5 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA NORTHERN REGION
I. INTRODUCTION
A. BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE REGION
Northern Region of the Geological Survey of India, covering the States of Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, and Union Territory Chandigarh encompasses an area of 6,68,491 sq km. Out of the Six Regions through which the Geological Survey of India operates in the country, it is the second largest Region. Office complex spreading over on area of 12.5 acres with several peripheral buildings at Plot -2, Sector E, Aliganj, Lucknow. On 28th January 1993, the Office Complex was named as VASUNDHARA. As per HPC Committee, recommendation, the activities are now governed under Mission Mode.
The Northern Region office was started at Lucknow under the stewardship of Shri R. N. P. Arogyaswami, Superintending Geologist. In the year 1961, the Northern Region was elevated to the status of Directorate under Shri P. C. Hazara, as Director. To intensify and concentrate on the geological surveys in the Himalayan terrain, Himalayan Geology Division (HGD) was formed in 1963 with headquarters at Lucknow focusing the problems of the geology of Himalaya transcending the limits of the states falling in the Region. During the year 1967, the post of Regional Director was elevated to the status of Deputy Director General.
Appreciating the importance of glaciers of the Himalayan terrain and their key role in hydrological cycle of the nature, Glaciology Division with headquarters at Lucknow was created on 4th January 1974. For managing the
6 environment, the Environmental Geology Division was created on 1st January 1975 with headquarters at Lucknow. In 1985, Map Compilation, Publication and Information Division (MCPI) was split into two separate Divisions, viz. Map and Cartography Division and Publication Division. It was at this time that the Publication Divisions of the regions were entrusted with the responsibility of bringing out GSI publications. It is noteworthy that the Regional Library at Lucknow continues to get enriched with the scientific books, journals, unpublished departmental reports, etc. NR library possesses more than 20,500 books and 21,504 unclassified and 7066 classified unpublished reports at present, in addition to the journals. National and International Journals are being subscribed by the Library.
The Himalayan Mountain Ranges extend for about 2500 km (with an average width of about 240 km) all along the northern border of the Indian sub-continent, from Jammu and Kashmir in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the east, constituting the Extra-Peninsular region. The Himalaya is broadly divided into (i) Foothill or Outer Himalaya, (ii) Lesser Himalaya, (iii) Higher Himalaya and (iv) Tethyan or Trans-Himalaya across its length. The major rivers that originate from the great Himalayan Mountain Ranges are the Indus, Ganges and their various tributaries. The average elevation of the Indo-Gangetic plain lying between Peninsular and Extra-Peninsular India is 150 m with a low gradient from about 300 m in the Upper Ganga plain of Punjab to at main sea level at the Sunderbans delta of Bengal.
The region exposes diverse geology with different rock types representing the complete spectrum ranging in age from Archaean metamorphites /granitoids to the youngest Quaternary alluvium. The Region is tectonically and physiographically divided into three broad domains i.e. the Peninsular India, the Extra-Peninsular India and the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Indo-Gangetic plain is sandwiched between the shield area of the Peninsular India and the highly deformed suites of the Himalaya of Extra-Peninsular India, comprising essentially the younger metasediments. The tectonic trough (foreland basin) sandwiched between peninsular shield in the south and Himalayan Mountains in the north formed due to upliftment of the latter, has been filled up by sediments derived from both sides, especially from the Himalaya. Structurally the Himalayan mountain chain occurring all along northern part of India can be divided into four contrasting longitudinal litho-cum-morphotectonic belts from south to north, viz. i) foothill belt, ii) Main Himalayan belt, iii) Indus-Shyok belt and iv) Karakoram belt. The foothill Himalaya is a 10- to 50 km wide Miocene to Lower Pleistocene Molasse sequence represented by Siwalik, Murree and Subathu Group of rocks. The belt is a domain of active tectonics having participated in the terminal phase of the Himalayan Orogeny. This is followed to the north by the Lesser and Higher Himalaya, represented by geological sequences of Proterozoic age with Phanerozoic cover of varying thickness in different parts. The foothill Himalaya is overlain by alluvium and separated from the Lesser Himalaya by the north-dipping fault commonly known as the Main Boundary Fault (MBF) or the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in Garhwal, Kumaon, Nepal, Darjeeling, Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh Himalaya. The Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) limits the margins of the Siwalik Zone against the Ganga Plains.
