GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA NORTHERN REGION

I. INTRODUCTION

A. BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE REGION

Northern Region of the Geological Survey of India, covering the States of Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, and Union Territory Chandigarh encompasses an area of 6,68,491 sq km. Out of the Six Regions through which the Geological Survey of India operates in the country, it is the second largest Region. Office complex spreading over on area of 12.5 acres with several peripheral buildings at Plot -2, Sector E, Aliganj, Lucknow. On 28th January 1993, the Office Complex was named as VASUNDHARA. As per HPC Committee, recommendation, the activities are now governed under Mission Mode.

The Northern Region office was started at Lucknow under the stewardship of Shri R. N. P. Arogyaswami, Superintending Geologist. In the year 1961, the Northern Region was elevated to the status of Directorate under Shri P. C. Hazara, as Director. To intensify and concentrate on the geological surveys in the Himalayan terrain, Himalayan Geology Division (HGD) was formed in 1963 with headquarters at Lucknow focusing the problems of the geology of Himalaya transcending the limits of the states falling in the Region. During the year 1967, the post of Regional Director was elevated to the status of Deputy Director General.

Appreciating the importance of glaciers of the Himalayan terrain and their key role in hydrological cycle of the nature, Glaciology Division with headquarters at Lucknow was created on 4th January 1974. For managing the

environment, the Environmental Geology Division was created on 1st January 1975 with headquarters at Lucknow. In 1985, Map Compilation, Publication and Information Division (MCPI) was split into two separate Divisions, viz. Map and Cartography Division and Publication Division. It was at this time that the Publication Divisions of the regions were entrusted with the responsibility of bringing out GSI publications. It is noteworthy that the Regional Library at Lucknow continues to get enriched with the scientific books, journals, unpublished departmental reports, etc. NR library possesses more than 20,500 books and 21,504 unclassified and 7066 classified unpublished reports at present, in addition to the journals. National and International Journals are being subscribed by the Library.

The Himalayan Mountain Ranges extend for about 2500 km (with an average width of about 240 km) all along the northern border of the Indian sub-continent, from Jammu and Kashmir in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the east, constituting the Extra-Peninsular region. The Himalaya is broadly divided into (i) Foothill or Outer Himalaya, (ii) Lesser Himalaya, (iii) Higher Himalaya and (iv) Tethyan or Trans-Himalaya across its length. The major rivers that originate from the great Himalayan Mountain Ranges are the Indus, Ganges and their various tributaries. The average elevation of the Indo-Gangetic plain lying between Peninsular and Extra-Peninsular India is 150 m with a low gradient from about 300 m in the Upper Ganga plain of Punjab to at main sea level at the Sunderbans delta of Bengal.

The region exposes diverse geology with different rock types representing the complete spectrum ranging in age from Archaean metamorphites /granitoids to the youngest Quaternary alluvium. The Region is tectonically and physiographically divided into three broad domains i.e. the Peninsular India, the Extra-Peninsular India and the Indo-Gangetic Plains. Indo-Gangetic plain is sandwiched between the shield area of the Peninsular India and the highly deformed suites of the Himalaya of Extra-Peninsular India, comprising essentially the younger metasediments. The tectonic trough (foreland basin) sandwiched between peninsular shield in the south and Himalayan Mountains in the north formed due to upliftment of the latter, has been filled up by sediments derived from both sides, especially from the Himalaya. Structurally the Himalayan mountain chain occurring all along northern part of India can be divided into four contrasting longitudinal litho-cum-morphotectonic belts from south to north, viz. i) foothill belt, ii) Main Himalayan belt, iii) Indus-Shyok belt and iv) Karakoram belt. The foothill Himalaya is a 10- to 50 km wide Miocene to Recent Molasse sequence represented by Siwalik, Murree and Subathu Group of rocks. The belt is a domain of active tectonics having participated in the terminal phase of the Himalayan Orogeny. This is followed to the north by the Lesser and Higher Himalaya, represented by geological sequences of Proterozoic age with Phanerozoic cover of varying thickness in different parts. The foothill Himalaya is overlain by alluvium and separated from the Lesser Himalaya by the north-dipping fault commonly known as the Main Boundary Fault (MBF) or the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in Garhwal, Kumaon, Nepal, Darjeeling, Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh Himalaya. The Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) limits the margins of the Siwalik Zone against the Ganga Plains.

