Brief Introduction of Jalna district :

The town Jalna, the headquarters of this district traceable as far back as the time of Lord Rama, the hero of Ramayana, whose consort Sita is supposed to have resided here. The local people still point out the place where Rama’s palace stood. It was then known as Janakpur. Subsequently at the desire of a wealthy Mohammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna from his occupation of Jalaha or weaver. Archaeological excavations made in the neighbouring district suggest that this region was occupied in the early stone age. The earliest period known from excavations is the Chalcolithic or early bronze age. According to the literary tradition when the Aryans penetrated to the

2

Deccan, the whole region was covered by thick jungle. Agastya was the first Aryan who crossed the Vindhyas and fixed his residence on the bank of the Godavari. From the Ramayana, we learn that Lord Rama accompanied by his brother Lakshman and wife Sita met Agastya near the Godavari. It is said that Buddhism was first introduced in in the reign of Ashoka. This led to the excavation of caves in the different parts of Maharashtra. After the death of Ashoka, the Satavahanas rose to power in the Deccan and they made Prastishthana (Modern Paithan) as their capital. They received support from local rulers called Maharathis. Their Kingdom extended up to , , Ahmadnagar, and Jalna districts. During the period of Satavahanas, the Jalna district must have attained a high level of prosperity. In the sixth century, the Chalukyas took over this region. Badami (Bijapur district) was their capital. Their kingdom extended up to the Narmada in the north. The Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang calls about King Pulakeshi from Chalukya dynasty as the Lord of Maharashtra. From the early thirteenth century onwards, Muslim rulers started invading this region. They conquered many small forts. The prominent being the Devgiri fort. Jalna was held in ‘Jagir’ by one of the generals of Akbar, Abul Fazl who had made it his residence for a short period. It was under Marathas after 1728, till extinction of the Maratha power and subsequently reverted to the Nizams of . The Nizams ruled this region till 1948. After Independence, the Hyderabad state acceded to the Indian union after a brief but brilliant police action that put an end to the Nizams rule consequent upon the integration of Jagirs and Sarf-e-Khas, all the taluka boundaries were reconstituted in April 1950 and a new mahal (Tahsil) with headquarters at Jafferabad was created. In 1956, following the reorganization of States, the region was transferred to Bombay State. Since 1st May 1960, it forms a part of Maharashtra. For administrative purpose, the Aurangabad district was divided in 1981 and anew district Jalna was created.

Jalna district is approximately situated at the center part of Maharashtra state of Republic of India and in northern direction of Marathwada region. Specifically district lies between 19o1’ north to 21o3 North Latitudes and 75o4’ East to 76o4’ East Longitude. It falls in Survey of India toposheet no 46P, 47 N, 55 D and 56 A.

Jalna was formerly a part of Nizam State and after the Marathwada Mukti Sangram, became part of India, as a tahsil of Aurangabad district.

Jalna district erstwhile a part of Aurangabad district was formed on 1st May 1981 by carving out Jalna, , Jafrabad, tahsils of Aurangabad district and tahsil of district.The boundaries of Jalna district are adjacent to Parbhani & Buldhana on east, Aurangabad on west, on north and Beed on south.Jalna district covers an area of 7,612 Sq.Kms, which is 2.47% of the total state area.

The district head quarter is at Jalna & well connected to state capital and national capital by broad gauge railway line. Major towns of the state are also connected by state highways. Jalna district is well known for it’s hybrid seed industries, steel re-rolling mills, bidi industry & agro

3 based industries like dal mill. The district is also known for the highest production of Sweet Lemon(Mosambi) in the state.

The peoples of Jalna district played a important role in the Marathwada MuktiSangram, in which Shri. Janardan Mama Nagapurkar of Jalna laid down his life for motherland.

Jalna district is situated at the center of the state, therefore the Union Ministry of Communication has established satellite monitoring station at Indewadi near Jalna city. This makes it convenient to communicates with the other satellites in space.

According to 2011 census, the total area of the district is 7718 sq. Km., it is 2.51% as compared to area of Maharashtra state. About 1.32% of the total area i.e. 102.0 sq.km is urban area and 98.68% i.e 7616 sq. Km is rural area. For administrative convenience, there are eight talukas Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Jalna, , Ambad, Ghansawangi, Partur, and four subdivisions for eight Tehsil. For each sub-division there is a separate sub-divisional office, Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan and Partur. There is Zill-Parishad at district level and under its control (8) Panchayat committees are functioning.

As per Census 2011, there are 971 villages in the district, out of which 963 villages and 8 desert villages are located. There are 806 separate Gram Panchayats and 157 Gram Panchayats in the district. The district headquarter is located at Jalna and there are district collector office and district level offices of various departments located at Jalna. In the district Jalna, Ambad Partur and Bhokardan are Municipal Councils. The nagar panchayats Jafrabad, Badnapur, Muntha and Ghansawangi. Jalna Nagarparishad is a ‘A’ category, Ambad, Partur, Bhokardan, these three municipal councils are ‘C’ category. Agricultural Produce Market Committee are functional at Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan Partur and Mantha.

Citywise historical importance of Jalna district is acknowleged from various references as below

Jalna :

The Jalna city is situated on the banks of Kundalika river,is the premier commercial centre of the Marathvada region. Subsequently, as the desire of a wealthy Muhammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna, from his occupation of Julaha or weaver.

Jalna is a muncipal town and continues to be an impotant handloom and powerloom weaving centre. Among the handloom societies working on co-operative basis, the foremost is the Markandeya Handloom weaving society having nearly 87 looms. Like Aurangabad and Paithan, the town was once known for the manufacture of fine gold and silver thread and silk textiles. There are also cotton ginning and pressing factories.

Jalna was surrounded by a mud and brick wall but it is all in ruins except two gates, knwon as the Murti Darwaza and the Hyderabad gate. Jamshed Khan, the governor during Malik Akbar’s

4 time constructed a fine Masjid and a sarai, also the Moti Talav, a large tank to the west of the town. A system of underground pipes conveyed water to reserviors, in the town. the largest of which is in quadraangle of the sarai. The system is no longer in working order. When the city was at the height of its prosperity it had five tanks. Jalna now derives its water supply mainly from the Jaikwadi Dam and also Ghanevadi tank.

During Akbars time Jalna was held in as jagir by one of his generals, and Abul Fazl has made it his residence for a short period. Nizam -ul- Mulk Asaf Jah also favoured the town as being more healthy than Aurangabad and it was he who ordered Kabil Khan in 1725 to build the fort together with citadel situated to the east of the town and which is today known as Mastgad. The citadel is being used to accommodate the muncipal offices. The fort is quadrangular in shape,with semi circular bastions at the corners.

It is reported that the inner and the outer gates were constructed by Asaf Jah himself in 1711and 1723, respectively. The citadel bears of Persian inscription recording the date when it was constructed. Within the citadel is a large well containing a series of galleries and chambers which are now filled up with rubbish. At the entrance to the well is a defaced inscription in Balbodh. Subsequently a part of Land revenue of Jalna was collected by the Marathas. The place has had frequent changes of masters. For a long time, it was held by one of the Shinde’s dependents, but shortly after the battle of Udgir in 1760, a rival claimant from Pune endeavoured to seize it. A sanguinary conflict took place which resulted into the discomfiture of the Pune sardar. It was taken possession of by Colonel Stevenson’s Troops in 1803 in the famouse battle of Assaye, a village in Jafrabad tahsil on the river of Juah located around 10 K.M east of Bhokardan . After the extinction of the Maratha power, it finally reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. In 1855 it was the scene of a conflict between the Rohilas and the Company’s troops. After a stubborn conflict in which about 100 were killed or wounded on both sides, the Rohilas surrendered.

Jafrabad :

Jafferabad is situated at the confluence of the Khelna and the Purna rivers. It is surrounded by a fortified stone wall, now in a very dilapidated state; but a small stone gadhi inside is in fair order. The place derived its name from its founder Jafar Khan, who held it along with 115 other villages in jagir from Aurangzeb, the Moghal Empeor. There are in all seven mosques and temples in Jafferabad. The principal mosque has a Persian inscription recording its construction under the orders of Aurangzeb by Rizazath Khan in 1076 Hijri (A.D.1664). Within the fortifications there is a large handsome watercistern with an inscription stating that it was built at the command of Shah Jahan by Mustafa Khan, the Turkoman in Hijri 1040 (A.D.1630).

Ghansavangi :

From the broken tanks and numerous dislapidated tombs which surround it, Ghansavangi appears to have been a place of much importance in the olden days. In the north-west is a large open plain where at one time it was contemplated to station the Hyderabad Subsidiary Force. An annual fair is held in honour of Narsimha.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 1015]

Ambad :

Ambad situated between a ridge of hills is the headquarters of the tahsil of the same name. It lies along Jalna-Gevrai road the former place being the principal commercial centre in the Marathvada region.

Matsyodari Temple-

It appears that once Ambad enjoyed great prosperity, the marks of which are still seen in the decayed stonebuildings and ruined walls and gateways. A local tradition ascribes the foundation of the town to a Hindu Raja by name Amba Rishi who being weary of the cares of running the Government went and settled in a cave in a hill to the east of the town. This site is now occupied by a shrine dedicated to goddess Matsyodari, so called because the hill resembles the shape of a fish (matsya). It is believed to be one of the oldest temples in the region. A largely attended annual fair is held at the temple in October.

Khandoba Temple-

The town also contains a temple of Khandoba and a masonry Kund (tank), both of which were constructed by that pious and philanthropic queen, Ahilyabai Holkar, about the end of the eighteenth century. The structure to Khandoba has three temples joined together an arrangement often found in the south, but rarely in the north, and capable of giving a greater variety of effect of light and shade than is observed, in plainer forms. The shrine is surrounded by a stone-wal and has a gallery all round. The entrance is surmounted by a nagarkhana or chamber for temple-musicians. The courtyard has an iron-pillar on either side, besides a figure of a lion standing on four small elephants, with a fifth elephant in its mouth. Some finely sculptured images are seen scattered about inside. The shrine is crowned by three large shikhars in a line, with a small one at either end. They are built of bricks and are variously ornamented. None of these shikhars are alike. The village has also a masonry kund believed to have been built by Ahilyabai Holkar. It has fallen into ruins.

Among the cults prevailing in the region the one espoused by Svami Ramanand, a devotee of Rama, claims a considerable following Svami Ramanand, originally from Gondi village near

6

Ambad, made Ambad his abode and preached his doctrines. Achhutashram Svami was his chief disciple. The memory of Ramanand Swami is highly revered in and around Ambad.

Badnapur :

Badnapur is situated on the right bank of the Dudhna about ten miles west of Jalna. It is here that a meeting took place between General Wellesley and Colonel Stevenson at which the plan of operations for attacking the Marathas, two days before the battle of Assaye, was drawn up. Amidst a grove of trees, a short distance to the north-east of the village, stands a dargah to Mir Gulam Shah.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 961]

Bhokardan :

Bhokardan is settled along the right bank of the Khelna river, a tributary of the Purna.

In 1852 the Patel of a village named Javla enraged at the deprivation of his appointment collected a force of 300 Arabs and Rohilas and attacked Bhokardan, but was bought off. About seven years later he again attacked the town which was defended by the naib and was bought off a second time. The Rohilas were occasionally troublesome after this. They were finally subdued by a contingent force of 500 men and 2 guns sent from Aurangabad.

Bhokardan is surrounded by a ruined wall. There is an inner citadel which served to house the offices of the tahsildar and other minor officials. The marks of its former prosperity are discernible in the solid masonry walls which have collapsed for the most part, while the bands of earth scattered round the town mark the sites of once beautiful fruit and vegetable gardens.

Drainage

Jalna district is situated in the upper Godavari Basin. The central hill range known as Jalna Hill is an upland, plateau and is drained by Purna river and its tributaries. Southern portion is comparatively low land, flat area terminating at Bank of in the South. District slopes towards south and average elevation above sea level is 534 meters.

7

The district is well drained by river system, which are dendritic type and have matured valleys. There are two main drainage systems viz: (1) Godavari river and (2) the Purna and Dudhna rivers. The river Godavari forms the entire southern boundary of the district in Ambad and Partur talukas. It is one of the most important river of Deccan plateau and whole district of Jalna falls in its great basin. The direct tributaries of the river are Shivbhadra, Yellohadrs, Galhati and Musa riers. All these tributaries rise from the Ajanta and Ellora plateau and flow south and eastwards to join the Godavari river. While most of the smaller streams dry up in summer, the major rivers are perennial. The Purna river rises from near Mehun about 8 km NE of Satmala hills and at a height of about 725 m amsl. It is most major river after Godavari and drains entire area of Jafrabad, Bhokardan and Parts of Jalna district. Its tributaries are the Charna, the Khelna, the Jui, the Dhamna, the Anjan, the Girja, the Jivrakha and the Dudhna. The Dudhna river is the largest tributary of the Purna river which is nearly as long as main river itself. It has the longest course in Jalna district and drains parts of Ambad, Jalna and Partur talukas with its tributaries such as the Baldi, the Kundilikha, the Kalyan, the Lahuki, the Sukna, etc.