The Lesser Himalaya is 60 to 80 km wide and is a discontinuous belt stretching between the MBT in the south and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the north. It consists of autochthonous Late Proterozoic sediments, thrust over by three vast nappes that are built up successively of Palaeozoic sediments, Precambrian epi- metamorphics and mesograde metasediments. The epi-metamorphic and meso-metamorphic nappes throughout their extent are characterized by Early Proterozoic (= 1900 Ma) and Early Palaeozoic granitic bodies of large dimension. The MCT separates the Lesser Himalaya from the Higher Himalaya to its north. The Higher Himalaya marks the region of the highest peaks of the Himalaya (Nunkun, Leopargial, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Nanda Devi, Api, Dhaulagiri, Mt. Everest, Kanchanjunga), made up of 10-15 km thick Precambrian crystallines exhumed up and intruded by granites, some of which are Tertiary in age. The Indus Shyok belt / the Tethys Himalaya extend to the south of the Trans-Himalayan Karakoram belt and comprise ophiolite mélange (Indus ophiolite and associated formation) and plutonic rocks (Ladakh Granitoid Complex) of the Indus Shyok belt. These predominantly fossiliferous sediments range in age from Late Proterozoic to Eocene. Sporadic occurrences of chromite have been reported from the ultrabasic rocks associated with Dras volcanics from Ophiolite-Melange zone. Karakoram belt, the northernmost zone, comprises Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary sequence on a metamorphic basement of unknown age. This Trans-Himalayan belt lies to the north of the Indus suture Zone in Ladakh region and extends eastward into Tibet. No important mineral occurrence is known from this belt.
7 B. GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
Geologically, under Northern Region, the states of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh encompasses diverse lithology ranging in age from the oldest Archaean metamorphites/ granitoids to the youngest Quaternary alluvium. The stratigraphic succession of the rocks exposed is given in the Map-1 (See page No.13).
HARYANA AND DELHI
Haryana State has an area of 44,222 Sq km and Delhi covers an area of 1483 Sq. km. Haryana State physiographically divisible into two geomorphic domain viz. Sub-Himalayan region and the Indo- Gangetic Plain. Geomorphological features of Delhi area are represented by denudational hills and alluvial fill and sandy plains. Geologically 95% of the area of this State is covered by the Quaternary sediments and the rest 5% comprises the Proterozoic rocks occurring in south and west and the Tertiary rocks in the northeast. The Proterozoic rocks are represented by Alwar and Ajabgarh groups of Delhi Supergroup. The Alwar Group is represented by Bayal - Panchnota Formation. It has been divided into two units, the basal unit consisting of thickly bedded felspathic gritty and micaceous quartzite and the upper unit comprises of ripple marked massive quartzite. The Ajabgarh Group comprises predominantly of argillaceous sediment, comprising slate, phyllite, pelitic schist, limestone and quartzite. These rocks grade from calcareous facies to argillaceous facies upward. Lithologically, Ajabgarh Group is divisible into five formations, each with characteristic lithounits. These are represented by Golwa-Gangutana Formation, Deota-Dantal Formation, Thanagazi Formation, Asarwas Formation and Tasing Formation. Delhi Supergroup rocks are intruded by basic and acid magmatic rocks. The plutonic phase of acid magmatism is represented by granite, pegmatite and quartz veins while the volcanic phase is represented by rhyolite and hypabyssal feldspar porphyry & aplite. Neo-Proterozoic rocks referred as Tundapathar Formation belonging to Shali Group occur in the northeastern part of Haryana along the contact between the Siwalik belt and the Palaeocene belt marking the Main Boundary Fault. The Palaeogene sediments comprising Subathu, Dagshai and Kasauli formations occur in the northern part of Haryana. Tertiary rocks occur over the Proterozoic basement in the western part near Hissar. It is an isolated outcrop measuring about 300m in length and 20m wide, at Daha, 15 km northwest of Tosham. The Siwalik in Haryana are mainly represented by Lower, Middle and Upper Siwalik, stretching from Kalka in northwest to Kala Amb in the southeast. Lower Siwalik is exposed along a NW-SE trending linear belt forming low flanking ridges near Kalka. These