The Lesser Himalaya is 60 to 80 km wide and is a discontinuous belt stretching between the MBT in the south and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the north. It consists of autochthonous late Proterozoic sediments, thrust over by three vast nappes that are built up successively of Palaeozoic sediments, Precambrian epi- metamorphics and mesograde metasediments. The epi-metamorphic and meso-metamorphic nappes throughout their extent are characterized by Early Proterozoic (= 1900 Ma) and Early Palaeozoic granitic bodies of large dimension. The MCT separates the Lesser Himalaya from the Higher Himalaya to its north. The Higher Himalaya marks the region of the highest peaks of the Himalaya (Nunkun, Leopargial, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Nanda Devi, Api, Dhaulagiri, Mt. Everest, Kanchanjunga), made up of 10-15 km thick Precambrian crystallines exhumed up and intruded by granites, some of which are Tertiary in age. The Indus Shyok belt / the Tethys Himalaya extends to the south of the Trans-Himalayan Karakoram belt and comprises ophiolite mélange (Indus ophiolite and associated formation) and plutonic rocks (Ladakh Granitoid Complex) of the Indus Shyok belt. These predominantly fossiliferous sediments range in age from Late Proterozoic to Eocene. Sporadic occurrencesof chromite has been reported from the ultrabasic rocks associated with Dras volcanics from Orphiolite-Melange zone. Karakoram belt, the northernmost zone, comprises Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary sequences on a metamorphic basement of unknown age. This Trans-Himalayan belt lies to the north of the Indus suture Zone in Ladakh region and extends eastward into Tibet. No important mineral occurrence is known from this belt.

B. GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES

Geologically, under Northern Region, the states of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh encompasses diverse rock types ranging in age from the oldest Archaean metamorphites/ granitoids to the youngest Quaternary alluvium. The stratigraphic succession of the rocks exposed is given in the Map-1.

HARYANA AND DELHI

Haryana State has an area of 44,222 Sq km and Delhi covers an area of 1483 Sq. km. Haryana State physiographically divisible into two geomorphic domain viz. Sub-Himalayan region and the Indo- Gangetic Plain. Geomorphological features of Delhi area are represented by denudational hills and alluvial fill and sandy plains. Geologically 95% of the area of this State is covered by the Quaternary sediments and the rest 5% comprises the Proterozoic rocks occurring in south and west and the Tertiary rocks in the northeast. The Proterozoic rocks are represented by Alwar and Ajabgarh groups of Delhi Supergroup. The Alwar group is represented by Bayal Panchnota Formation. It has been divided into two units, the basal unit consisting of thickly bedded felspathic gritty and micaceous quartzite and the upper unit comprises of ripple marked massive quartzite. The Ajabgarh Group comprises predominantly of argillaceous sediment, comprising slate, phyllite & politic schist and limestone and quartzite. These rocks grade from calcareous facies to argillaceous facies upward. Lithologically Ajabgarh Group is divisible in to five formations, each with characteristic lithounits. These are represented by Golwa-Gangutana Formation, Deota-Dantal Formation, Thanagazi Formation, Asarwas Formation and Tasing Formation. Delhi Supergroup rocks are intruded by basic and acid magmatic rocks. The plutonic phase of acid magmatism is represented by amphibolites, granite, pegmatite and quartz veins while the volcanic phase is represented by rhyolite and hypabyssal feldspar porphyry & aplite. Neoproterozoic rocks referred as Tundapathar Formation belonging to Shali Group occur in the northeastern part of Haryana along the contact between the Siwalik belt and the Palaeocene belt marking the Main Boundary Fault. The Palaeogene sediments comprising Subathu, Dagshai and Kasauli Formations occur in the northern part of Haryana. Tertiary rocks occur over the Proterozoic basement in the western part near Hissar. It is an isolated outcrop measuring about 300m in length and 20m wide, at Daha, 15 km northwest of Tosham. The Siwalik in Haryana are mainly represented by Lower, Middle and Upper Siwalik, stretching from Kalka in northwest to Kala Amb in the southeast. Lower Siwalik is exposed along a NW-SE trending linear belt forming low flanking ridges near Kalka. These consist of coarse red and purple coloured gritty clay & fine to coarse-grained hard earthy sandstone. Middle Siwalik, are present in detached patches as Saketi Formation.. Upper Siwalik comprises red and orange variegated clays and interbanded friable grey sandstone. Around Delhi Ajabgarh Group of rocks exposed as detached hillocks and ridges trending NE-SW expose purple and white quartzite interbedded with phyllite and slate. The Alwar Group comprises quartz amphibole quartzite, sub ordinates schist and minor limestone. They are well developed in the hill ranges of Bayal, Panchnota Madhogarh, Khodana etc in the southwestern part of the state. Quaternary sediments cover almost the whole of Haryana and along the Yamuna River in parts of Delhi. The Quaternary has been classified as Older Alluvium and Newer Alluvium. Older Alluvium is represented by alternating sequence of sand and clay layers with small kankar nodules. Newer alluvium comprises loose grey sand and silt deposited along the Yamuna and Ghaghar and their tributaries and the carbonate and sulphate bearing lake deposits. In the southern and western borders of Haryana the Aeolian deposits occur in the form of sand dunes/sheets constituting the north eastern fringe of Thar desert.