Climate

The district has a sub-Tropical climate, in which the bulk of rainfall is received from the southwest monsoon, between June to September. The average annual rainfall of the district ranges between 650 to 750 mm. The district often experiences drought with rainfall recording as low as 400 to 450 mm.

The rainy season is followed by Winter, which last up to February, during which the minimum temperature ranges between 90C to 100C and maximum temperature ranges between 30 0C & 310C. The winter is followed by hot summer, which continues up to June. The maximum day temperature ranges between 42 0C & 43 0C’s during summer.

The district has dry and tropical climate with very hot summer and mild winter with humid SW monsoon season of moderate rainfall. The climate can be divided into three main seasons viz; a) Hot to warm humid monsoon season from June to September. b) Cool dry winter season from October to February and c) Hot dry summer season from March to June.

Temperature during rainy season ranges from 21 to 300 C. In winter season temperature fall appreciably and range from 10 to 250C. In nights temperature range is 20 to 250C with privilege of cool breeze. The rainfall record shows that the district has two regions on the rainfall pattern. The first comprises Bhokardan, Jafrabad and Jalna talukas with rainfall of about 700 mm favorable for Khariff cropping. The second region comprises Ambad and Partur talukas with rainfall of about 800 mm, more favorable for rabi cropping. Rainfall is not uniform in all parts of the district as

8 assured rainfall areas are Jalna and Ambad talukas and the area of moderate rainfall of 625 to 700 mm is Bhokardan and Jafrabad talukas. The average annual rainfall in the area is 725.80mm. About 83% of the rainfall occurs during June to September and July is the rainiest month. The air is generally high over the district except during the southwest monsoon when the relative humidity is high. The summer months are the driest when the relative humidity is generally between 20 and 25 percent in the afternoon

Winds are generally light to moderate with increase in speed during the later half of the hot season and in monsoon season. The winds blow predominantly from directions between west and north during the hot season. They are mostly from directions between southwest and northwest during the southwest monsoon season.

Natural Economic Resources

Deccan Traps cover a major part of the District. Trap rocks are very hard and compact and are ark grey in colour. Trap rocks being dense, hard and compact are extensively used as building stones, road metal, railway ballast and as an aggregate in cement concrete. Erosive agents and weathering together have formed good fertile soils near the river beds. Jalna district has some gem stone quarries.

Jalna district is having good Industrial background, specially famous for the Seed and Steel industries. The industrial development at Jalna is widely based on Engineering, Plastic and Agriculture.

Pulses mills, oil mills, refineries, steel re-rolling, plastic, tiles & cement pipe, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides and the co-operative sugar factories are also playing important part in the industrial development of jalna.

There are also cotton ginning and pressing factories and an agricultural market produce committee handling large quantities of all kinds of agricultural produce, including cotton. In view of the overall industrial backwardness of the region, the state government has initiated a master plan to encourage the establishment of of small and large- scale industrial units. Under this plan Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has set up an industrial area in Jalna consisting of …large-scale, …medium scale and ..small scale industries. Jalna industrial area has a large number of steel rolling mills, a unit manufacturing ball bearings, agro based units like dal mills and most significant being large number of seed manufacturing units; Mahyco, Mahindra, Bejo-Shital are some of them. The MIDC has recently announced to setup bio technology park (BT Park) at Jalna with the help of private sector units. This park will give a tremendous boost to the BT sector in the backward area of Marathvada.

The Mahyco, Mahindra, Bejo-Shital are some of the leading well known hybrid seed industries.

NRB bearing Ltd is the leading manufacturer of ball bearings used in automobiles and other heavy industrial purposes.

The Sugar factories in the Jalna district :

1. Jalna Sahkari Sugar Factory, Ramnagar, Jalna. 2. Samarth Sahkari Sugar Factory, Samarthnagar, Ambad. 3. Bageshwari Sahkari Sugar Factory, Partur. 4. Rameshwari Sahkari Sugar Factory, Bhokardan. 5. Sagar Sugar Factory. 6. Samruddhi Sugar Factory, Devi Dahegaon, Tq. Ghansavangi.

Forestry

The total area under the forest is 6800 hectares which is only 0.89% of the total geographical area of the district. The total forest area of Maharashtra State is about 5366 Thousand hectares which is 17.42% of its total geographical area. Jalna district accounts for only 0.12% of the total State forest area which is very negligible. Hence efforts should be made to bring more land under forest area. The forest produce includes timber and fuel wood, grass, gum and tendu leaves. During the year 1998-99 the total revenue earned form forest produce was Rs. 3.34 Lac out of which Rs. 2.73 Lac was from sale of tendu leaves.

Minerals and mining

Minerals of great economic importance are not found in Jalna district. The geology of the region consists of dark coloured colcanic lava flows. It is spread in the form of horizontal sheets or beds. Because of their dominantly basaltic composition and the tendancy to form flat – topped plateau, the lavas are termed plateau basalt. Trap rocks are hard , dense and durable and are suitable for building /construction purposes. Economically important mneral required for ndustrialization not found in the district. Hence district has basalt mining for infrastructural requirements with natural river sand up to some extend. At some places some patches of agate are found but with inferior quality. Jalna district has some gem stone quarries.

Soil and Cropping pattern The Soils of the district are derived from the basaltic lava flows. Thickness of the soil cover is less in northern and western region where ground elevations are higher and consequently soil regur, gravels, murum are transported down to lower regions through gravity, water or winds. Soils in central, southern and eastern regions of the district near the banks of Godavari and Dudhna rivers are thicker. Here soils ranging in depth from 1 to 2 m are black and rich in plant nutrients.

Profile description and analytical data of some typical soils are as follows:

10 a) Light soils occur along hills, rugged regions, plateaux and elevate plains. These soils are brown to grey in colour, less fertile as plant nutrients are less and range in depth from 0-15 cm. They comprise grains of basalt, quartz and clays with calcareous nodules and gravels. b) Medium soils occur along undulating plains, depressions in hilly regions etc. These are dark brown in colour and contain more plant nutrients. The soil ranges in thickness from 15 to 40 cms and comprises clays with some silica and lie over murum at 40 to 100 cm depth. c) Deep soils occur along plains of lower elevation, depressions and along river banks. These are dark black cotton soils, plastic, sticky, rich in plant nutrients and are very fertile. These soils range in thickness from 50 to 200 cm and lie over murum at 2 to 4 meters depth comprising clays, loam, lime etc.

Agriculture

Most of the people of this District are engaged in agricultural activities. According to Census 2011, percentage of the total workers engaged as cultivators is 45.01% and as agricultural labourers is 32.33% (percent) in the District. Together they constitute 71.33 %(percent) of the total workers of the District. District is producing Jowar, Soyabean,Cotton, Pearlmillete,maiz,green gram, peas as most common agricultural crops. The District is divided in four subdivisions and eight tahsils.

There are four Subdivisions and eight talukas listed as

Name of Sub division Taluka 1. Jalna Jalna,Badnapur 2. Partur Partur,Mantha 3. Ambad Ambad,Ghansawangi 4. Bhokardan Bhokardan, Jafrabad

6.0 Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of the District :

Sand is replenishable. Due to sparse rainfall over the last few years the river flows to an average height but flows to its maximum height only during and just after monsoon season. Mining of Building Grade sand from the river bed will not have any impact on the ground water body in the area. During heavy rains the floodwaters overflow the bank and inundate the fields and dry regions. The floods have its own ways of depositing sand not only at the bank but also on the dry surface region. Added to the deposition of sand on the river basin by stratification through lateral deposition of sands on the land surface is by Differential Lateral Deposition (DLD). The later grade is coarse, medium and fine sand to mud and soil beyond. In this soil, agricultural operation goes on from the bank to the cultivated land surface. The yearly deposition of sand is by natural filling during flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The deposition pattern will be monitored every year & measurements will be carried out as soon as the monsoon comes to an end. Deposition rate for the year 2020-21 is monitored, calculated and mapped with the help of technical consultant. Data for gauging of stream is mapped and enclosed below. Data for Siltation is mapped and enclosed ..

23

Based on siltation rate and survey every year sand ghats are proposed for scooping of sand and auctioned as per the State Government Policy empowered under rule 15 of Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 and amendments thereof.

Sediment refers to the conglomerate of materials, organic and inorganic, that can be carried away by water, wind or ice. While the term is often used to indicate soil-based, mineral matter (e.g. clay, silt and sand), decomposing organic substances and inorganic biogenic material are also considered sediment . Most mineral sediment comes from erosion and weathering, while organic sediment is typically detritus and decomposing material such as algae.

Sediment particles come in different sizes and can be inorganic or organic in origin.

These particulates are typically small, with clay defined as particles less than 0.00195 mm in diameter, and coarse sand reaching up only to 1.5 mm in diameter. However, during a flood or other high flow event, even large rocks can be classified as sediment as they are carried downstream . Sediment is a naturally occurring element in many bodies of water, though it can be influenced by anthropogenic factors .

In an aquatic environment, sediment can either be suspended (floating in the water column) or bedded (settled on the bottom of a body of water)

In other words water flow tries to scour its surface whenever it flows in the channel. Silt or gravels enen larger boulders are detached from its bed or banks. The moving water sweeps these detached particles in downstream along its flow. Silting and scouring is not very uncommon and must be avoided by proper designs. It reduces supply level of water. The channel section gets reduced by silt and reduces discharging capacity. Sediments seriously threatens various projects due to silt carried out by rivers up to point of interceptions. Sediment is also threatening denudation of forests. Sediment is a major obstruction on the flow line . It shorten longevity of channel. It causes soil erosion. Therefore data base must be needed for policy making and planning. Sediments are calculated as sediment load. There are three types of sediments

Coarse Sediments Particle size above 0.2mm Water sample passing through 100/72 mesh sieve (BSS). Residue over sieve is washed, dried and weighed It gives coarse sediments in gm/lit Medium Sediments Particle size ranging 0.075mm-0.2mm After removal of coarse sediments residual water passed through 200mesh sieve (BSS), we get medium sements

24

Fine Sediments Particle size less than 0.075mm Filtrate and washing residue allowed to settle for 12hrs. About 5-10 % alum solution is added to hasten coagulation of colloidal silt Using Whatman Paper no02 filter paper, residue is filtered, dried and weighed. We will get fine sediments in gm/lit Co relation between Siltation & Sediment Load

Siltation is deposition by fine particulate terrestrial clastic material, with a particle size dominated by silt or clay. It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments, and to the increased accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms where they are undesirable. Siltation is most often caused by soil erosion or sediment spill.

Sometimes siltation is called sediment pollution. The total Sediment load includes all particles moving as bedload, suspended load, and wash load

Bedload

Bedload is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a waterway. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous . Bedload occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bedload transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bedload . In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bedload particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended.

Suspended Load

While there is often overlap, the suspended load and suspended sediment are not the same thing. Suspended sediment are any particles found in the water column, whether the water is flowing or not. The suspended load, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment carried downstream within the water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles above the bed . The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on the flow rate . Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition, suspended sediment will not necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slows.

25

Wash Load

The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest suspended sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow period 11. Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. However, during flow periods, the wash load and suspended load are indistinguishable.

Turbidity in lakes and slow moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also increases. While turbidity cannot be used to estimate sediment transport, it can approximate suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location.

River Dynamics (Physical) Manjara, tarwaja, tiru, lendi Rivers are in the matured stage of development running in wide serpentine course. The river meanders with convex & concave shape. The river in its course impinges on convex side. The concave side abounds with sand grain. The mining operation is most profitable on the concave side.

There is yearly deposition of sand as the amount of sand excavated gets redeposit in the pits by natural filing during flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The deposition pattern will be monitored every year & measurements will be carried out as soon as the monsoon comes to an end and fresh excavation will be carried.