consist of coarse red and purple coloured gritty clay & fine to coarse-grained hard earthy sandstone. Middle Siwalik, are present in detached patches as Saketi Formation. Upper Siwalik comprises red and orange variegated clays and interbanded friable grey sandstone. Around Delhi Ajabgarh Group of rocks exposed as detached hillocks and ridges trending NE-SW expose purple and white quartzite interbedded with phyllite and slate. The Alwar Group comprises quartz amphibole quartzite, subordinate schist and minor limestone. They are well developed in the hill ranges of Bayal, Panchnota, Madhogarh, Khodana etc in the southwestern part of the state. Quaternary sediments cover almost the whole of Haryana and along the Yamuna River in parts of Delhi. The Quaternary has been classified as Older Alluvium and Newer Alluvium. Older Alluvium is represented by alternating sequence of sand and clay layers with small kankar nodules. Newer alluvium comprises loose grey sand and silt deposited along the Yamuna and Ghaghar and their tributaries and the carbonate and sulphate bearing lake deposits. In the southern and western borders of Haryana, the Aeolian deposits occur in the form of sand dunes/sheets constituting the northeastern fringe of Thar desert.
8 HIMACHAL PRADESH Geologically rocks ranging from Proterozoic to Quaternary are exposed and represent classic geological sequence. Undifferentiated Proterozoic mostly confined to the Lesser Himalaya, are represented by Jutogh and Vaikrita groups.

Palaeo-Proterozoic: The Jeori-Wangtu Banded Gneissic Complex and Kulu, Naraul, Sundernagar and Rampur groups represent the Palaeo-Proterozoic in the Himachal Pradesh. The Jeori – Wangtu Granitoid Gneiss is strongly foliated with well-developed augen-gneisses, mylonitic gneiss and porphyroblastic biotite gneiss with non-foliated granitoids in the central part. The Kulu Group, one of the three principal crystalline nappes of Himachal Pradesh, comprises Khamrada, Gahr and Khokan formations consisting of schist, gneiss, quartzite, quartz schist, slate, phyllite and garnetiferous schist. The Naraul Group consists of quartzarenite phyllite, shale, slate and diamictite whereas the Sundernagar Group comprises dominantly purple coloured arenaceous sediments with argillities and characterized by interstratified basic lava flows of the Mandi-Darla Volcanics. The Rampur Group presents an association of metabasalts and metasediments dominated by clastics. It is divisible into three formations namely, Bhallan, Banjar and Manikaran. Meso-Proterozoic in the Himachal Himalaya are represented by Larji and Shali groups. The Larji Group consists of lower Hurla Formation and upper Aut Formation, broadly comprising a sequence of slate, quartzarenite, diamictite and stromatolitic carbonate rocks. The Shali Group has been divided into eight formations namely Ropri, Khaira, Khatpul, Sorgharwari, Tattapani, Makri, Parnali and Bandla consisting of shale, siltstone, quartzarenite, massive dolomite, limestone, cherty dolomite, green and purple shale, grey limestone and white quartzarenite. The upper part of Meso-Proterozoic is represented by Darla-Tattapani (Peontra Volcanic) represented by quartzite, slate and basic flows. The Neo- Proterozoic era has been divided into two as Lower and Upper. The Lower Neo-Proterozoic era is represented by Jaunsar, Simla and Haimanta groups whereas the Upper Neo-Proterozoic era is represented by Guma, Blaini, Infrakrol, Krol, Manjir and Katarigali formations. The Jaunsar Group is typically developed in the Deoban structural belt and is divisible into three formations namely Mandhali, Chandpur and Nagthat. Mandhali Formation is composed of limestone, argillite, arenite and conglomerate. The Chandpur Formation is represented by alternate sequence of argillite and arenite. The Nagthat Formation comprises sandstone, arkose quartzarenite, grits, conglomerate, grey, purple and green shale, slate and phyllite. The Simla Group is divisible into four formations, Basantpur, Kunihar, Chhaosa and Sanjauli. The Basantpur Formation is characterized by the abundant interbeds of limestone and dolomite within argillite and siltstone whereas Kunihar Formation comprises lenticular interbeds of stromatolite-bearing limestone with fissile shales. The Chhaosa Formation is characterized by a thick rhythmic sequence of shale, siltstone and greywacke. The Sanjauli Formation is divisible into Lower and Upper members, on the basis of characteristic lithological associations.