grained weakly bioturbated, cross bedded, calcareous sandstone with local conglomerate and / or shell lag at base. The Gungri Formation comprises black shale, calcareous silty shale, phosphatic, cherty and calcareous nodules and thin limestone. The Salooni Formation is represented by black shale, slate, calcareous slate and lenticles of limestone and is fossiliferous.

PUNJAB

The Punjab state comprises an area of 50,362 Sq km forming the part of Indo-Gangetic basin. The two broad geomorphic entity viz. the Siwalik foothills towards the northeast part of the state and alluvial fill of Indus drainage basin characterise the physiographic setting of the Punjab state. The dominant physiographic high are i) Lahore - Sargodha Ridge in the west; ii) Delhi – Jagadhari Ridge in the east; iii) Delhi – Lahore Ridge in the south and iv) Siwalik ridges in the northeast. Chandigarh covers an area of 114 km.

GEOLOGY

The Neogene and Quaternary units are classified as i) Siwalik Super Group and ii) the Quaternary alluvium comprising older alluvium and newer alluvium. The maximum depth of Quaternary sediment recorded to 4500m. The base configuration indicates that the Punjab basin appears to be deeper in the northern side and shallower southward and deepest being towards NW. The Siwalik Supergroup is classified into three groups namely Lower / Middle and Upper Siwalik Group. The rocks of Lower and Middle Siwalik Group are exposed as NW-SE trending ridges in the northeastern part of Gurdaspur district while the Upper Siwalik rocks are exposed in Ropar, Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur districts. The Lower Siwalik Group, represented by the Chinji Formation, is chiefly composed of fine to medium grained, sporadically pebbly sandstone and chocolate to maroon claystone. The Middle Siwalik Group comprises Dhok Pathan and Nagri formations. The former is consisting of poorly sorted massive, grey, coarse grained and micaceous sandstone with minor conglomerate. The Nagri Formation comprises alternating conglomerate and red clay. The Upper Siwalik Group is made up of coarse gravel and boulder conglomerate alternating with clay bands and sandstone. Its contact with the overlying Quaternary sediments is unconformable. The Quaternary Alluvium of the state can be divided into three chronostratigraphic units viz. (i) Older Alluvium (ii) Newer Alluvium and (iii) Aeolian Deposit. The Older Alluvium is formed by the depositional processes of the pre-existing palaeodrainage of Middle to Late Pleistocene period, comprising admixture of reddish clay, silt, sand with kankar, grey medium to coarse calcareous sand with kankar and subrounded to subangular unsorted pebble, gravel and cobble beds. The Newer Alluvium is formed of present day streams, representing Holocene/Recent period. It is chiefly composed of blue to white-grey micaceous sand with alluvium interbands of purple and red clay. The Aeolian Deposits are spread throughout the Punjab, except in the areas covered by the hard rocks of Siwalik Supergroup. Broadly, these are the undifferentiated aeolian flats/dunes/sand sheet and newer dunes. Based on the degree of consolidation, these can be divided into following three categories (i) stabilized and consolidated older dunes (ii) intermediate and semi-consolidated dunes and (iii) newer, mobile and reversible dunes.

JAMMU & KASHMIR

Jammu & Kashmir State comprises three administrative regions, viz. Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh encompassing an area of 2,22,296 Sq km. Located in the Northwestern part of Himalaya Jammu & Kashmir is a mountainous terrain, except for about a five kilometers wide stretch of Tarai zone on the southern part represented by Siwalik foothills and adjoining Indo-Gangetic Alluvial Plain. The geographical entity of J&K is represented by four tectono geomorphic domain represented by linear tectonic belts, which in the northwest take a turn to the southwest to form the western Syntaxes, the ‘Jhelum Syntaxes’. These tectonic belts from north to south are (i) Karakoram belt, (ii) Indus-Shyok belt. (iii) Main Himalayan belt and (iv) Frontal fold belt. Jhelum Syntaxes and the two re-entrants, the broad Chenab re-entrant near Ramban and the sharp Ravi re-entrant near Dalhousie in H.P. are the major morphotectonic units.

