Nature of Project The proposed project is river bed mining for extraction and collection of sand, stone & bajri from river bed. As per EIA notification No 1533 of 14th st September 2006 and S.O. No. 3069(E) dated 1 December 2009, Notification No 2731(E) dated 09-09-2013 and MoEF office Memorandum No. J- 13012/12/2013-IA-II (I) dated 24-12-2013 and 1 Prefeasibility report of River Bed Mining for extraction of Minor Minerals (Sand, Bajri & Stone) at Khasra 59(0-41-09 Hac),65(0-40-00 Hac),66(0-00-80 Hac), 68(0-00-52 Hac),60(0-23-46 Hac) 61(0-15-84 Hac , 67(0-01-02 Hac), 84(0-28-35 Hac), 71(0-26-21 Hac), 73(0-35-40 Hac), 90(0-14-64 Hac), & 91(0-70-12 Hac), (kitta 12 )measuring 02-97-45 Hactares falling in Mauza Nagrota Surrian & Mohal Bassa Tehsil Nagrota Surrian District Kangra H.P by M/s Gaj Stone Crusher .(Proprietor – Sh. Virender Singh Guleria ) subsequent amendment dated 15-01-2016 issuing guidelines; the project falls under B2 category. 2. iii. Need of Project The demand of stone, bajri and sand in the area is increasing day by day both for private construction activities and infrastructure development by the Government Agencies. The State Governments has launched several projects of road construction, road widening, bridge construction and buildings for offices, school and other social activities. Thus, the stone (after crushing), bajri, and sand extracted from the mining lease area contribute to the development of infrastructure and prosperity of the area/region. 2. iv. Demand and Supply There is large demand of stone, bajri and sand for construction activities in the region. It is essential raw material for construction of buildings, roads, bridges; check dams, etc. in the area. 2. v. Domestic Market The demand for stone grit is limited to regional domestic market and it has no potential for export. 2. vi. Employment Generation The mining activity in the lease area gives direct employment to about 25 persons engaged in extraction of stone, bajri and sand; loading of material into tractor trolleys .The stone and bajri shall be transported to the crusher. The stone and bajri shall be transported to the local market. Moreover, the construction industry using the raw material from the mine will generate employment to many for skilled and semi- skilled workers. Thus, the production of construction aggregates, such as sand, stone and bajri has tremendous impact on multiple generation of employment in downstream activities. Economy of the area will get a boost and there will be an overall growth of the region in terms of standard of living, education, health and transport. 2 Prefeasibility report of River Bed Mining for extraction of Minor Minerals (Sand, Bajri & Stone) at Khasra 59(0-41-09 Hac),65(0-40-00 Hac),66(0-00-80 Hac), 68(0-00-52 Hac),60(0-23-46 Hac) 61(0-15-84 Hac , 67(0-01-02 Hac), 84(0-28-35 Hac), 71(0-26-21 Hac), 73(0-35-40 Hac), 90(0-14-64 Hac), & 91(0-70-12 Hac), (kitta 12 )measuring 02-97-45 Hactares falling in Mauza Nagrota Surrian & Mohal Bassa Tehsil Nagrota Surrian District Kangra H.P by M/s Gaj Stone Crusher .(Proprietor – Sh. Virender Singh Guleria ) 3. Project Description 3.i. Type of Project The proposed mining project is a river bed mining for extraction or collection of stone, bajri and sand from river bed. The present site forms the catchment area of Beas River. The Gaj Khad cut its course through Siwalik formation roughly all along its length comprising predominantly massive conglomerate with red and orange clay as matrix and minor sandstone and earthy buff and brown clay stone. The river bed is occupied with recent deposits comprising sand, silt, gravel and pebbles of Newer Alluvium belonging to Quaternary age. The boulder beds are considered the prominent source of river borne deposits and during monsoon season the stream carries heavy sediment load and deposit it annually on the river bed. This stream has developed a high flood plain near the confluence of river Dehar as during flood season the velocity of this stream is checked by the water of Dehar river and most of sediment load is deposited at the confluence point. 3. ii. Location The proposed mining site is located besides village Jarpal in Gaj Khad. The site applied for mining lease is located in Mauza Nagrota surrian & Mohal Basa Sub tehsil Nagrota Surrian and is approachable through a kaccha road diverting RHS from village Jarpal along Jwali-Dehra-Jwalamukhi road The mining lease area is approachable through this approach road at a distance of approximately 500 – 650 m. The proposed mining site is located in the river bed of Gaj Khad. The highest point of mining lease area is 428 meters above MSL and lowest point is 425 meters above MSL and average width is 200 - 250 Mtrs. 3 Prefeasibility report of River Bed Mining for extraction of Minor Minerals (Sand, Bajri & Stone) at Khasra 59(0-41-09 Hac),65(0-40-00 Hac),66(0-00-80 Hac), 68(0-00-52 Hac),60(0-23-46 Hac) 61(0-15-84 Hac , 67(0-01-02 Hac), 84(0-28-35 Hac), 71(0-26-21 Hac), 73(0-35-40 Hac), 90(0-14-64 Hac), & 91(0-70-12 Hac), (kitta 12 )measuring 02-97-45 Hactares falling in Mauza Nagrota Surrian & Mohal Bassa Tehsil Nagrota Surrian District Kangra H.P by M/s Gaj Stone Crusher .(Proprietor – Sh.

Chapter :1 INTRODUCTION India is comprised of myriads of tinny democracies in villages endearingly known as Gram Panchayats. They have been in existence since ages and perhaps are the oldest democracies of Indian Sub-continent. However, they assumed special significance in modern India when 73rd/74th Constitutional amendments were enacted. These legislations not only empowered them but also widened their dimensions of functioning. These days they are intensively and extensively involved in grass root planning, development and decision making. Credit goes to Britishers to institutionalize the local-self governance in 1869 when District Local Fund in Bombay was created. Subsequently Lord Ripon established Local Self Governments in the year 1882 by constituting District Local Boards and Councils in Maharashtra and Vidarbh. Panchayats were first constituted as elected bodies

It was declared a Ramsar Site on 19 August 2002 (Pong Dam Lake 2002). It is one of the ‘Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas in India’, with IBA Site Code ‘IN–HP–19’ (Rahmani et al. 2016). It is a large man-made reservoir, on the Beas River, with an area of 156.62 km2 (Pong Dam Lake 2002) and follows an annual cycle of filling-up in the monsoons and gradually draining off the water thereafter. The receding water leaves a muddy shoreline in winter. There is a unique stratification of habitat—deep water, shallow water, muddy shoreline, dry barren land, stony area, pasture, and agricultural fields, which are surrounded by village groves and forest—resulting in a great diversity of birds attracted Fig.

We are also indebted to CCF (WL) Hq Mr. A R M Reddy IFS for his constant support and directions throughout the study period. Without his coordination with field staff located in remotest regions of the Himachal Pradesh, in convening this elaborate exercise, gathering all data in the required format from the field and getting the same uploaded into GIS platform in the GIS Lab of HP Forest Department, timely completion of this study wouldn’t have been possible. We are also thankful to Mr. Sanjeeva Pandey IFS and GIS lab team lead by Mr. Rajneesh, and his whole team, who digitized huge number of maps sent from field in no time. We further thank Mr. Santosh Thakur, Mrs Neelam FG and many other special duty FGs for their constant support and in logistics and coordinating field staff with GIS lab. Last but not the least; we appreciate the efforts put by all the field staff involving Field Conservators (T) & (WL), Divisional Forest Officers, Range Officers, other forest department personnel and volunteers.