The Gungri Formation comprises black shale, calcareous silty shale, phosphatic, cherty and calcareous nodules and thin limestone. The Salooni Formation is represented by black shale, slate, calcareous slate and lenticles of limestone and is fossiliferous.
PUNJAB
The Punjab state comprises an area of 50,362 Sq km forming the part of Indo-Gangetic basin. The two broad geomorphic entity viz. the Siwalik foothills towards the northeast part of the state and alluvial fill of Indus drainage basin characterise the physiographic setting of the Punjab state. The dominant physiographic high are i) Lahore - Sargodha Ridge in the west; ii) Delhi – Jagadhari Ridge in the east; iii) Delhi – Lahore Ridge in the south and iv) Siwalik ridges in the northeast. Chandigarh covers an area of 114 km.
GEOLOGY
The Neogene and Quaternary units are classified as i) Siwalik Supergroup and ii) the Quaternary alluvium comprising older alluvium and newer alluvium. The maximum depth of Quaternary sediment recorded to 4500m. The base configuration indicates that the Punjab basin appears to be deeper in the northern side and shallower southward and deepest being towards NW. The Siwalik Supergroup is classified into three groups namely Lower / Middle and Upper Siwalik groups The rocks of Lower and Middle Siwalik Group are exposed as NW-SE trending ridges in the northeastern part of Gurdaspur district while the Upper Siwalik rocks are exposed in Ropar, Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur districts. The Lower Siwalik Group, represented by the Chinji Formation, is chiefly composed of fine to medium grained, sporadically pebbly sandstone and chocolate to maroon claystone. The Middle Siwalik Group comprises Nagri and Dhok Pathan formations. The Nagri Formation comprises alternating conglomerate and red clay. The Dhok Pathan Formation consisting of poorly sorted massive, grey, coarse grained and micaceous sandstone with minor conglomerate. The Upper Siwalik Group is made up of coarse gravel and boulder conglomerate alternating with clay bands and sandstone. Its contact with the overlying Quaternary sediments is unconformable. The Quaternary Alluvium of the state can be divided into three chronostratigraphic units viz. (i) Older Alluvium (ii) Newer Alluvium and (iii) Aeolian Deposit. The Older Alluvium is formed by the depositional processes of the pre-existing palaeo-drainage of Middle to Late Pleistocene period, comprising admixture of reddish clay, silt, sand with kankar, grey medium to coarse calcareous sand with kankar and subrounded to subangular unsorted pebble, gravel and cobble beds. The Newer Alluvium is formed of present day streams, representing Holocene/Recent period. It is chiefly composed of blue to white-grey micaceous sand with alluvium interbands of purple and red clay. The Aeolian Deposits are spread throughout the Punjab, except in the areas covered by the hard rocks of Siwalik Supergroup. Broadly, these are the undifferentiated aeolian flats/dunes/sand sheet and newer dunes. Based on the degree of consolidation, these can be divided into following three categories (i) stabilized and consolidated older dunes (ii) intermediate and semi-consolidated dunes and (iii) newer, mobile and reversible dunes.