GEOLOGY

The state of Jammu and Kashmir is covered by rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Recent. The geological lithounits / formations are described as below:

Karakoram Belt forms the northernmost sector of Ladakh and covers the southern slopes of great Karakoram Range in Trans-Himalaya exposing Palaeozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary formations of Karakoram-Tethyan basin. Karakoram granitoid occur towards north of Shyok-Nubra zone. The belt is separated from Indus Shyok belt by the main Karakoram thrust also called as South Karakoram thrust. The rocks in the belt are folded into Karakoram synclinorium and Saltoro synclinorium with a geanticline in between. The Karakoram batholith appears to be emplaced along the core of the geanticlines. Indus Shyok Belt is sandwiched between Karakoram belt in the north and Main Himalayan belt in the south, comprising mainly Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments and associated mafic, intermediate and acid magmatic rocks with imprints of Upper palaeozoic and Early to Middle Mesozoic sedimentation in Shyok belt. Wakha, Pashkyum and Shyok thrusts are the major lineaments from south to north in this belt, which have sub- divided the belt into three zones viz. Sangeluma parautochthon, Indus Group- Ladakh Granitic Complex autochthon and Shyok-Nubra zone. The Sangeluma parautochthon along with Indus Group autochthon forms Indus tectonic zone, and Ladakh batholith separates it from Shyok Nubra zone. Main Himalayan belt is the most complex tectonic belt in the region and occurs between Frontal Fold belt in the south and the Indus-Shyok belt in the north, exposing the rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Quaternary. Parautochthonous zone, Kashmir synclinorium, Thathri dome, Chamba synclinorium, Kishtwar window, Giambal-Suru crystalline geanticline, Zanskar synclinorium, Rupshu anticlinorium and Kuling-Lilang Schuppen zone are the prominent structural features of this belt. Phanerozoic succession of Kashmir Tethyan basin is folded into a regional NW-SE trending synclinorium comprising a series of anticlines and synclines. The rocks on the southern flank of Kashmir synclinorium have moved along Panjal thrust to over ride the rocks of Parautochthonous zone and this part of Kashmir synclinorium constitutes Kashmir nappe. Frontal Fold Belt exposes the rocks of Sirban Limestone, Subathu Formation, Murree and Siwalik Group of rocks and the younger Quaternary sediments Foot Hill Fault, Mastgarh anticline, Mandili structural unit. Muttal-Jigni anticline, Lodhra-Lapri anticline and Panchari syncline are the prominent structural features of this belt from south to north. Muree thrust limits the boundary of the belt.

UTTAR PRADESH AND UTTARAKHAND The Uttar Pradesh covers an area of 2,47,933 Sq km represented by vast alluvial fill of middle Ganga drainage system. The southern part of Uttar Pradesh is characterized by rocky upland. The northern fringe area represented by Tarai and Bhabhar geomorphic units flanking the Siwalik Foothills. Uttarakhand covers an area of 46480 Sq km and represents the Western Himalayan domain divisible into Sub or Outer Himalaya, the Lesser Himalaya, the Higher Himalaya and the Tethys Himalaya from South to North.