7. General Profile of the district :

The town Jalna, the headquarters of this district traceable as far back as the time of Lord Rama, the hero of Ramayana, whose consort Sita is supposed to have resided here. The local people still point out the place where Rama’s palace stood. It was then known as Janakpur. Subsequently at the desire of a wealthy Mohammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna from his occupation of Jalaha or weaver. Archaeological excavations made in the neighbouring district suggest that this region was occupied in the early stone age. The earliest period known from excavations is the Chalcolithic or early bronze age. According to the literary tradition when the Aryans penetrated to the Deccan, the whole region was covered by thick jungle. Agastya was the first Aryan who crossed the Vindhyas and fixed his residence on the bank of the Godavari. From the Ramayana, we learn that Lord Rama accompanied by his brother Lakshman and wife Sita met Agastya near the Godavari. It is said that Buddhism was first introduced in Maharashtra in the reign of Ashoka. This led to the excavation of caves in the different parts of Maharashtra. After the death of Ashoka, the Satavahanas rose to power in the Deccan and they made Prastishthana (Modern Paithan) as their capital. They received support from local rulers called Maharathis. Their Kingdom extended up to Pune, Nashik, Ahmadnagar, Aurangabad and Jalna districts. During the period of Satavahanas, the Jalna district must have attained a high level of prosperity. In the sixth century, the Chalukyas took over this region. Badami (Bijapur district) was their capital. Their kingdom extended up to the Narmada in the north. The Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang calls about King Pulakeshi from Chalukya dynasty as the Lord of Maharashtra. From the early thirteenth century onwards, Muslim rulers started invading this region. They conquered many small forts. The prominent being the Devgiri fort. Jalna was held in ‘Jagir’ by one of the generals of Akbar, Abul Fazl who had made it his residence for a short period. It was under Marathas after 1728, till extinction of the Maratha power and subsequently reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. The Nizams ruled this region till 1948. After Independence, the Hyderabad state acceded to the Indian union after a brief but brilliant police action that put an end to the Nizams rule consequent upon the integration of Jagirs and Sarf-e-Khas, all the taluka boundaries were reconstituted in April 1950 and a new mahal (Tahsil) with headquarters at Jafferabad was created. In 1956, following the reorganization of States, the Marathwada region was transferred to Bombay State. Since 1st May 1960, it forms a part of Maharashtra. For administrative purpose, the Aurangabad district was divided in 1981 and anew district Jalna was created.

Jalna district is approximately situated at the center part of Maharashtra state of Republic of India and in northern direction of Marathwada region. Specifically district lies between 19o1’ north to 21o3 North Latitudes and 75o4’ East to 76o4’ East Longitude. It falls in Survey of India toposheet no 46P, 47 N, 55 D and 56 A.

Jalna was formerly a part of Nizam State and after the Marathwada Mukti Sangram, became part of India, as a tahsil of Aurangabad district.

29

Jalna district erstwhile a part of Aurangabad district was formed on 1st May 1981 by carving out Jalna, Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Ambad tahsils of Aurangabad district and Partur tahsil of .The boundaries of Jalna district are adjacent to Parbhani & Buldhana on east, Aurangabad on west, Jalgaon on north and Beed on south.Jalna district covers an area of 7,612 Sq.Kms, which is 2.47% of the total state area.

The district head quarter is at Jalna & well connected to state capital and national capital by broad gauge railway line. Major towns of the state are also connected by state highways. Jalna district is well known for it’s hybrid seed industries, steel re-rolling mills, bidi industry & agro based industries like dal mill. The district is also known for the highest production of Sweet Lemon(Mosambi) in the state.

The peoples of Jalna district played a important role in the Marathwada MuktiSangram, in which Shri. Janardan Mama Nagapurkar of Jalna laid down his life for motherland.

Jalna district is situated at the center of the state, therefore the Union Ministry of Communication has established satellite monitoring station at Indewadi near Jalna city. This makes it convenient to communicates with the other satellites in space.

According to 2011 census, the total area of the district is 7718 sq. Km., it is 2.51% as compared to area of Maharashtra state. About 1.32% of the total area i.e. 102.0 sq.km is urban area and 98.68% i.e 7616 sq. Km is rural area. For administrative convenience, there are eight talukas Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Jalna, Badnapur, Ambad, Ghansawangi, Partur, Mantha and four subdivisions for eight Tehsil. For each sub-division there is a separate sub-divisional office, Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan and Partur. There is Zill-Parishad at district level and under its control (8) Panchayat committees are functioning.

As per Census 2011, there are 971 villages in the district, out of which 963 villages and 8 desert villages are located. There are 806 separate Gram Panchayats and 157 Gram Panchayats in the district. The district headquarter is located at Jalna and there are district collector office and district level offices of various departments located at Jalna. In the district Jalna, Ambad Partur and Bhokardan are Municipal Councils. The nagar panchayats Jafrabad, Badnapur, Muntha and Ghansawangi. Jalna Nagarparishad is a ‘A’ category, Ambad, Partur, Bhokardan, these three municipal councils are ‘C’ category. Agricultural Produce Market Committee are functional at Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan Partur and Mantha.

Citywise historical importance of Jalna district is acknowleged from various references as below

Jalna :

The Jalna city is situated on the banks of Kundalika river,is the premier commercial centre of the Marathvada region. Subsequently, as the desire of a wealthy Muhammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna, from his occupation of Julaha or weaver.

30

Jalna is a muncipal town and continues to be an impotant handloom and powerloom weaving centre. Among the handloom societies working on co-operative basis, the foremost is the Markandeya Handloom weaving society having nearly 87 looms. Like Aurangabad and Paithan, the town was once known for the manufacture of fine gold and silver thread and silk textiles. There are also cotton ginning and pressing factories.

Jalna was surrounded by a mud and brick wall but it is all in ruins except two gates, knwon as the Murti Darwaza and the Hyderabad gate. Jamshed Khan, the governor during Malik Akbar’s time constructed a fine Masjid and a sarai, also the Moti Talav, a large tank to the west of the town. A system of underground pipes conveyed water to reserviors, in the town. the largest of which is in quadraangle of the sarai. The system is no longer in working order. When the city was at the height of its prosperity it had five tanks. Jalna now derives its water supply mainly from the Jaikwadi Dam and also Ghanevadi tank.

During Akbars time Jalna was held in as jagir by one of his generals, and Abul Fazl has made it his residence for a short period. Nizam -ul- Mulk Asaf Jah also favoured the town as being more healthy than Aurangabad and it was he who ordered Kabil Khan in 1725 to build the fort together with citadel situated to the east of the town and which is today known as Mastgad. The citadel is being used to accommodate the muncipal offices. The fort is quadrangular in shape,with semi circular bastions at the corners.

It is reported that the inner and the outer gates were constructed by Asaf Jah himself in 1711and 1723, respectively. The citadel bears of Persian inscription recording the date when it was constructed. Within the citadel is a large well containing a series of galleries and chambers which are now filled up with rubbish. At the entrance to the well is a defaced inscription in Balbodh. Subsequently a part of Land revenue of Jalna was collected by the Marathas. The place has had frequent changes of masters. For a long time, it was held by one of the Shinde’s dependents, but shortly after the battle of Udgir in 1760, a rival claimant from Pune endeavoured to seize it. A sanguinary conflict took place which resulted into the discomfiture of the Pune sardar. It was taken possession of by Colonel Stevenson’s Troops in 1803 in the famouse battle of Assaye, a village in Jafrabad tahsil on the river of Juah located around 10 K.M east of Bhokardan . After the extinction of the Maratha power, it finally reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. In 1855 it was the scene of a conflict between the Rohilas and the Company’s troops. After a stubborn conflict in which about 100 were killed or wounded on both sides, the Rohilas surrendered.

Jafrabad :

Jafferabad is situated at the confluence of the Khelna and the Purna rivers. It is surrounded by a fortified stone wall, now in a very dilapidated state; but a small stone gadhi inside is in fair order. The place derived its name from its founder Jafar Khan, who held it along with 115 other

31 villages in jagir from Aurangzeb, the Moghal Empeor. There are in all seven mosques and temples in Jafferabad. The principal mosque has a Persian inscription recording its construction under the orders of Aurangzeb by Rizazath Khan in 1076 Hijri (A.D.1664). Within the fortifications there is a large handsome watercistern with an inscription stating that it was built at the command of Shah Jahan by Mustafa Khan, the Turkoman in Hijri 1040 (A.D.1630).

Ghansavangi :

From the broken tanks and numerous dislapidated tombs which surround it, Ghansavangi appears to have been a place of much importance in the olden days. In the north-west is a large open plain where at one time it was contemplated to station the Hyderabad Subsidiary Force. An annual fair is held in honour of Narsimha.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 1015]

Ambad :

Ambad situated between a ridge of hills is the headquarters of the tahsil of the same name. It lies along Jalna-Gevrai road the former place being the principal commercial centre in the Marathvada region.

Matsyodari Temple-

It appears that once Ambad enjoyed great prosperity, the marks of which are still seen in the decayed stonebuildings and ruined walls and gateways. A local tradition ascribes the foundation of the town to a Hindu Raja by name Amba Rishi who being weary of the cares of running the Government went and settled in a cave in a hill to the east of the town. This site is now occupied by a shrine dedicated to goddess Matsyodari, so called because the hill resembles the shape of a fish (matsya). It is believed to be one of the oldest temples in the region. A largely attended annual fair is held at the temple in October.

Khandoba Temple-

The town also contains a temple of Khandoba and a masonry Kund (tank), both of which were constructed by that pious and philanthropic queen, Ahilyabai Holkar, about the end of the eighteenth century. The structure to Khandoba has three temples joined together an arrangement often found in the south, but rarely in the north, and capable of giving a greater variety of effect of light and shade than is observed, in plainer forms. The shrine is surrounded by a stone-wal and has a gallery all round. The entrance is surmounted by a nagarkhana or chamber for temple-musicians. The courtyard has an iron-pillar on either side, besides a figure

32 of a lion standing on four small elephants, with a fifth elephant in its mouth. Some finely sculptured images are seen scattered about inside. The shrine is crowned by three large shikhars in a line, with a small one at either end. They are built of bricks and are variously ornamented. None of these shikhars are alike. The village has also a masonry kund believed to have been built by Ahilyabai Holkar. It has fallen into ruins.

Among the cults prevailing in the region the one espoused by Svami Ramanand, a devotee of Rama, claims a considerable following Svami Ramanand, originally from Gondi village near Ambad, made Ambad his abode and preached his doctrines. Achhutashram Svami was his chief disciple. The memory of Ramanand Swami is highly revered in and around Ambad.

Badnapur :

Badnapur is situated on the right bank of the Dudhna about ten miles west of Jalna. It is here that a meeting took place between General Wellesley and Colonel Stevenson at which the plan of operations for attacking the Marathas, two days before the battle of Assaye, was drawn up. Amidst a grove of trees, a short distance to the north-east of the village, stands a dargah to Mir Gulam Shah.

Bhokardan :

Bhokardan is settled along the right bank of the Khelna river, a tributary of the Purna.

In 1852 the Patel of a village named Javla enraged at the deprivation of his appointment collected a force of 300 Arabs and Rohilas and attacked Bhokardan, but was bought off. About seven years later he again attacked the town which was defended by the naib and was bought off a second time. The Rohilas were occasionally troublesome after this. They were finally subdued by a contingent force of 500 men and 2 guns sent from Aurangabad.

Bhokardan is surrounded by a ruined wall. There is an inner citadel which served to house the offices of the tahsildar and other minor officials. The marks of its former prosperity are discernible in the solid masonry walls which have collapsed for the most part, while the bands of earth scattered round the town mark the sites of once beautiful fruit and vegetable gardens.

Physiography is one of the parameter of physical environment and its impact on patterns and density of agriculture is immense. The study of the influence of environment upon the nature and distribution of crops and livestock is of prime importance in agricultural geography nature with its physical characteristics provides a host of possibilities for agriculture and agro- based industries of different areas. The district may be broadly divided into the following physiographic regions , 1) River Basin 2)The northern piedmont slopes 3) The Ajanta plateau

Jalna district has moderately to gently sloping undulated topography. The Northern part of the district is occupied by Ajanta and satmala hill ranges.

The 95 % area of the district falls in the Godavari basin. The river Godavari flows along the Southern boundary from West to East direction. The rivers Dudhana, Gulati, Purna are the principal tributaries of river Godavari, which flow through the district.

The major part of the district falls in the Purna sub basin. The river Purna flows from the central part of the district and meets river Godavari in the neighboring district. The river Khelna, and Girja are other important tributaries of river Purna which flow through the district.

The southern part of the district falls in Godavari sub basin A very small part of the district located North East of the district falls in the Tapi basinThe general slope of the area is towards Southeast.

The average altitude above mean sea level is 534 Mtrs. (A.M.S.L.).

River Basin Godavari river is main river in Jalna District. Godavari river is flowing in the southern part of district. This river comprises the relatively low-lying area to the west and south of the Ajantha plateau. The river Godavari and its tributaries have formed this basin.Thus river basin is found in southern part of Ambad and Parturtahsil. River Dudhna and its tributaries have formed river basin in Jalna and Partu tahsils while river Purna and its tributaries have formed river basin in Bhokardan, Mantha and Jafrabad tahsil. There are about nineteen rivers flowing through the district. There are three major rivers flowing across the diastrict. River Purna is flowing across the northern part of the district covering Bhokardan and Jafrabad district. It has seven major tributaries like Jui, Yamini,Dhamana,Khelana flowing as left bank tributaries and Banganga,Girja & Jivrekha as right bank tributaries. It covers a length of 88 Km across the district. River Dudhna flows across middle of the district covering Badnapur, Jalna,Partur and Mantha tahsils. This river has four triburaties like Kundalika,Lahuki,Sukhna & Kalyan rivers. It flows about 119 Km across the Jalna district. Dudhna has two irrigation projects constructed over namely Urdhva Dudhna & Nimna Dudhna Project.