10 JAMMU & KASHMIR
Jammu & Kashmir State comprises three administrative regions, viz. Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh encompassing an area of 2,22,296 Sq km. Located in the Northwestern part of Himalaya Jammu & Kashmir is a mountainous terrain, except for about a five kilometers wide stretch of Tarai zone on the southern part represented by Siwalik foothills and adjoining Indo-Gangetic Alluvial Plain. The geographical entity of J&K is represented by four tectono geomorphic domain represented by linear tectonic belts, which in the northwest take a turn to the southwest to form the western Syntaxes, the ‘Jhelum Syntaxes’. These tectonic belts from north to south are (i) Karakoram belt, (ii) Indus-Shyok belt. (iii) Main Himalayan belt and (iv) Frontal fold belt. Jhelum Syntaxes and the two re-entrants, the broad Chenab re-entrant near Ramban and the sharp Ravi re-entrant near Dalhousie in H.P. are the major morphotectonic units.
GEOLOGY
The state of Jammu and Kashmir is covered by rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Recent. The geological lithounits / formations are described as below:
Karakoram Belt forms the northernmost sector of Ladakh and covers the southern slopes of great Karakoram Range in Trans-Himalaya exposing Palaeozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary formations of Karakoram-Tethyan basin. Karakoram Granitoid occur towards north of Shyok-Nubra zone. The belt is separated from Indus Shyok belt by the main Karakoram Thrust also called as South Karakoram Thrust. The rocks in the belt are folded into Karakoram synclinorium and Saltoro synclinorium with a geanticline in between. The Karakoram batholith appears to be emplaced along the core of the geanticlines. Indus Shyok Belt is sandwiched between Karakoram belt in the north and Main Himalayan belt in the south, comprising mainly Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments and associated mafic, intermediate and acid magmatic rocks with imprints of Upper Palaeozoic and Early to Middle Mesozoic sedimentation in Shyok belt. Wakha, Pashkyum and Shyok thrusts are the major lineaments from south to north in this belt, which have sub-divided the belt into three zones viz. Sangeluma parautochthon, Indus Group- Ladakh Granitic Complex autochthon and Shyok-Nubra zone. The Sangeluma parautochthon along with Indus Group autochthon forms Indus tectonic zone, and Ladakh batholith separates it from Shyok Nubra zone. Main Himalayan belt is the most complex tectonic belt in the region and occurs between Frontal Fold belt in the south and the Indus-Shyok belt in the north, exposing the rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Quaternary. Parautochthonous zone, Kashmir synclinorium, Thathri dome, Chamba synclinorium, Kishtwar window, Giambal-Suru crystalline geanticline, Zanskar synclinorium, Rupshu anticlinorium and Kuling- Lilang Schuppen zone are the prominent structural features of this belt. Phanerozoic succession of Kashmir Tethyan basin is folded into a regional NW-SE trending synclinorium comprising a series of anticlines and synclines. The rocks on the southern flank of Kashmir synclinorium have moved along Panjal Thrust to over ride the rocks of Parautochthonous zone and this part of Kashmir synclinorium constitutes Kashmir nappe. Frontal Fold Belt exposes the rocks of Sirban Limestone, Subathu Formation, Murree and Siwalik Group of rocks and the younger Quaternary sediments Foot Hill Fault, Mastgarh anticline, Mandili structural unit. Muttal-Jigni anticline, Lodhra-Lapri anticline and Panchari syncline are the prominent structural features of this belt from south to north. Muree thrust limits the boundary of the belt.
11 UTTAR PRADESH AND UTTARAKHAND The Uttar Pradesh covers an area of 2,47,933 Sq km represented by vast alluvial fill of middle Ganga drainage system. The southern part of Uttar Pradesh is characterized by rocky upland. The northern fringe area represented by Tarai and Bhabhar geomorphic units flanking the Siwalik Foothills. Uttarakhand covers an area of 46480 Sq km and represents the Western Himalayan domain divisible into Sub or Outer Himalaya, the Lesser Himalaya, the Higher Himalaya and the Tethys Himalaya from south to north.