GEOLOGY

In Uttar Pradesh geologically rocks ranging in age from Archean to Holocene have been been found. The oldest crystalline rocks are confined to the southern and southeastern part of the state and are extensions of sequences exposed in the M.P., Bihar and Jharkhand. These are dominantly represented by basement gneisses, older metamorphites with younger granitoids as intrusives; metasedimentaries; sedimentaries and the alluvial. The metamorphites include various types of schist, quartzite, marble and gneiss. In general, the metasedimentaries belong to Palaeo and Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic period. The sedimentaries include rocks of the Vindhyan Supergroup represent Meso to Neoproterozoic period and Gondwana Supergroup, Late Palaeozoic period. Basic volcanic flows of Late Mesozoic - Early Tertiary period are occurring as capping over earlier sequences as detached outcrops. A major part of the state is covered by Ganga Alluvium. Several mineral deposits of economic importance occur in association with the above rock units in the state. Gneisses with metasedimentarty enclaves along with intrusive granite and other igneous rocks constitute the dominant lithology and represent the oldest suite of rocks. These are confined to the southern part of the state and exposed in the Bundelkhand and Sonbhadra regions. The natural relationship between different lithounits in these oldest rocks has been obliterated by metamorphism, migmatisation, granitisation and repeated deformation. In Bundelkhand region, granite- gneiss and granitoids constitute the dominant rock types and the assemblage is known as Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex (BGC). In Sonbhadra region, gneiss is the dominant rock and the assemblage is termed as Dudhi Gneissic Complex (DGC). The Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex (BGC) contains a wide variety of plutonic and hypabyssal rocks dominated by porphyritic granites of several generations, gneisses, migmatites and leucogranites. Among the enclaves, metabasic rocks are widespread. Rafts of schists and metasediments are also present. Migmatites, different types of granite, quartz reefs and younger basic intrusives have been identified and assigned to various types. Quartz reefs trending NE -SW and forming wall like ridges rising upto 175m above the ground are common. Dolerite dykes trending NW-SE are very common. The Dudhi Gneissic Complex consists mainly of granite gneiss, migmatites and non-foliated, massive younger granite with enclaves of metamorphites and veins of pegmatite, aplite and quartz. This is the westward continuation of the Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGC) of Bihar/Jharkhand. Metasedimentary and meta-igneous enclaves occur with their long axes parallel to the foliation of the enclosing gneiss which is generally ENE -WSW. Dykes of doleritic/gabbroic composition transect the gneissic country. Rocks of Mahakoshal, Bijawar Groups and Vindhyan Supergroup constitute the Proterozoic sequence. The Mahakoshal Group includes metasediments with interlayered metavolcanics and granitic bodies intruding it. Bijawar Group is represented by a sequence of ferruginous quartzite, carbonate, phosphorite, sandstone and tuffaceous rocks. Isolated outcrops of Ajabgarh Group occur around Mathura area. Metabasalts, tuffs, agglomerates and ultramafic (Kimberlite ?) plugs occur within a linear tectonic belt in the Jungel valley of Mirzapur - Sonbhadra area. The Jungel volcanics and sedimentaries are supposed to represent Palaeo to Mesoproterozoic period. The Vindhyan sequence - resting unconformably over the Mahakoshal and Bijawar groups - has been divided into four groups viz. Semri, Kaimur, Rewa and Bhander in the ascending order. The Semri Group includes carbonates, tuffs, shale and minor sandstone, often glauconitic. The Kaimur Group consists of a thick arenite - argillite sequence. The Rewa Group is represented by alternate sequence of argillite and arenite. The Bhander Group is consisting of shale, greenish shale, siltstone, reddish brown to purple pink, spotted sandstone with shale partings and quartz arenite at top. Rocks belonging to the Gondwana Supergroup of Permo-Carb period, are exposed in a small area in Sonbhadra district. It is composed of conglomerate, sandstone, gritty at places, pink and pale green shales. Detached outcrops of basic volcanics (dolerite to basalt), representing the Deccan Trap, are found as capping over Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex, Bijawar Group and Vindhyan Supergroup in Bundelkhand region, southern Uttar Pradesh.

Shri S.K. Ghildyal, Member Secretary and Director, Earthquake Geology Division, GSI, NR, Lucknow initiated the proceedings by welcoming the invited guests and members of the committee and hoped that the ensuing discussions will enlighten the participants in formulating programmes in the future.

Shri D.R.V. Ramana Murty, Convener and Dy. Director General, GSI, NR, briefed about the objectives and activities of the Committee Group IX. He told that though the meeting, which is now held twice in a year, has been mooted to streamline the geoscientific work being done in

24 NR Geological Survey of India

the country by various agencies by exchange of information and interaction to benefit from different agencies' expertise in different fields, but the participation, especially from outside organisations, has not been encouraging. He further informed that on GSI's part, the base document on Mission IV has already been prepared and submitted.

While deliberating on collaborative item on climate change and natural hazards suggested by Dr Kishor Kumar, Scientist, WIHG, Shri Harbans Singh, DIC, Mission- IV welcomed the proposal. He, however, suggested that first the initial groundwork, such as discussions between the two organisations to identify the areas of mutual cooperation, has to be done which may eventually lead to signing of MOUs in specific areas of cooperation.

On a suggestion of Shri Harbans Singh, DIC, Mission-IV, GSI regarding usefulness of geo-environmental appraisal maps of districts of UP for the sodic reclamation programme being taken up in 25 districts of UP by WAPCOS, Shri R.K.Singh, WAPCOS assured that he will apprise 'Bhoomi Sudhar Nigam' about the availability of such maps with GSI.

While deliberating on the presentation on Desert Geology by Shri Z. Iqbal, it was decided that the higher values of Arsenic may be corroborated with the actual medical conditions after discussions with medical authorities. The Chairman suggested that incidence of high Arsenic values should also be shared with CGWB and all the information which have societal impact should be regularly passed on to local authorities.