Jalna district in located in the central part of Maharashtra between latitude 19⁰15 and 20⁰45’N and longitude 20⁰45 and 75⁰35’E. It extends over an area of 7718 sq.km. in parts of Survey of India Toposheet Nos. 46P, 47M, 55D and 46A. It is bordered by Buldana in the north, Aurangabad in the west, Beed in the south and Parbhani in the east. Jalna is connected by rail to Manmad Junction and Hyderabad. A major state highway joining Aurangabad and passes through the central part of the district and a network of fair weather roads connect the major towns. The important towns in the district are Bhokardan, Jaffarabad, Badnapur, Partur, Ambad Ghansvangi and Mantha. Physiographically the area forms part of upper Godavari valley. Major part of the district is an easterly sloping table land abruptly rising from the plains to the north western part of the area along the Ajanta range. The highest elevation is 695 meters above MSL seen in the northern part and the lowest elevation is around 400 meters above MSL seen along Godavari river in the south-eastern part of the district. The Godavari river flowing west to south-east along the southern border, with its tributaries-the Purna and the Dudhane constitute the main drainage. The district is almost wholly occupied by the basaltic lava flows of the Deccan Trap of Cretaccous in Palaeogene age (68 to 62 million years in age). The basaltic flows are ‘aa’ and Pahoehoe type. A typical pahoehoe flow carries several flow units and each unit comprises a basal vesicular part with pipe amygdules middle massive part and a top vesicular part with spherical vesicles. Ropy structures in crack fillings and toe structures are also common. The “aa” flow are massive with fairly persistent fragmentary top and imperisistent clinkary base. The Deccan basaltic flows in the district are classified in to four formations namely Upper Ratangarh Ajanta Chikhli and Buldana.

57

Upper Ratangarh Formation occupies fairly large areas of the district. It comprises a single compound pahoehoe flow exposed along Godavari river. The flow is in general medium grained sparsely porphydritic and includes three units with the pipe vesicles at the base. The top of this formation is marked giant megaphenocryst basalt flow (M3). Ajanta Formation comprises 7 to 16 basaltic flows of alternating “aa” and compound pahoehoe nature. The flows are nonporphyritic to sparsely porphyritic. The compound pahoehoe flow comprises few to several units and exhibits and typical characters like pipe amygdules, ropy structures squeeze-ups etc. The Chikhli Formation comprises 5 “aa” and one compound pahoehoe flow. The flows form the top parts of the isolated hills. The flows are dark grey, massive and sparsely to non porphyritic. The Buldana Formation includes 3 each of “aa” and pahoehoe flows. The massive parts of the flows are dense, dark grey and moderately porphyritic. A few dykes intrude the flow. The length of these dykes varies form a few hundred meters to tens of kilometers. The dykes are seen between Jalna and Bhokardun trending ENE-WSW and vary in thickness from a few centimeters to 40 meters. The dyke rock is massive fine grained aphyric to sparsely porphyritic. It is of basalt or doleritic composition. The basalt flows in general depict a general gradient of 1 in 130 to 1 in 650 due east and southeast. Vertical to sub- vertical joins having N-S, NE-SW and NW-SE trends are common. Columnar joints are also seen in the massive part of the flow. Minor faults are seen trending ENE-WSW south of Kalna town. Many linements present in the southeastern part of the district trend in NW-SE direction. Massive Deccan Trap basalt forms source for building material and is quarried at various places throughout the district. Apart from this, there are no mineral occurrences in the district.

The entire district is occupied by basaltic lava flows of the Deccan traps of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. The Deccan trap is overlain by alluvial deposits along the major river. The alluvium formation is very fertile land.  The geological sequence of the area is given below. Lithology Stratigraphic Status Age Nature and Characteristics

Doleritic/Basaltic Massive, fine to medium Dykes grained,aphyritic to sparsely prophyritic 3 “aa” flows and Buldhana Dark Grey,Massive, fine pahoehoe flow Formation to medium grained,aphyritic to moderately prophyritic 5 “aa” flows and Chikhli Upper Dark Grey,Massive, fine Compound pahoehoe Formation Cretaceous to medium type Sahyadri to grained,aphyritic to Group Palaeogene sparsely prophyritic 7 to 16 “aa” flows Ajanta Dark Grey,Massive, fine

Alluvium  The alluvial deposits in the district are overlying on the Deccan traps and occur along the major river flowing through the district viz. Godavari and Purna. The alluvium consists of clay, silt and sand. The thickness of alluvium ranges between 15 and 20 Mts. The extent of alluvium across the river is very limited and ranges between 0.25 to 0.5 Kms. Deccan Traps . The major part of the district is covered by the Deccan Trap lava flows. There are a number of flows in the district; The individual flow generally consists of two units. The upper unit of vesicular and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt and the lower unit, consisting of massive basalt with joints and fractures. The two flows are often separated by thick clay deposit called as red bole. The thickness of individual flow ranges between 15-20 Lineaments and Fractures. With the use of satellite imagery number of lineaments have been identified. In this district lineaments are oriented in NW-SE, NE-SE direction. In this district lineaments being the weaker zone can act as potential zone for groundwater developments.

Jalna district is rich in minor minerals such as building stone and sand. Mining activity is one of the main revenue source for the district.

District has 22 stone quarry leases (22with valid lease,42 with temporarily suspended,14 with valid letter of intent)till March 2021 covering area 95.09ha. There are no nonworking stone quarries within the district as per information recorded in the district mining office in the month of March 2021. (Source info. District Mining Office Jalna)

There are 68 locations of sand ghats over Purna, Godavari, Dhamna, Dudhna rivers where sand deposition are allowed from replenishment and other safety point of view in the district. (Source info. District Mining Office, Jalna).

District wise details of river or stream and other sand sources:

District is merged between Godavari-Dudhna-Purna river sub basins. Both of the basins are part of Godavari Basin. Northern part of district is a part of Purna river watershed whereas Southern part of district forms a part of Godavari-Dudhna river watershed and Dudhna sub basin. District river inventory is sketched below :

There are eighteen major rivers draining across the district viz. Purna,Dudhna,Godavari, Girja,Dhamana,Bhadra etc rivers. Godavari river has tributaries like Galhati,Anandi & Bhadra rivers.

Dudhna River : Dudhna is the largest river of this region. It flows across the centre of the district. It has tributaries like Kindalika,Lahuki,Sukhana, Kalyan rivers.

Purna River : It is the major river flowing along northern part of the district. It has left bank tributaries like Jui, Yamini,Dhamana & Khelana rivers whereas Banganga, Goraja & Jivrekha as right bank tributaries.

Kasturi is a stand alone river flowing across the district

61

District has few leases of stone producing mechanical sand by crushing and meeting as per IS standards for building grade sand. But demand is for river bed sand and hence scooping of sand is a major activity to cater sand requirement to infrastructural development. However district authority is promoting to use mechanical sand to balance between river bed sand scooping. District wise availability of sand and gravel or aggregate resources:

District has 68 Sand scooping sand ghats catering 288572 brass of sand. District has 42 stone quarries catering 128150 brass stone aggregates of different sizes like 6mm,20mm,40mm, 60mm and mechanical sand.

District wise details of existing mining leases of sand and aggregates : District administration every year survey the sand deposits as per rules framed by Govt. of Maharashtra policy dated 03.09.2019 and after all legal clearances auction for period of maximum one year excluding monsoon period of 10 June till 30 September. There are 68 about sand ghats identified by administration for scooping of sand.

Brief Introduction of Jalna district :

The town Jalna, the headquarters of this district traceable as far back as the time of Lord Rama, the hero of Ramayana, whose consort Sita is supposed to have resided here. The local people still point out the place where Rama’s palace stood. It was then known as Janakpur. Subsequently at the desire of a wealthy Mohammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna from his occupation of Jalaha or weaver. Archaeological excavations made in the neighbouring district suggest that this region was occupied in the early stone age. The earliest period known from excavations is the Chalcolithic or early bronze age. According to the literary tradition when the Aryans penetrated to the

76

Deccan, the whole region was covered by thick jungle. Agastya was the first Aryan who crossed the Vindhyas and fixed his residence on the bank of the Godavari. From the Ramayana, we learn that Lord Rama accompanied by his brother Lakshman and wife Sita met Agastya near the Godavari. It is said that Buddhism was first introduced in Maharashtra in the reign of Ashoka. This led to the excavation of caves in the different parts of Maharashtra. After the death of Ashoka, the Satavahanas rose to power in the Deccan and they made Prastishthana (Modern Paithan) as their capital. They received support from local rulers called Maharathis. Their Kingdom extended up to Pune, Nashik, Ahmadnagar, Aurangabad and Jalna districts. During the period of Satavahanas, the Jalna district must have attained a high level of prosperity. In the sixth century, the Chalukyas took over this region. Badami (Bijapur district) was their capital. Their kingdom extended up to the Narmada in the north. The Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang calls about King Pulakeshi from Chalukya dynasty as the Lord of Maharashtra. From the early thirteenth century onwards, Muslim rulers started invading this region. They conquered many small forts. The prominent being the Devgiri fort. Jalna was held in ‘Jagir’ by one of the generals of Akbar, Abul Fazl who had made it his residence for a short period. It was under Marathas after 1728, till extinction of the Maratha power and subsequently reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. The Nizams ruled this region till 1948. After Independence, the Hyderabad state acceded to the Indian union after a brief but brilliant police action that put an end to the Nizams rule consequent upon the integration of Jagirs and Sarf-e-Khas, all the taluka boundaries were reconstituted in April 1950 and a new mahal (Tahsil) with headquarters at Jafferabad was created. In 1956, following the reorganization of States, the Marathwada region was transferred to Bombay State. Since 1st May 1960, it forms a part of Maharashtra. For administrative purpose, the Aurangabad district was divided in 1981 and anew district Jalna was created.

Jalna district is approximately situated at the center part of Maharashtra state of Republic of India and in northern direction of Marathwada region. Specifically district lies between 19o1’ north to 21o3 North Latitudes and 75o4’ East to 76o4’ East Longitude. It falls in Survey of India toposheet no 46P, 47 N, 55 D and 56 A.

Jalna was formerly a part of Nizam State and after the Marathwada Mukti Sangram, became part of India, as a tahsil of Aurangabad district.

Jalna district erstwhile a part of Aurangabad district was formed on 1st May 1981 by carving out Jalna, Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Ambad tahsils of Aurangabad district and Partur tahsil of Parbhani district.The boundaries of Jalna district are adjacent to Parbhani & Buldhana on east, Aurangabad on west, Jalgaon on north and Beed on south.Jalna district covers an area of 7,612 Sq.Kms, which is 2.47% of the total state area.

The district head quarter is at Jalna & well connected to state capital and national capital by broad gauge railway line. Major towns of the state are also connected by state highways. Jalna district is well known for it’s hybrid seed industries, steel re-rolling mills, bidi industry & agro

77 based industries like dal mill. The district is also known for the highest production of Sweet Lemon(Mosambi) in the state.

The peoples of Jalna district played a important role in the Marathwada MuktiSangram, in which Shri. Janardan Mama Nagapurkar of Jalna laid down his life for motherland.

Jalna district is situated at the center of the state, therefore the Union Ministry of Communication has established satellite monitoring station at Indewadi near Jalna city. This makes it convenient to communicates with the other satellites in space.

According to 2011 census, the total area of the district is 7718 sq. Km., it is 2.51% as compared to area of Maharashtra state. About 1.32% of the total area i.e. 102.0 sq.km is urban area and 98.68% i.e 7616 sq. Km is rural area. For administrative convenience, there are eight talukas Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Jalna, Badnapur, Ambad, Ghansawangi, Partur, Mantha and four subdivisions for eight Tehsil. For each sub-division there is a separate sub-divisional office, Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan and Partur. There is Zill-Parishad at district level and under its control (8) Panchayat committees are functioning.

As per Census 2011, there are 971 villages in the district, out of which 963 villages and 8 desert villages are located. There are 806 separate Gram Panchayats and 157 Gram Panchayats in the district. The district headquarter is located at Jalna and there are district collector office and district level offices of various departments located at Jalna. In the district Jalna, Ambad Partur and Bhokardan are Municipal Councils. The nagar panchayats Jafrabad, Badnapur, Muntha and Ghansawangi. Jalna Nagarparishad is a ‘A’ category, Ambad, Partur, Bhokardan, these three municipal councils are ‘C’ category. Agricultural Produce Market Committee are functional at Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan Partur and Mantha.

Citywise historical importance of Jalna district is acknowleged from various references as below

Jalna :

The Jalna city is situated on the banks of Kundalika river,is the premier commercial centre of the Marathvada region. Subsequently, as the desire of a wealthy Muhammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna, from his occupation of Julaha or weaver.