GEOLOGY
In Uttar Pradesh, geologically the rocks ranging in age from Archean to Holocene have been been found. The oldest crystalline rocks are confined to the southern and southeastern part of the state and are extensions of sequences exposed in the M.P., Bihar and Jharkhand. These are dominantly represented by basement gneisses, older metamorphites with younger granitoids as intrusives; metasedimentaries; sedimentaries and the alluvial. The metamorphites include various types of schist, quartzite, marble and gneiss. In general, the metasedimentaries belong to Palaeo and Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic period. The sedimentaries include rocks of the Vindhyan Supergroup represent Meso to Neoproterozoic period and Gondwana Supergroup, Late Palaeozoic period. Basic volcanic flows of Late Mesozoic - Early Tertiary period are occurring as capping over earlier sequences as detached outcrops. A major part of the state is covered by Ganga Alluvium. Several mineral deposits of economic importance occur in association with the above rock units in the state. Gneisses with metasedimentarty enclaves along with intrusive granite and other igneous rocks constitute the dominant lithology and represent the oldest suite of rocks. These are confined to the southern part of the state and exposed in the Bundelkhand and Sonbhadra regions. The natural relationship between different lithounits in these oldest rocks has been obliterated by metamorphism, migmatisation, granitisation and repeated deformation. In Bundelkhand region, granite- gneiss and granitoids constitute the dominant rock types and the assemblage is known as Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex (BGC). In Sonbhadra region, gneiss is the dominant rock and the assemblage is termed as Dudhi Gneissic Complex (DGC). The Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex (BGC) contains a wide variety of plutonic and hypabyssal rocks dominated by granites of several generations, gneisses, migmatites and leucogranites. Among the enclaves, metabasic rocks are widespread. Rafts of schists and metasediments are also present. Migmatites, different types of granite, quartz reefs and younger basic intrusives have been identified and assigned to various types. Quartz reefs trending NE -SW and forming wall like ridges rising upto 175m above the ground are common. Dolerite dykes trending NW-SE are very common. The Dudhi Gneissic Complex consists mainly of granite gneiss, migmatites and non-foliated, massive younger granite with enclaves of metamorphites and veins of pegmatite, aplite and quartz. This is the westward continuation of the Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGC) of Bihar/Jharkhand. Metasedimentary and meta-igneous enclaves occur with their long axes parallel to the foliation of the enclosing gneiss which is generally ENE -WSW. Dykes of doleritic/gabbroic composition transect the gneissic country. Rocks of Mahakoshal Group, Bijawar Group and Vindhyan Supergroup constitute the Proterozoic sequence. The Mahakoshal Group includes metasediments with interlayered metavolcanics and granitic bodies intruding it. Bijawar Group is represented by a sequence of ferruginous quartzite, carbonate, phosphorite, sandstone and tuffaceous rocks. Isolated outcrops of Ajabgarh Group occur around Mathura area. Metabasalts, tuffs, agglomerates and ultramafic (Kimberlite ?) plugs occur within a linear tectonic belt in the Jungel valley of Mirzapur - Sonbhadra area. The Jungel volcanics and sedimentaries are supposed to represent Palaeo to Meso Proterozoic period. The Vindhyan sequence - resting unconformably over the Mahakoshal and Bijawar groups - has been divided into four groups viz. Semri, Kaimur, Rewa and Bhander in the ascending order. The Semri Group includes carbonates, tuffs, shale and minor sandstone, often glauconitic. The Kaimur Group consists of a thick arenite - argillite sequence. The Rewa Group is represented by alternate sequence of argillite and arenite. The Bhander Group is consisting of shale, greenish shale, siltstone, reddish brown to purple pink, spotted sandstone with shale partings and quartz arenite at top. Rocks belonging to the Gondwana Supergroup of Permo-Carb period, are exposed in a small area in Sonbhadra district. It is composed of conglomerate, sandstone, gritty at places, pink and pale green shales. Detached outcrops of basic volcanics (dolerite to basalt), representing the Deccan Trap, are found as capping over Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex, Bijawar Group and Vindhyan Supergroup in Bundelkhand region, southern Uttar Pradesh.