While concluding the meeting, Shri Harbans Singh, Director-in-charge, Mission IV (EG & GT), Kolkata thanked all the participants for the informative presentations. He regretted the poor participation from other organisations/ stake holders and requested them to come forward and take GSI’s help in developmental activities. He suggested that for seismic micro-zonation work, the district authorities should be sensitised during SGPB meetings and the recommendations of this meeting should be send to them also as these involved societal aspects. He showed deep concern for the dwindling strength of the trained earthquake scientists in GSI and underlined the necessity of strengthening the discipline of Earthquake Geosciences in the GSI by providing training to the officers in this field within the country or, if required, abroad too.

The Northen Region carried out 8 investigations covering 35 projects. Some of the important projects are –Tapovan- Vishnugarh Hydro electric project, Bansagar Project, Luhri Hydel Project, Sawra-Kuddu Hydel Project, Kol Dam Project, Ranjit Sagar Dam Project, Ujh Multipurpose Project and many other projects under PFR and DPR stages. Besides, five investigations were carried out to cover the geotechnical evaluation of communication and transportation project, various civil structure project, flood damage, landslide and stability of slopes on National Highways and Railway alignment, the Katra-Qazigund Rail Line Project was one of them.

Landslide hazard zonation (on macroscale), site specific studies of important slides and communication routes are prominent investigations was taken up. It include, landslide hazard zonation mapping on macro-scale along Narkanda-Rampur - Khab section of NH-22 in H.P. and Landslide hazard zonation in parts of Bageshwar district, Uttarakhand. Besides emergent investigation of the critical landslides on communication route or damages to the demographic centre in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir.

Seismic microzonation studies of major urban agglomerations have been launched throughout the country. DST, Government of India, has identified 38 cities for carrying out these studies. In Northern Region Seismic microzonation studies of Jalandhar urban agglomeration was carried out during Field Season 2010-12. The findings of studies of Delhi, Dehradun and Chandigarh urban agglomerations have already published in the form of Special Publications of GSI. A new item of multi parametric studies to find out seismic status of active fault in Himalayan frontal belt in Kala – Ambala area, H.P. and Haryana was also carried out.

Study of geoenvironmental scenario and geohazard due to the mining of the river borne construction material from Beas and Pabbar river beds/terraces was continued to suggest the remedial measures to maintain the natural course of the river for sustainable development of the area. A new item pertaining to geoenvironmental appraisal of arsenic prone areas in Ghazipur and Mau districts of Uttar Pradesh was also carried out. It was initiated to study the role of environmental geochemistry in the incidence of arsenic contamination in ground water as well as to ascertain the contaminated ground water.

A three years programme of multidisciplinary research item taken up under climatic change and response of environmental system in F.S. 2008-09 was continued with the objective to study the palaeoclimatic changes in selected river basins of northwest Himalayas and to reconstruct past climatic events and responses of environment system during last 60,000 years. During F.S. 2010-12, the field studies and sampling was taken up to fill the gaps which were identified based upon studies undertaken so far. Interbasinal correlation of Quaternary sequences to evolve chronostratigraphy in Kali and Sarju basins was continued to study palaeo-climatic changes and flow regime. Besides, a new research item i.e.Palaeoclimatic and magmato-metamorphic history of Wilkes Land, East Antarctica linked up with Antarctica Division was also carried out.

Significant collections of fossil vertebrates, especially of mammalian group have been made by many of GSI and other workers from northwest Himalaya. The Siwalik belt of Solan and Sirmaur districts, Himachal Pradesh is quite rich in fossil vertebrates. In order to augment fundamental geoscientific knowledge, a programme for significant collections of fossil vertebrates, especially of mammalian groups from Northwestern Himalaya was carried out as a continued item during F.S. 2010-12. Besides, a new item pertaining to detailed studies of Neo-Proterozoic and Early Cambrian eggs/emryos from Krol and Tal groups of rocks in H.P. and Uttarakhand was carried out to understand the evolutionary stages/trends in early metazoan life.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MISSION – IV

Under Seismic Microzonation Studies of Jalandhar Urban Agglomeration, Eighteen boreholes of 30 m depth each have been drilled aggregating about 540 m. Standard Penetration Tests were conducted in the boreholes at 1.05 m depth interval. Bore holes were also logged aggregating 240 m length In order to get a general assessment of average shear wave velocity upto 30 m depth, the shear wave velocities of subsurface soil were computed at every 1.05 m depth interval using empirical relationship between N values and the shear wave velocity. The average shear wave velocity range between 224 m/ s (Bhatijo Randhawa village) to 263 m /sec (North of Kartarpur), which implies that it will fall in category D of the NEHRP (National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Programme) USA Classification, which in turn implies that moderate accentuation of incoming ground motions may be expected and that there will also not be much variation in different parts of the area explored till date.