Jalna is a muncipal town and continues to be an impotant handloom and powerloom weaving centre. Among the handloom societies working on co-operative basis, the foremost is the Markandeya Handloom weaving society having nearly 87 looms. Like Aurangabad and Paithan, the town was once known for the manufacture of fine gold and silver thread and silk textiles. There are also cotton ginning and pressing factories.

Jalna was surrounded by a mud and brick wall but it is all in ruins except two gates, knwon as the Murti Darwaza and the Hyderabad gate. Jamshed Khan, the governor during Malik Akbar’s

78 time constructed a fine Masjid and a sarai, also the Moti Talav, a large tank to the west of the town. A system of underground pipes conveyed water to reserviors, in the town. the largest of which is in quadraangle of the sarai. The system is no longer in working order. When the city was at the height of its prosperity it had five tanks. Jalna now derives its water supply mainly from the Jaikwadi Dam and also Ghanevadi tank.

During Akbars time Jalna was held in as jagir by one of his generals, and Abul Fazl has made it his residence for a short period. Nizam -ul- Mulk Asaf Jah also favoured the town as being more healthy than Aurangabad and it was he who ordered Kabil Khan in 1725 to build the fort together with citadel situated to the east of the town and which is today known as Mastgad. The citadel is being used to accommodate the muncipal offices. The fort is quadrangular in shape,with semi circular bastions at the corners.

It is reported that the inner and the outer gates were constructed by Asaf Jah himself in 1711and 1723, respectively. The citadel bears of Persian inscription recording the date when it was constructed. Within the citadel is a large well containing a series of galleries and chambers which are now filled up with rubbish. At the entrance to the well is a defaced inscription in Balbodh. Subsequently a part of Land revenue of Jalna was collected by the Marathas. The place has had frequent changes of masters. For a long time, it was held by one of the Shinde’s dependents, but shortly after the battle of Udgir in 1760, a rival claimant from Pune endeavoured to seize it. A sanguinary conflict took place which resulted into the discomfiture of the Pune sardar. It was taken possession of by Colonel Stevenson’s Troops in 1803 in the famouse battle of Assaye, a village in Jafrabad tahsil on the river of Juah located around 10 K.M east of Bhokardan . After the extinction of the Maratha power, it finally reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. In 1855 it was the scene of a conflict between the Rohilas and the Company’s troops. After a stubborn conflict in which about 100 were killed or wounded on both sides, the Rohilas surrendered.

Jafrabad :

Jafferabad is situated at the confluence of the Khelna and the Purna rivers. It is surrounded by a fortified stone wall, now in a very dilapidated state; but a small stone gadhi inside is in fair order. The place derived its name from its founder Jafar Khan, who held it along with 115 other villages in jagir from Aurangzeb, the Moghal Empeor. There are in all seven mosques and temples in Jafferabad. The principal mosque has a Persian inscription recording its construction under the orders of Aurangzeb by Rizazath Khan in 1076 Hijri (A.D.1664). Within the fortifications there is a large handsome watercistern with an inscription stating that it was built at the command of Shah Jahan by Mustafa Khan, the Turkoman in Hijri 1040 (A.D.1630).

Ghansavangi :

From the broken tanks and numerous dislapidated tombs which surround it, Ghansavangi appears to have been a place of much importance in the olden days. In the north-west is a large open plain where at one time it was contemplated to station the Hyderabad Subsidiary Force. An annual fair is held in honour of Narsimha.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 1015]

Ambad :

Ambad situated between a ridge of hills is the headquarters of the tahsil of the same name. It lies along Jalna-Gevrai road the former place being the principal commercial centre in the Marathvada region.

Matsyodari Temple-

It appears that once Ambad enjoyed great prosperity, the marks of which are still seen in the decayed stonebuildings and ruined walls and gateways. A local tradition ascribes the foundation of the town to a Hindu Raja by name Amba Rishi who being weary of the cares of running the Government went and settled in a cave in a hill to the east of the town. This site is now occupied by a shrine dedicated to goddess Matsyodari, so called because the hill resembles the shape of a fish (matsya). It is believed to be one of the oldest temples in the region. A largely attended annual fair is held at the temple in October.

Khandoba Temple-

The town also contains a temple of Khandoba and a masonry Kund (tank), both of which were constructed by that pious and philanthropic queen, Ahilyabai Holkar, about the end of the eighteenth century. The structure to Khandoba has three temples joined together an arrangement often found in the south, but rarely in the north, and capable of giving a greater variety of effect of light and shade than is observed, in plainer forms. The shrine is surrounded by a stone-wal and has a gallery all round. The entrance is surmounted by a nagarkhana or chamber for temple-musicians. The courtyard has an iron-pillar on either side, besides a figure of a lion standing on four small elephants, with a fifth elephant in its mouth. Some finely sculptured images are seen scattered about inside. The shrine is crowned by three large shikhars in a line, with a small one at either end. They are built of bricks and are variously ornamented. None of these shikhars are alike. The village has also a masonry kund believed to have been built by Ahilyabai Holkar. It has fallen into ruins.

Among the cults prevailing in the region the one espoused by Svami Ramanand, a devotee of Rama, claims a considerable following Svami Ramanand, originally from Gondi village near

80

Ambad, made Ambad his abode and preached his doctrines. Achhutashram Svami was his chief disciple. The memory of Ramanand Swami is highly revered in and around Ambad.

Badnapur :

Badnapur is situated on the right bank of the Dudhna about ten miles west of Jalna. It is here that a meeting took place between General Wellesley and Colonel Stevenson at which the plan of operations for attacking the Marathas, two days before the battle of Assaye, was drawn up. Amidst a grove of trees, a short distance to the north-east of the village, stands a dargah to Mir Gulam Shah.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 961]

Bhokardan :

Bhokardan is settled along the right bank of the Khelna river, a tributary of the Purna.

In 1852 the Patel of a village named Javla enraged at the deprivation of his appointment collected a force of 300 Arabs and Rohilas and attacked Bhokardan, but was bought off. About seven years later he again attacked the town which was defended by the naib and was bought off a second time. The Rohilas were occasionally troublesome after this. They were finally subdued by a contingent force of 500 men and 2 guns sent from Aurangabad.

Bhokardan is surrounded by a ruined wall. There is an inner citadel which served to house the offices of the tahsildar and other minor officials. The marks of its former prosperity are discernible in the solid masonry walls which have collapsed for the most part, while the bands of earth scattered round the town mark the sites of once beautiful fruit and vegetable gardens.

The summer months are the driest when the relative humidity is generally between 20 and 25 percent in the afternoon

Winds are generally light to moderate with increase in speed during the later half of the hot season and in monsoon season. The winds blow predominantly from directions between west and north during the hot season. They are mostly from directions between southwest and northwest during the southwest monsoon season.

Natural Economic Resources

Deccan Traps cover a major part of the District. Trap rocks are very hard and compact and are ark grey in colour. Trap rocks being dense, hard and compact are extensively used as building stones, road metal, railway ballast and as an aggregate in cement concrete. Erosive agents and weathering together have formed good fertile soils near the river beds. Jalna district has some gem stone quarries.

Jalna district is having good Industrial background, specially famous for the Seed and Steel industries. The industrial development at Jalna is widely based on Engineering, Plastic and Agriculture.

82

Pulses mills, oil mills, refineries, steel re-rolling, plastic, tiles & cement pipe, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides and the co-operative sugar factories are also playing important part in the industrial development of jalna.

There are also cotton ginning and pressing factories and an agricultural market produce committee handling large quantities of all kinds of agricultural produce, including cotton. In view of the overall industrial backwardness of the region, the state government has initiated a master plan to encourage the establishment of of small and large- scale industrial units. Under this plan Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has set up an industrial area in Jalna consisting of …large-scale, …medium scale and ..small scale industries. Jalna industrial area has a large number of steel rolling mills, a unit manufacturing ball bearings, agro based units like dal mills and most significant being large number of seed manufacturing units; Mahyco, Mahindra, Bejo-Shital are some of them. The MIDC has recently announced to setup bio technology park (BT Park) at Jalna with the help of private sector units. This park will give a tremendous boost to the BT sector in the backward area of Marathvada.

The Mahyco, Mahindra, Bejo-Shital are some of the leading well known hybrid seed industries.

NRB bearing Ltd is the leading manufacturer of ball bearings used in automobiles and other heavy industrial purposes.

The Sugar factories in the Jalna district :

7. Jalna Sahkari Sugar Factory, Ramnagar, Jalna. 8. Samarth Sahkari Sugar Factory, Samarthnagar, Ambad. 9. Bageshwari Sahkari Sugar Factory, Partur. 10. Rameshwari Sahkari Sugar Factory, Bhokardan. 11. Sagar Sugar Factory. 12. Samruddhi Sugar Factory, Devi Dahegaon, Tq. Ghansavangi.

Forestry

The total area under the forest is 6800 hectares which is only 0.89% of the total geographical area of the district. The total forest area of Maharashtra State is about 5366 Thousand hectares which is 17.42% of its total geographical area. Jalna district accounts for only 0.12% of the total State forest area which is very negligible. Hence efforts should be made to bring more land under forest area. The forest produce includes timber and fuel wood, grass, gum and tendu leaves. During the year 1998-99 the total revenue earned form forest produce was Rs. 3.34 Lac out of which Rs. 2.73 Lac was from sale of tendu leaves.

Minerals and mining

83

Minerals of great economic importance are not found in Jalna district. The geology of the region consists of dark coloured colcanic lava flows. It is spread in the form of horizontal sheets or beds. Because of their dominantly basaltic composition and the tendancy to form flat – topped plateau, the lavas are termed plateau basalt. Trap rocks are hard , dense and durable and are suitable for building /construction purposes. Economically important mneral required for ndustrialization not found in the district. Hence district has basalt mining for infrastructural requirements with natural river sand up to some extend. At some places some patches of agate are found but with inferior quality. Jalna district has some gem stone quarries.

Soil and Cropping pattern The Soils of the district are derived from the basaltic lava flows. Thickness of the soil cover is less in northern and western region where ground elevations are higher and consequently soil regur, gravels, murum are transported down to lower regions through gravity, water or winds. Soils in central, southern and eastern regions of the district near the banks of Godavari and Dudhna rivers are thicker. Here soils ranging in depth from 1 to 2 m are black and rich in plant nutrients.

Profile description and analytical data of some typical soils are as follows: a) Light soils occur along hills, rugged regions, plateaux and elevate plains. These soils are brown to grey in colour, less fertile as plant nutrients are less and range in depth from 0-15 cm. They comprise grains of basalt, quartz and clays with calcareous nodules and gravels. b) Medium soils occur along undulating plains, depressions in hilly regions etc. These are dark brown in colour and contain more plant nutrients. The soil ranges in thickness from 15 to 40 cms and comprises clays with some silica and lie over murum at 40 to 100 cm depth. c) Deep soils occur along plains of lower elevation, depressions and along river banks. These are dark black cotton soils, plastic, sticky, rich in plant nutrients and are very fertile. These soils range in thickness from 50 to 200 cm and lie over murum at 2 to 4 meters depth comprising clays, loam, lime etc.

Agriculture

Most of the people of this District are engaged in agricultural activities. According to Census 2011, percentage of the total workers engaged as cultivators is 45.01% and as agricultural labourers is 32.33% (percent) in the District. Together they constitute 71.33 %(percent) of the total workers of the District. District is producing Jowar, Soyabean,Cotton, Pearlmillete,maiz,green gram, peas as most common agricultural crops. The District is divided in four subdivisions and eight tahsils.

There are four Subdivisions and eight talukas listed as

3. General Profile of the district :

The town Jalna, the headquarters of this district traceable as far back as the time of Lord Rama, the hero of Ramayana, whose consort Sita is supposed to have resided here. The local people still point out the place where Rama’s palace stood. It was then known as Janakpur. Subsequently at the desire of a wealthy Mohammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna from his occupation of Jalaha or weaver. Archaeological excavations made in the neighbouring district suggest that this region was occupied in the early stone age. The earliest period known from excavations is the Chalcolithic or early bronze age. According to the literary tradition when the Aryans penetrated to the Deccan, the whole region was covered by thick jungle. Agastya was the first Aryan who crossed the Vindhyas and fixed his residence on the bank of the Godavari. From the Ramayana, we learn that Lord Rama accompanied by his brother Lakshman and wife Sita met Agastya near the Godavari. It is said that Buddhism was first introduced in Maharashtra in the reign of Ashoka. This led to the excavation of caves in the different parts of Maharashtra. After the death of Ashoka, the Satavahanas rose to power in the Deccan and they made Prastishthana (Modern Paithan) as their capital. They received support from local rulers called Maharathis. Their Kingdom extended up to Pune, Nashik, Ahmadnagar, Aurangabad and Jalna districts. During the period of Satavahanas, the Jalna district must have attained a high level of prosperity. In the sixth century, the Chalukyas took over this region. Badami (Bijapur district) was their capital. Their kingdom extended up to the Narmada in the north. The Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang calls about King Pulakeshi from Chalukya dynasty as the Lord of Maharashtra. From the early thirteenth century onwards, Muslim rulers started invading this region. They conquered many small forts. The prominent being the Devgiri fort. Jalna was held in ‘Jagir’ by one of the generals of Akbar, Abul Fazl who had made it his residence for a short period. It was under Marathas after 1728, till extinction of the Maratha power and subsequently reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. The Nizams ruled this region till 1948. After Independence, the Hyderabad state acceded to the Indian union after a brief but brilliant police action that put an end to the Nizams rule consequent upon the integration of Jagirs and Sarf-e-Khas, all the taluka boundaries were reconstituted in April 1950 and a new mahal (Tahsil) with headquarters at Jafferabad was created. In 1956, following the reorganization of States, the Marathwada region was transferred to Bombay State. Since 1st May 1960, it forms a part of Maharashtra. For administrative purpose, the Aurangabad district was divided in 1981 and anew district Jalna was created.