INCIDENCES OF SULPHIDE MINERALISATION IN GUPTKASHI AREA RUDRAPRAYAG DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND
Sulphide mineralisation is being reported for the first time from Guptkashi area of Mandakini valley in Uttarakhand by a team from Project Himalayan Geology, Northern region during FS 2012-13. The incidence of copper sulphide was initialy noticed as malachite and azurite stains. Later; on further investigation, incidences of chalcopyrite, bornite, ankerite and doubtful arsenopyrite have been recorded. The mineralisation is distributed in about 900m wide fault breccia zone intruded by concordant metabasic bodies. The host rock is dolomite/dolomitic limestone and is severly brecciated. The area forms a part of the Bhilangana Formation comprising mainly biotite- granite gneiss, psammitic gneiss, quartzite, sericite-quartz schist, sporadic crystalline limestone/dolomite and metabasic of low to medium grade amphibolite facies. The lithological and tectonic set up; primary, secondary and oxidised (gossan) rich zones and extension of incidences in the dip direction – all indicate mineralisation to be promising.
30 Chemical analysis of some of the spot samples collected from the area, have given very encouraging results with Cu upto 2.43%, Mn 1.89%, Co 159 ppm and Pb 657 ppm, well above the average crustal abundance of the elements (Rudnick and Gao, 2003). The results of the channel samples are still awaited.

31 WORKSHOP ON STM STUDIES OF SIWALIK ROCKS
A two days in-house discussions on STM studies of Siwalik Belt of rocks was held on 27th & 28th July 2012 in VKS Varadan Hall, GSI, NR, Lucknow. The Dy. Director General & HoD, NR; Dr. D.M. Mohabey, Dy.DG, SU: UP&UK; S/Shri M. Chakradhar, Dy.DG, SU: PH&HP, Chandigarh and S.P. Bhartiya, Dy.DG, SU: J&K, along with the Directors and officers of the respective state units attended the meeting. Besides, Dr. V.P. Misra, and Shri A.K. Malaviya, Dy.DGs (Retd.) were among the dignitaries who attended the proceedings. The agenda of the discussions was to find out an 'Indian Reference Section', if possile, from the STM work so far carried out on Siwalik Belt and to enlighten the new geologists who are carrying out the STM of Siwalik Belt in different state units of GSI, NR. The proceeding was divided, in two parts, first, the deliberation by the officers from STM Projects in different state units of GSI, NR followed by the deliberations by the experts.
Suggestions and Recommendations:
• In order to solve the stratigraphy of Siwalik Belt, it was suggested by the experts that for the time being Siwaliks may be given the status of Group. • While naming the different lithounits, the standard code of stratigraphic nomenclature to be followed uniformaly in all the STM – Siwalik Projects. • As per the norms, the name as proposed by the first worker is to be retained viz. The word “Pinjor, Kolar” etc. Lower Boulder Conglomerate to be designated as Boulder Con- glomerate Formation. • Use the nomenclature of lithounits given by GSI workers viz. Mohargarh Formation in- stead of Dhok Pathan Formatiion, Saketi Formation instead of Tatrot Formation and 'Kalar' Formation instead of Boulder Conglomerate Formation should be retained. • Correlation of different units of Siwaliks in different SUs may be carried out to bring uni- formity of Siwalik Belt. • Correlation of Siwalik fauna with contemporary fossils in Middle Pleistocene of Peninsu- lar part of India may be inducted in future FSP items. • Synthesize the work carried out so far to correlate, build up stratigraphy and find out In- dian Reference Section as the identification of an Indian Reference Section is still found difficult. • Classification of Indian Siwalik needs revision and uniform lithostratigraphy classifica- tion of Indian Siwalik is required.
32 • Once the mapping of Siwalik Belt is completed, a full fledged workshop is to be held and a memoir may be released. • Section with preserved top and bottom sequence and tectonically less disturbed are to be used as Type section. • An attempt to be made to correlate the recent study with the available catalogue, atlas and all the fossil information. • The area for new FSP proposals should be in continuity of the earlier work, carried out even in adjoining state units, e.g. SU: UP&UK should start the work from where the work will be ended in F.S. 2012-13. Likewise, the SU: J&K should initiate the work in continuity of SU: P&HP. • SU: J&K to take up the lithostratigraphic mapping programme of Siwaliks in future FSP'- s. • Regional programme can be taken for correlation of Siwalik fauna with contemporary fossils in Middle Pleistocene of Peninsular part of India. • After the completion of lithostratigphic work of Siwalik Belt, the paleontological studies need to be revised.