During the Active Fault Studies in Himalayan Frontal Belt in Kala Amb area, H.P & Haryana, off- setting of the sub-Himalayan ranges in a dextral sense of movement is demarcated at Kala Amb Tear. At many places, the drainage seems aligned in a direction and follows a straight course indicating tectonic control over the area. The study of drainage pattern through the imagery also provides information about the structural control of the area. At few places near Nahan Thrust Trellis drainage pattern demarcated reveals the tilting of the blocks. In the area East of Kala Amb a NE-SW trending fault identified through the satellite imagery showing displacement of litho units.

Geoenvironmental impact assessment of mining in the Beas and Pabbar river beds / terraces for sustainable exploration of minor minerals in Kullu and Shimla district H.P., reveals that the imbalance between replenishment & mining has caused incision of channel; mining is pronounced in right bank. Erosion is aggressive in right bank. Even depth of water in river is also more in right bank; water table varies between 10-20 m bgl. Augmented tubewells for water supply are located on the riverbed at depth of more than 100m at Mandehli, Samoli & Chirgaon. They all are located in the mining zone. It may adversely affect groundwater resources. Iron in all water sample was found well above permissible limit. (300 ppb) More than 1000 ppb was noticed in two samples.

A total 635 groundwater samples and 8 surface water samples have been tested from Ghazipur area by Arsenic Merck’s field kit under item Geoenvironmental appraisal of Arsenic Prone areas in Ghazipur and Mau districts, UP. The groundwater samples analyzed from Older Alluvium shows arsenic concentration up to 0.05 mg/l i.e., within permissible limit. The surface water is found to be free from arsenic contamination. The majority of the area showing the arsenic content within the permissible limit prescribed by BIS ie., <0.05 ppm. X- ray analysis studies of core sediment samples from GBH-1 at depths 21.32m, 32.80m, 33.70m and 42.25m shows the presence of Zalesiite, Mimetite, Picrophamacolite,and Arsenolite respectively which might be possible geogenic sources of arsenic.

During investigation of Intra annual documentation of recessional pattern of glaciers of Ghaghra basin, Uttarakhand Himalaya, the observations / studies indicate: 1) The snout front of Milam glacier has recorded recession in terms of ice cave retreat and area vacation between 1997 and 2011. Post field data analysis reveals 421m of recession, with snout to snout retreat of 28.50 m/year. A time series map of recession pattern of Milam Glacier between 1957 and 2011 was also prepared to show the variation in

32 NR Geological Survey of India

retreat pattern. The average recession rate between 1957 and 2011 is ~29m per annum. 2) During the monitoring of Burphu glacier a remarkable finding was recorded as complete separation of accumulation zone with ablation zone. In the period between 1997 and 2011 ablation area of 1.44 Sq km has been converted into ice mixed debris (IMD). Main Burphu glacier now exists in the form of three separate hanging ice streams. A striking gap of 70 m between right feeder and IMD, 306 m between central feeder and IMD and 610 m between left feeder and IMD was recorded. The average recession rate between 1963 and 2011 is ~64 m per annum. 3) Similarly Poting glacier has changed into ice mixed debris between 1963 and 2011. The average recession rate between 1957 and 2011 is ~21m per annum. 4) As per the findings of field investigation it appears that there have been two important glacial advances in Goriganga valley, of which the second one was a major advance and presence of ice extended up to Bugdiyar (2400m amsl). Three samples have been collected for TL Dating of this event.

Snout mapping on 1:5,000 scale was carried out since 2010 under item Long term monitoring of mass balance studies of Hamtah glacier, Lahaul and Spiti District, Himachal Pradesh. It reveals that the glacier snout has shown a retreat of 19.9 m and has vacated an area of 0.00179 sq km. Between 2000- 2011, the glacier has shown an average annual recession of 13.18 m per year.

In order to provide climate change inputs from the Satluj basin, three glaciers of Baspa valley viz: Shaune Garang, Bilare Bange and Naradu Garang glaciers were mapped during July-September 2011. Dur- ing the studies, a total 2.85 sq km area was surveyed by detailed mapping on 1:5,000 scale of the pro-glacial area. The observations reveal i) During 1963-2011 and 1984-2011 period(s) the glacier snout of Shaune Glacier has shown a total retreat of 977m and 351.6m and vacated an area of about 0.81 and 0.33 sq km respectively. The average annual retreat is 19.94 m per annum for 1963-2011 period, ii) The snout retreat of Bilare Bange glacier since 1963 is 3131.9m with an average retreat of 63.92 m/year and the area vacated was found to be 1.59 sq km with average annual area vacation of 0.024 sq km/ year. Fast retreat of the Bilare Bange glacier can be attributed to the unavailability of tributary feeding glaciers in its upper reaches and low supply of ice due to small accumulation zone, iii) During 1963-2011 period, the snout of Naradu Garang glacier has shown a total retreat of 1638.8m with an average annual retreat of 33.45 m/year. The glacier has vacated an area of 0.912 sq km with an annual area vacation of 0.0186 sq km.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT FOR PARKS AND MUSEUM