Jalna district is approximately situated at the center part of Maharashtra state of Republic of India and in northern direction of Marathwada region. Specifically district lies between 19o1’ north to 21o3 North Latitudes and 75o4’ East to 76o4’ East Longitude. It falls in Survey of India toposheet no 46P, 47 N, 55 D and 56 A.

Jalna was formerly a part of Nizam State and after the Marathwada Mukti Sangram, became part of India, as a tahsil of Aurangabad district.

88

Jalna district erstwhile a part of Aurangabad district was formed on 1st May 1981 by carving out Jalna, Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Ambad tahsils of Aurangabad district and Partur tahsil of Parbhani district.The boundaries of Jalna district are adjacent to Parbhani & Buldhana on east, Aurangabad on west, Jalgaon on north and Beed on south.Jalna district covers an area of 7,612 Sq.Kms, which is 2.47% of the total state area.

The district head quarter is at Jalna & well connected to state capital and national capital by broad gauge railway line. Major towns of the state are also connected by state highways. Jalna district is well known for it’s hybrid seed industries, steel re-rolling mills, bidi industry & agro based industries like dal mill. The district is also known for the highest production of Sweet Lemon(Mosambi) in the state.

The peoples of Jalna district played a important role in the Marathwada MuktiSangram, in which Shri. Janardan Mama Nagapurkar of Jalna laid down his life for motherland.

Jalna district is situated at the center of the state, therefore the Union Ministry of Communication has established satellite monitoring station at Indewadi near Jalna city. This makes it convenient to communicates with the other satellites in space.

According to 2011 census, the total area of the district is 7718 sq. Km., it is 2.51% as compared to area of Maharashtra state. About 1.32% of the total area i.e. 102.0 sq.km is urban area and 98.68% i.e 7616 sq. Km is rural area. For administrative convenience, there are eight talukas Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Jalna, Badnapur, Ambad, Ghansawangi, Partur, Mantha and four subdivisions for eight Tehsil. For each sub-division there is a separate sub-divisional office, Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan and Partur. There is Zill-Parishad at district level and under its control (8) Panchayat committees are functioning.

As per Census 2011, there are 971 villages in the district, out of which 963 villages and 8 desert villages are located. There are 806 separate Gram Panchayats and 157 Gram Panchayats in the district. The district headquarter is located at Jalna and there are district collector office and district level offices of various departments located at Jalna. In the district Jalna, Ambad Partur and Bhokardan are Municipal Councils. The nagar panchayats Jafrabad, Badnapur, Muntha and Ghansawangi. Jalna Nagarparishad is a ‘A’ category, Ambad, Partur, Bhokardan, these three municipal councils are ‘C’ category. Agricultural Produce Market Committee are functional at Jalna, Ambad, Bhokardan Partur and Mantha.

Citywise historical importance of Jalna district is acknowleged from various references as below

Jalna :

The Jalna city is situated on the banks of Kundalika river,is the premier commercial centre of the Marathvada region. Subsequently, as the desire of a wealthy Muhammedan merchant, who is said to have been a great benefactor of the place, the name was changed to Jalna, from his occupation of Julaha or weaver.

89

Jalna is a muncipal town and continues to be an impotant handloom and powerloom weaving centre. Among the handloom societies working on co-operative basis, the foremost is the Markandeya Handloom weaving society having nearly 87 looms. Like Aurangabad and Paithan, the town was once known for the manufacture of fine gold and silver thread and silk textiles. There are also cotton ginning and pressing factories.

Jalna was surrounded by a mud and brick wall but it is all in ruins except two gates, knwon as the Murti Darwaza and the Hyderabad gate. Jamshed Khan, the governor during Malik Akbar’s time constructed a fine Masjid and a sarai, also the Moti Talav, a large tank to the west of the town. A system of underground pipes conveyed water to reserviors, in the town. the largest of which is in quadraangle of the sarai. The system is no longer in working order. When the city was at the height of its prosperity it had five tanks. Jalna now derives its water supply mainly from the Jaikwadi Dam and also Ghanevadi tank.

During Akbars time Jalna was held in as jagir by one of his generals, and Abul Fazl has made it his residence for a short period. Nizam -ul- Mulk Asaf Jah also favoured the town as being more healthy than Aurangabad and it was he who ordered Kabil Khan in 1725 to build the fort together with citadel situated to the east of the town and which is today known as Mastgad. The citadel is being used to accommodate the muncipal offices. The fort is quadrangular in shape,with semi circular bastions at the corners.

It is reported that the inner and the outer gates were constructed by Asaf Jah himself in 1711and 1723, respectively. The citadel bears of Persian inscription recording the date when it was constructed. Within the citadel is a large well containing a series of galleries and chambers which are now filled up with rubbish. At the entrance to the well is a defaced inscription in Balbodh. Subsequently a part of Land revenue of Jalna was collected by the Marathas. The place has had frequent changes of masters. For a long time, it was held by one of the Shinde’s dependents, but shortly after the battle of Udgir in 1760, a rival claimant from Pune endeavoured to seize it. A sanguinary conflict took place which resulted into the discomfiture of the Pune sardar. It was taken possession of by Colonel Stevenson’s Troops in 1803 in the famouse battle of Assaye, a village in Jafrabad tahsil on the river of Juah located around 10 K.M east of Bhokardan . After the extinction of the Maratha power, it finally reverted to the Nizams of Hyderabad. In 1855 it was the scene of a conflict between the Rohilas and the Company’s troops. After a stubborn conflict in which about 100 were killed or wounded on both sides, the Rohilas surrendered.

Jafrabad :

Jafferabad is situated at the confluence of the Khelna and the Purna rivers. It is surrounded by a fortified stone wall, now in a very dilapidated state; but a small stone gadhi inside is in fair order. The place derived its name from its founder Jafar Khan, who held it along with 115 other

90 villages in jagir from Aurangzeb, the Moghal Empeor. There are in all seven mosques and temples in Jafferabad. The principal mosque has a Persian inscription recording its construction under the orders of Aurangzeb by Rizazath Khan in 1076 Hijri (A.D.1664). Within the fortifications there is a large handsome watercistern with an inscription stating that it was built at the command of Shah Jahan by Mustafa Khan, the Turkoman in Hijri 1040 (A.D.1630).

Ghansavangi :

From the broken tanks and numerous dislapidated tombs which surround it, Ghansavangi appears to have been a place of much importance in the olden days. In the north-west is a large open plain where at one time it was contemplated to station the Hyderabad Subsidiary Force. An annual fair is held in honour of Narsimha.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 1015]

Ambad :

Ambad situated between a ridge of hills is the headquarters of the tahsil of the same name. It lies along Jalna-Gevrai road the former place being the principal commercial centre in the Marathvada region.

Matsyodari Temple-

It appears that once Ambad enjoyed great prosperity, the marks of which are still seen in the decayed stonebuildings and ruined walls and gateways. A local tradition ascribes the foundation of the town to a Hindu Raja by name Amba Rishi who being weary of the cares of running the Government went and settled in a cave in a hill to the east of the town. This site is now occupied by a shrine dedicated to goddess Matsyodari, so called because the hill resembles the shape of a fish (matsya). It is believed to be one of the oldest temples in the region. A largely attended annual fair is held at the temple in October.

Khandoba Temple-

The town also contains a temple of Khandoba and a masonry Kund (tank), both of which were constructed by that pious and philanthropic queen, Ahilyabai Holkar, about the end of the eighteenth century. The structure to Khandoba has three temples joined together an arrangement often found in the south, but rarely in the north, and capable of giving a greater variety of effect of light and shade than is observed, in plainer forms. The shrine is surrounded by a stone-wal and has a gallery all round. The entrance is surmounted by a nagarkhana or chamber for temple-musicians. The courtyard has an iron-pillar on either side, besides a figure

91 of a lion standing on four small elephants, with a fifth elephant in its mouth. Some finely sculptured images are seen scattered about inside. The shrine is crowned by three large shikhars in a line, with a small one at either end. They are built of bricks and are variously ornamented. None of these shikhars are alike. The village has also a masonry kund believed to have been built by Ahilyabai Holkar. It has fallen into ruins.

Among the cults prevailing in the region the one espoused by Svami Ramanand, a devotee of Rama, claims a considerable following Svami Ramanand, originally from Gondi village near Ambad, made Ambad his abode and preached his doctrines. Achhutashram Svami was his chief disciple. The memory of Ramanand Swami is highly revered in and around Ambad.

Badnapur :

Badnapur is situated on the right bank of the Dudhna about ten miles west of Jalna. It is here that a meeting took place between General Wellesley and Colonel Stevenson at which the plan of operations for attacking the Marathas, two days before the battle of Assaye, was drawn up. Amidst a grove of trees, a short distance to the north-east of the village, stands a dargah to Mir Gulam Shah.

[ The information is taken from the Gazetteer of India, Maharashtra State, Aurangabad District, Page No : 961]

Bhokardan :

Bhokardan is settled along the right bank of the Khelna river, a tributary of the Purna.

In 1852 the Patel of a village named Javla enraged at the deprivation of his appointment collected a force of 300 Arabs and Rohilas and attacked Bhokardan, but was bought off. About seven years later he again attacked the town which was defended by the naib and was bought off a second time. The Rohilas were occasionally troublesome after this. They were finally subdued by a contingent force of 500 men and 2 guns sent from Aurangabad.

Bhokardan is surrounded by a ruined wall. There is an inner citadel which served to house the offices of the tahsildar and other minor officials. The marks of its former prosperity are discernible in the solid masonry walls which have collapsed for the most part, while the bands of earth scattered round the town mark the sites of once beautiful fruit and vegetable gardens.

Physiography is one of the parameter of physical environment and its impact on patterns and density of agriculture is immense. The study of the influence of environment upon the nature and distribution of crops and livestock is of prime importance in agricultural geography nature with its physical characteristics provides a host of possibilities for agriculture and agro- based industries of different areas. The district may be broadly divided into the following physiographic regions , 1) River Basin 2)The northern piedmont slopes 3) The Ajanta plateau

Jalna district has moderately to gently sloping undulated topography. The Northern part of the district is occupied by Ajanta and satmala hill ranges.

The 95 % area of the district falls in the Godavari basin. The river Godavari flows along the Southern boundary from West to East direction. The rivers Dudhana, Gulati, Purna are the principal tributaries of river Godavari, which flow through the district.

The major part of the district falls in the Purna sub basin. The river Purna flows from the central part of the district and meets river Godavari in the neighboring district. The river Khelna, and Girja are other important tributaries of river Purna which flow through the district.

The southern part of the district falls in Godavari sub basin A very small part of the district located North East of the district falls in the Tapi basinThe general slope of the area is towards Southeast.

The average altitude above mean sea level is 534 Mtrs. (A.M.S.L.).

River Basin Godavari river is main river in Jalna District. Godavari river is flowing in the southern part of district. This river comprises the relatively low-lying area to the west and south of the Ajantha plateau. The river Godavari and its tributaries have formed this basin.Thus river basin is found in southern part of Ambad and Parturtahsil. River Dudhna and its tributaries have formed river basin in Jalna and Partu tahsils while river Purna and its tributaries have formed river basin in Bhokardan, Mantha and Jafrabad tahsil. There are about nineteen rivers flowing through the district. There are three major rivers flowing across the diastrict. River Purna is flowing across the northern part of the district covering Bhokardan and Jafrabad district. It has seven major tributaries like Jui, Yamini,Dhamana,Khelana flowing as left bank tributaries and Banganga,Girja & Jivrekha as right bank tributaries. It covers a length of 88 Km across the district. River Dudhna flows across middle of the district covering Badnapur, Jalna,Partur and Mantha tahsils. This river has four triburaties like Kundalika,Lahuki,Sukhna & Kalyan rivers. It flows about 119 Km across the Jalna district. Dudhna has two irrigation projects constructed over namely Urdhva Dudhna & Nimna Dudhna Project.

