marie of Greece and Denmark (generally, Princess Marie is better known as Marie Bonaparte). He spent most of his childhood and youth in France, where he studied law and political science at the University of Paris and received the law degree in 1934. In 1935-36 he followed Bronislaw Malinowski’s anthropology post- graduate seminars at the London School of Economics. He began his anthropological work in 1938 in Ladakh, Ceylon and South India. During World War II he was in the Greek army, and fought with the allied forces in the Middle East and Italy. He returned to anthropology in 1949 and went back to Ceylon and South India. In 1950 he settled at Kalimpong in north-eastern India, close to the Tibetan border, where he worked among the local Tibetan population and the Tibetan refugees. Much of the time here, he was in charge of various scientific projects initiated by Danish research institutions, including two major expeditions to Central Asia.