93

Third major river is Godavari itself flowing along southern boundary of Jalna district. It has Galhati,Anandi & Bhadra rivers confluencing as tributaries. It flows about 98 Km along southern boundary of the district.

There are four Subdivisions and eight talukas in Jalna District.

4.0 Geology of the District:

Jalna district in located in the central part of Maharashtra between latitude 19⁰15 and 20⁰45’N and longitude 20⁰45 and 75⁰35’E. It extends over an area of 7718 sq.km. in parts of Survey of India Toposheet Nos. 46P, 47M, 55D and 46A. It is bordered by Buldana in the north, Aurangabad in the west, Beed in the south and Parbhani in the east. Jalna is connected by rail to Manmad Junction and Hyderabad. A major state highway joining Aurangabad and Nanded passes through the central part of the district and a network of fair weather roads connect the major towns. The important towns in the district are Bhokardan, Jaffarabad, Badnapur, Partur, Ambad Ghansvangi and Mantha. Physiographically the area forms part of upper Godavari valley. Major part of the district is an easterly sloping table land abruptly rising from the plains to the north western part of the area along the Ajanta range. The highest elevation is 695 meters above MSL seen in the northern part and the lowest elevation is around 400 meters above MSL seen along Godavari river in the south-eastern part of the district. The Godavari river flowing west to south-east along the southern border, with its tributaries-the Purna and the Dudhane constitute the main drainage. The district is almost wholly occupied by the basaltic lava flows of the Deccan Trap of Cretaccous in Palaeogene age (68 to 62 million years in age). The basaltic flows are ‘aa’ and Pahoehoe type. A typical pahoehoe flow carries several flow units and each unit comprises a basal vesicular part with pipe amygdules middle massive part and a top vesicular part with spherical vesicles. Ropy structures in crack fillings and toe structures are also common. The “aa” flow are massive with fairly persistent fragmentary top and imperisistent clinkary base. The Deccan basaltic flows in the district are classified in to four formations namely Upper Ratangarh Ajanta Chikhli and Buldana. Upper Ratangarh Formation occupies fairly large areas of the district. It comprises a single compound pahoehoe flow exposed along Godavari river. The flow is in general medium grained sparsely porphydritic and includes three units with the pipe vesicles at the base. The top of this formation is marked giant megaphenocryst basalt flow (M3). Ajanta Formation comprises 7 to 16 basaltic flows of alternating “aa” and compound pahoehoe nature. The flows are nonporphyritic to sparsely porphyritic. The compound pahoehoe flow comprises few to several units and exhibits and typical characters like pipe amygdules, ropy structures squeeze-ups etc. The Chikhli Formation comprises 5 “aa” and one compound pahoehoe flow. The flows form the top parts of the isolated hills. The flows are dark grey, massive and sparsely to non porphyritic. The Buldana Formation includes 3 each of “aa” and pahoehoe flows. The massive parts of the flows are dense, dark grey and moderately porphyritic. A few dykes intrude the flow. The length of these dykes varies form a few hundred meters to tens of kilometers. The dykes are seen between Jalna and Bhokardun trending ENE-WSW and vary in thickness from a few centimeters to 40 meters. The dyke rock is massive fine grained aphyric to sparsely porphyritic. It is of basalt or doleritic composition. The basalt flows in general depict a general gradient of 1 in 130 to 1 in 650 due east and southeast. Vertical to sub- vertical joins having N-S, NE-SW and NW-SE trends are common. Columnar joints are also seen in the massive part of the flow.

97

Minor faults are seen trending ENE-WSW south of Kalna town. Many linements present in the southeastern part of the district trend in NW-SE direction. Massive Deccan Trap basalt forms source for building material and is quarried at various places throughout the district. Apart from this, there are no mineral occurrences in the district.

The entire district is occupied by basaltic lava flows of the Deccan traps of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. The Deccan trap is overlain by alluvial deposits along the major river. The alluvium formation is very fertile land.  The geological sequence of the area is given below. Lithology Stratigraphic Status Age Nature and Characteristics

Doleritic/Basaltic Massive, fine to medium Dykes grained,aphyritic to sparsely prophyritic 3 “aa” flows and Buldhana Dark Grey,Massive, fine pahoehoe flow Formation to medium grained,aphyritic to moderately prophyritic 5 “aa” flows and Chikhli Upper Dark Grey,Massive, fine Compound pahoehoe Formation Cretaceous to medium type Sahyadri to grained,aphyritic to Group Palaeogene sparsely prophyritic 7 to 16 “aa” flows Ajanta Dark Grey,Massive, fine and Compound Formation to medium pahoehoe type grained,aphyritic to moderately prophyritic Megacryst FLow Upper Highly porphyritic with Ratangarh large sized phenocryst of Formation plagioclase felspar Compound pahoehoe Dark Grey,Massive, fine fow to medium grained and pron to wheathering

Alluvium  The alluvial deposits in the district are overlying on the Deccan traps and occur along the major river flowing through the district viz. Godavari and Purna. The alluvium consists of clay, silt and sand. The thickness of alluvium ranges between 15 and 20 Mts. The extent of alluvium across the river is very limited and ranges between 0.25 to 0.5 Kms. Deccan Traps . The major part of the district is covered by the Deccan Trap lava flows. There are a number of flows in the district; The individual flow generally consists of two units. The upper unit of vesicular and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt and the lower unit, consisting of massive basalt with joints and fractures. The two flows are often separated by thick clay deposit called as red bole. The

98 thickness of individual flow ranges between 15-20 Lineaments and Fractures. With the use of satellite imagery number of lineaments have been identified. In this district lineaments are oriented in NW-SE, NE-SE direction. In this district lineaments being the weaker zone can act as potential zone for groundwater developments.

Jalna district is rich in minor minerals such as building stone and sand. Mining activity is one of the main revenue source for the district.

Drainage

Jalna district is situated in the upper Godavari Basin. The central hill range known as Jalna Hill is an upland, plateau and is drained by Purna river and its tributaries. Southern portion is comparatively low land, flat area terminating at Bank of Godavari River in the South. District slopes towards south and average elevation above sea level is 534 meters.

The district is well drained by river system, which are dendritic type and have matured valleys. There are two main drainage systems viz: (1) Godavari river and (2) the Purna and Dudhna rivers. The river Godavari forms the entire southern boundary of the district in Ambad and Partur talukas. It is one of the most important river of Deccan plateau and whole district of Jalna falls in its great basin. The direct tributaries of the river are Shivbhadra, Yellohadrs, Galhati and Musa riers. All these tributaries rise from the Ajanta and Ellora plateau and flow south and eastwards to join the Godavari river. While most of the smaller streams dry up in summer, the major rivers are perennial. The Purna river rises from near Mehun about 8 km NE of Satmala hills and at a height of about 725 m amsl. It is most major river after Godavari and drains entire area of Jafrabad, Bhokardan and Parts of Jalna district. Its tributaries are the Charna, the Khelna, the Jui, the Dhamna, the Anjan, the Girja, the Jivrakha and the Dudhna.

101

The Dudhna river is the largest tributary of the Purna river which is nearly as long as main river itself. It has the longest course in Jalna district and drains parts of Ambad, Jalna and Partur talukas with its tributaries such as the Baldi, the Kundilikha, the Kalyan, the Lahuki, the Sukna, etc.

7.2 Ground Water Scenario :

District is in “SAFE” Category from Ground Water Development point of view. Detailed Ground Water Scenario for the district is discussed below

Hydrogeology Deccan Trap Basalt is the predominant water bearing formation. Groundwater occurrence and movement in the area is influenced by its rock formations. Groundwater potentially depends upon porosity and permeability (both primary and secondary) of rock formations. Jalna district is underlain by basaltic lava flows and alluvium only. The regional Static water level in the area varies from 20 to 25 mbgl. Ground water extraction in the area is done mainly through dug wells and bore wells. The average depth range of dug wells in the area is from 15.00 to 30.00 m. The average depth range of bore wells in the area is from 60.00 to 80.00 m. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Traps occupy about 98% of the area of the district. The formation is very thick and comprises scores of lava flows of 5 to 25 meters individual thickness. Each flow comprises a lower zone of 40 to 70% hard, massive basalt which is devoid of primary porosity and permeability. The upper zone of 30 to 60% is vesicular basalt which has limited primary porosity. However, the formation generally has secondary porosity and permeability acquired due to weathering, jointing, shearing, fracturing etc. When the thickness of these zones are appreciable (30 to 60% of a flow), the flow forms an aquifer of moderate potential. The structural and composite characteristics described above are repeated in all the lava flows of an area

Hydrogeology of District Jalna

Depth to Water Level – Premonsoon

Groundwater occurrence and movement in the area is influenced by its rock formations. Groundwater potentially depends upon porosity and permeability (both primary and

110 secondary) of rock formations. Jalna district is underlain by basaltic lava flows and alluvium only. Water bearing properties of these rocks are described below. The regional Static water level in the area varies from 20 to 25 mbgl. Ground water extraction in the area is done mainly through dug wells and bore wells. The average depth range of dug wells in the area is from 15.00 to 30.00 m. The average depth range of bore wells in the area is from 60.00 to 80.00 m. .

Depth to Water Level – Postmonsoon

The depth to water levels during postmonsoon (Nov. 2011) ranges between 1.05 (Ambad) and 14.65 (Badnapur). The NHNS at Ambad, Talni and Chikhli is showing the shallowest depth to water level i.e. less than 2 mbgl. The shallow water levels within the range of 2-5 m bgl are observed at 10 NHNS i.e. at Partur, Samangaon, Tirthpuri, Raniuchegaon, Mantha, Sevli, Wadigodri and Tembhurni- 2. Water level within 5 to 10 m bgl are extended to the entire district. 13 NHNS located at Jafrabad, Lalegaon, Shahgad, Watur, Warud, Ghansawangi, Ranjni, Longaon, Dungaon, Silegaon are showing this particular range of water level.

The overall stage of ground water development for the district is 47.51 %, which is for “Safe” cate ory. All the talukas and watersheds have been categorised as “Safe” .

21. Impact on the Environment (Air, Water, Noise Soil, Flora & Fauna, Land Use, agriculture, forest etc.) due to mining activity :

Air Environment : Anticipated Impacts Stone/metal mining is carried out by opencast manual method. The air borne particulate matter generated by mining and handling operations, transportation and screening of stone chips at crusher is the main air pollutant. The emissions of Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of

Nitrogen (NOX) contributed by tractor trolley. As the number of trips of tractor trolley are less, the pollutant levels are well within prescribed limits . Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out taking into consideration proposed production and net increase in emissions. Air pollution sources in the operating mine are classified into three categories

a. Point sources b. Area sources c. Line sources  Drilling & Blasting and crusher operations of the mine are considered as point sources  As the cumulative impacts for cluster of stone quarries are to be considered, thus the cluster of stone mines is described as area sources  Transportation of stone chips from mining pit to crusher is considered as line sources The other source of air pollution is the dust generated during the movement of tractor trolley. Water tankers with spraying arrangement will be used for regular water sprinkling on the haul roads to ensure effective dust suppression. The tractor trolley are well maintained so that exhaust smoke does not contribute abnormal values of noxious gases and un-burnt hydrocarbons.

126

Noise Environment : Anticipated Impacts:

The main sources of noise in the mine are classified as follows:  Transportation Vehicles/tractor trolley  Drilling & Blasting  Crushing & Screening Exposure of Noise may lead to hearing losses and may impact of mental health of Workers working in the vicinity.

Water Environment : Anticipated Impacts:

Mining activities cause adverse impacts due to mine drainage and siltation due to storm water. The impact on water environment has been considered under the following heads:

 Water consumption  Mine seepage and impact on ground water  Impact on surface water bodies  Storm water management Soil Environment : Anticipated Impacts

Most of the stone quarries are operated at the barren area where outcrops of basalt are exposed having very thin layer of soil and overburden. This soil is removed and stacked separately for plantation around peripheral area of 7.5 m.

Land Use :

These stone quarries are very small in area. After removal of stone these abandoned quarries are used as water tank for irrigation purpose by lessee.

Forest :

No quarry is permitted within district within 250m of forest boundary and within 10 km buffer area of Eco Sensitive Area.

127

22. Remedial measures to mitigate the impact of mining on Environment:

Remedial measures to mitigate air environment

 Dust suppression arrangements like water tankers on haulage road and at all dust generation points  Dust extractors during crushing/ screening  Grading of haul roads time to time and cleaning to remove the accumulated dusty material  Regular maintenance of the tractor trolley.  Practicing wet drilling.  Controlled blasting using delay detonators.  Usage of sharp drill bits for drilling of holes  Avoiding of overloading of 10T tippers and covering of loaded tippers with tarpaulins during stone chip transportation  Dust mask provision to workers  Adequate barrier zone will be maintained all along the mine lease boundary and green belt will be maintained in the barrier zone  Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the pollutants

Remedial measures to mitigate noise environment: The operations of the mining equipment, plying of tractor trolley and mine machinery like drill operations are the major sources of undesirable noise in the proposed project area. The following control measures are proposed for bringing down the noise levels-  The vibration due to blasting is minimized by careful planning, supervision and execution of each blast and using milli-second(M.S) delay detonators and proper stemming to prevent blow out of holes  Green belt will be made around the working areas to screen the noise and also for arresting fugitive dust  Maintenance and tuning of machinery would be ensured to reduce undesirable noise  Earplugs and earmuffs will be provided to the workmen  Limiting the speed of haulage tractor

128

 Rubber lining in the chutes of Crushing/ screening plant

Remedial measures to mitigate water environment:

The only pollution anticipated in the surface drainage water is the suspended solids, due to wash off. For this purpose retaining wall with garland drain is proposed. The discharge from this drain is diverted to a settling tank unused pit workings, which allows the sediments to settle. Further to arrest the silted drainage entering into the area down below, check dams and gully plugs shall be erected in the existing natural drains. These check dams also assist in the recharge of ground water system. Deliberate attempt has been made to collect this in to a garden drain. This water will be available for uses integrated above. Percolation losses will be negligible.

23. Reclamation of Mined Out Area (best practice already implemented in the district, requirement as per rules and regulations , proposed reclamation plan)

As per Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013,quarry after exhaustion of mineral and on abandonment , the pit be used as a water tank or be used for fish culture or be used for Municipal solid waste dump yard.

As per requirement of Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013 every stone quarry after exhaustion of minerals will plan Final Mine Closure Plan with the approval of Directorate of Geology and Mining GoM and abandon the stone quarry as per method of approval within time frame prescribed and approved by authority.

In the district, till date no mine for stone is abandoned and Final Closure Work is under operation. Details area as

24. Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan :

Risk Assessment

The proposed project involves Stone mining through semi mechanized opencast mining. The anticipated risks are mentioned below:

Inundation There is no chance of inundation of mine pits from surface waters such as rivers or nalas as it is situated a long away from river. The lease hold area is located in the Jalna district of Maharashtra and the area in general receives appreciable amount of rain fall, which is in the range of 900mm (annual average). Pit slope & dump slope failures Mining is restricted to an average depth of 18 m from surface levels. No permanent dumps are proposed. Blasting Controlled blasting using delay detonators is proposed

Surface Fire There are no ignitable materials in Basalt deposit. Sufficient fire extinguishers of suitable type and make will be made available at strategic locations in the mine lease area to control any fire/explosion incident. Dust from the screening & crushing operations The hazard is the inhalation of dust which is created during the screening & crushing operations which may result in the various respiratory diseases to the workers. While it is not presently possible to totally remove the hazard, properly applied control measures can substantially reduce the risk.

The dust generated during the screening & crushing operations can be controlled by providing proper enclosure to the plant area and by installing rain guns at transfer points inside the plant. Water sprinkling at the crushing and screening plant units also forms an effective measure of controlling dust generation. Provision of green belt surrounding the plant area will further suppress the spread of airborne dust to the surrounding atmosphere. The workers engaged in these operations will be provided with dusk masks. Noise Loading, screening & crushing operations give rise to harmful levels of noise. Noise generated by screening & crushing can be well controlled by providing enclosure and the green belt. The workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs.

130

The noise created is harmful to anyone who is within a zone around screening & crushing machines at which the noise level is above that considered to be safe for persons to work without having to use control measures. Therefore wherever necessary, the workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs.

The noise levels around screening & crushing equipment should be measured and the risk assessed. Unless control measures are in place no-one, except those necessary for the work in hand, should be allowed inside the designated noisy area.

In most cases this will be the operators. The risk is highest at older machines. Newer large machines are provided with sound insulated systems which control the noise levels to acceptable levels.

Other control measures will include training operators and providing them with ear protection, although the later should only be seen as an interim precaution until a permanent solution can be found.

The risk is very high when no control measures are provided. However if all the control measures specified as above are provided the risk will be low. Loading The main hazard associated with loading is the Mineral falling on to the loading labour/tractor, tractor toppling over due to uneven ground, failure of hydraulic systems. Good housekeeping practices, regular cleaning of the haulage roads and regular maintenance of the tractors, loading operations under supervision of competent persons, etc will be done to avoid such accidents. Heavy Vehicles Tractor used for excavation and loading and 20 tonne dumpers used for mineral and waste transport are the major heavy vehicles in the proposed mine. The main hazards arising from the use of such machines are incompetent drivers, brake failure, lack of all around visibility from the drivers position, access to the cab, vehicle movements particularly reversing, roll over, vibration, noise, dust and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver and company employees likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles, which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Visibility defects can be reduced by the use of visibility aids such rear view mirrors.

131

Good maintenance and regular testing are necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. An area shall be set out as a testing area where regular tests are carried out on the effectiveness of a vehicles braking system.

Protection guards will be provided for moving parts of the equipment and handling heavy components during maintenance work. Those most at risk will be the users of the system, vehicle operators and also company employees working in such areas may also be at risk. Explosives No magazine is within lease hold area. Contractual blasting is proposed. House keeping The provision and maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace is the most basic principle of health and safety. Dirty and untidy workplaces or walkways contribute to a very large proportion of trip and fall accidents. In the context of surface mining the provision of well defined roadways and walkways clear of obstruction and regular cleaning up of spillage will greatly reduce the potential risk for this type of accidents. Lack of maintenance may lead to roadways and walkways being unsuitable for use. The Work The application of risk assessment depends upon a full understanding of all aspects of the job being undertaken. In carrying out a risk assessment in relation to a particular task the evaluation must include a review of the knowledge, experience and training of those persons carrying out the work. Personal Competence It follows that the knowledge, experience and training of personnel involved in work is critical to evaluate any risk assessment. A knowledgeable, experienced well-trained and competently supervised workforce will be at a lower risk of accidents occurring than a poorly trained and badly supervised workforce. For this purpose all the supervisory and managerial staff qualified under MMR 1957 shall only be employed. Co-ordination A competent person should be given the responsibility for overseeing and coordinating work as required under the MMMEDR 2013. It is essential that the coordinator ensures that everyone engaged in the work is capable and understands the role of others and their responsibility for each other. This is particularly important when contract workers undertake part or all of the work to be carried out. Equipments The prerequisite for the risk assessment is that equipments are suitable for the work being undertaken and have been designed, manufactured and installed to at least the minimum standards for health and safety.

132

Failure to meet the standard will result in people being at higher risk and remedial steps have to be implemented to compensate the shortfall. Other interim arrangements should be implemented to protect any persons exposed to latent danger. Maintenance of plant and equipment to agreed specification, whether original or upgraded to the latest health and safety standards, is essential. Dangerous parts of machinery Parts of machinery such as revolving parts, in running nips and entrapment between reciprocating parts as defined in European and National standards should be protected meeting those standards. Health hazards For the purposes of this document health hazards should be interpreted as being harmful dust and noise which is emitted during surface mining operations, as well as the handling of heavy loads. While complete elimination and often suppression at source is not practicable, in many cases, the normal threshold values of health standards should be made applicable. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) The PPE should be of good construction, where ever possible ISI certified, suitable for the hazard e.g. a dust respirator fitted with the correct filter to capture the particular hazardous dust and maintained to recommended standards. As personal protective equipment only affords limited protection it should only be used as a last resort and then as an interim arrangement until other steps are taken to reduce the risk of personal injury to an acceptable level. Traffic Movement The traffic movement should only take place within designated areas and over suitable roadways. Adopting one way traffic movement systems are preferred to two directional traffic systems. The risk of accidents due to traffic movement is much less with a one way traffic. Whenever mineral is mined the first step in winning the product is the preparation of the site. The four main stages in the site preparation are: 1. Planning 2. Surveying 3. Clearing of site 4. Laying out Planning The risk of injuries can be significantly reduced if sufficient regard is given to health and safety at the planning stage of a new or developing mine. Using trained drivers can largely eliminate the danger of being struck by large moving vehicles and providing the vehicles with suitable appliances, such as aids to ensure the driver has all round visibility. Designing and implementing one-way traffic systems and ensuring that open

133 edges of roadways are suitably protected with parapet wall to prevent accidental driving off the edge can further reduce the danger. Additionally, ensuring that the vehicles are properly maintained in good working condition, particularly the braking system will go a long way to help the driver control the vehicle. Well-designed access and working platforms will also reduce the possibility of a fall. Surveying Surveying has its hazards, for example surveyors are likely to be seriously injured if they fall from heights or are thrown out of overturning vehicles. Since the hazards are created by ground formation it is unlikely that they can be removed.

Those normally at risk would be the surveying team of the surveyor and assistants. Individuals working at the edge of vertical face or on very steep undulating ground are at greater risk than those working on level ground. Driving over steep rough terrain is more dangerous than driving over gentle slopes. It is necessary to give clear positive instruction and ensure vehicles used to gain access to the areas to be surveyed are well maintained and suitable for the terrain over which access is to be gained.

Clearance Clearance covers all the activities associated with preparing a site ready for laying out primary roads for working a face. The primary hazards are being struck by falling trees and debris from demolition of buildings, use of power saws, equipment used in the removal of the top layers of earth and trucks used to convey it to storage areas, and the possibility of being struck by trucks.

The hazards are created in clearing the site. While the clearing of the site cannot be avoided adopting the safest methods to carry out the work can control hazards. For example, fully trained persons should be used in tree felling operations. Well-maintained fully protected power saws should be used and the operatives should wear full personal protection e.g. safety helmets, ear defenders, face shields, gloves, full protection for legs (trousers) and boots.

Laying out There are many different ways of opening and development of mines but careful planning particularly concerning the mine layout will reduce hazards. Well maintained equipment is essential to reduce the risk of injuries.

If suitable equipment is not used, for example if poor and badly constructed scaffolding is used there is a much higher probability of persons falling from heights or the scaffolding collapsing than if good properly constructed scaffolding is used.

134

To reduce the risk of injuries while using large earth moving equipment and vehicles the equipment drivers and those giving signals should be well trained. The lack of training and competence in the use of such equipment is the biggest cause of such type of accidents.

25. Disaster Management Plan

The following natural/industrial hazards may occur during normal operation.  Inundation of mine pit due to flood/excessive rains;  Slope failure of pits  Accident due to explosives;  Accident due to heavy mining equipment; and

In order to take care of above hazard/disasters, the following control measures have been adopted.  Checking and regular maintenance of garland drains and earthen bunds to avoid any inflow of surface water in the pit  Provision of suitable pumps for pumping out water from the pit during heavy rains  Entry of unauthorized persons is prohibited  Fire fighting and first-aid provisions in the mines office complex and mining area  Provisions of all the safety appliances such as safety boot, helmets, goggles etc. are made available to the employees and regular check for their use  Training and refresher courses for all the employees working in hazardous premises  Working of mine, as per approved plans and regularly updating the mine plans  Cleaning of mine faces is regularly done  Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer’s guidelines  Suppression of dust on the haulage roads  Increasing the awareness of safety and disaster through competitions, posters and other similar drives

The management is able to deal with the situation efficiently to reduce confusion keeping in view of the likely sources of danger in the mine.

Out Line Of Disaster Management Plan

The purpose of disaster management plan is to restore the normalcy for early resumption of mining operation due to an unexpected, sudden occurrence resulting to abnormalities in the

135 course of mining activity leading to a serious danger to workers or any machinery or the environment.

System of communication An internal communication system for the department head and to their line of command should be maintained. Having the telephone nos and addresses of adjoining mines, rescue station, police station, Fire service station, local hospital, electricity supply agency and standing consultative committee members is another essential aspect.

Consultative committee A standing consultative committee of 3 persons headed by Mines Manager will be formed. Facilities & Accommodation Accommodation and facilities for medical centre, rescue room and for various working groups will be provided.

First Aid & medical facilities The mine management is having first aid for use in emergency situation. All casualties would be registered and will be given first aid.

Stores and equipment A detailed list of equipment available its type & capacity and items reserved for emergency will be maintained.

Transport services A well-defined transport control system will be provided to deal with the situation.

Functions of public relations group A cordial relation with government officials and other social service organization and working groups shall be maintained. To liaise with representatives of the mine workers to ameliorate the situation of panic, tension, sentiments, grievances and misgivings created by any disaster. To ameliorate the injured, survivors and family members of affected persons by providing material, moral support, finance and establishing contact with relatives of victims.

Security Strict manning of security posts during the disaster will be done.

136

Catering & Refreshment Arrangements will be made for the victims, rescue teams and others for their Catering & Refreshment services.

26. Plantation and Green Belt Development in respect of leases already granted in the district:

District administration on yearly basis collects the compliance w.r.t. green clearance along with photographic evidences of plantation and safety measures the green belt development plan along with quarry owners individually and with their associations.