PETROLOGY DIVISION

HPC recommendations state "GSI must create National level museum at suitable places and state level museum at all states in collaboration with the State Government depiciting the geological histroy and geological features of the State. In case the State Government already has a suitable museum, GSI can collaborate in enriching that museum. In other states, GSI may take the lead to create the museum and invite the State Government to similarly collaborate. This is to be completed during the XII plan period."

To meet out the objective and recommendations, following steps have been taken:-

a. Authorities of State Museum, Lucknow and Regional Science Center, Lucknow were contacted for establishing a gallery on geology in State Museum, Lucknow and suggesting of face-lift of existing museum. Simultaneously efforts will be made to complete the negotiations for paving way of creating state level geological galleries in other states of GSI, NR.

The outcome of discussions with the Dy.Director, State Museum, Lucknow was intimated to competent authority (copy of letter enclosed).

b. Request was made to the Divisions and Projects if GSI, NR for supply of standard samples of rocks, minerals and fossils, field photographs of geological imprtance for display in the museum and exhibitions.

c. Fieldwork was carried out in December 2011 for collection of samples from different stratigraphic horizons of UP Himlayas. Samples were collected from Jaunsar, Baliana, Krol and Tal Group. Besides enriching the sample stock of the museum, the requirement of equipments for collection of fresh samples, their processing at site, storage and transportation to headquarters, time schedule etc.were also assessed before taking the regular FSP item for the XII Plan.

d. A regular field item has been proposed for collection of rock/mineral/fossil samples from different states of Northern Region of GSI in the forth coming field season.

Palaeontology Division

In order to enrich the newly constructed museum building at Siwalik Fossil Park, Saketi H.P. An item entitled "Search for Vertebrate Fossils from the Siwalik Group in Parts of Sirmaur and Solan Districts, Himachal Pradesh for Saketi Museum" was taken up during F.S.2009-10 & 2010-12; and 90 nos.vertebrate fossils were collected which

95 NR Geological Survey of India

will be displayed in the museum.

Other work related to Park and Museum will be taken up in consultation with Nodal Officer, Park and Museum Cell, GSI, NR, Lucknow.

Himachal Pradesh

Geological Survey of India has established a fossil Park and Museum at Saketi in 1974. It is a unique thought to develop a museum and a fossil park with live size models of the Siwalik mammals at the same place from where the fossils have been recovered. By the side of fossil occurrences, the live size models of the animals existed at that time gives an additional attraction and interest to the visitors. An annual visit of about 15 to 20 thousand tourists at such a remote and ill maintained place is definitely an example of tourist's keen interest to know about natural history.

Therefore, it is proposed to maintain the existing Siwalik Fossil Part at Saketi, Himachal Pradesh, under the GSI Charter for development of parks and museums in all states (as per the 70 recommendations of HPC – vide Sl.No.42, para No.9. 13.1.- which "needs to be implemented latest by end of February 2012 as per the RFD Commitment of the Ministry).

Presently the place is very poorly maintained due to fiscal problems. The present status and the requirements are as follows:

Sl.No. Present Status Funds/manpower Required 1 Six fibre glass live size models are in bad condition. Rs.16 lakh Tortoise was burnt in forest fire, Hippopotamus is totally broken, Elephants and Giraffe need major repairs and Crocodile and Sabre toothed Lion also requies repair. The models are to be fabricated/repaired. All models are to be re-coloured. 2 There is no fencing of models. Wire Rs.2 lakh fencing/platforms for models are prime requisite. 3 Civil work on Auditorium and Museum building is Manpower required: complete. Possession is being delayed due to non availability of manpower for curatorial and other Curator One jobs. MTS Two Watch and Ward Three 4 Fixtures Requirements:

Display shelves Rs.5 lakh Spot lights Rs. One lakh Printed material/Brochures etc. Rs.0.25 lakh Curtains etc. Rs.0.25 lakh 5 Auditorium

Chairs, projector, flooring, curtains etc. Rs.5 lakh

96 NR Geological Survey of India

6 Office/Reception counter Rs.one lakh Furniture, computer, almirah etc.

NID, a premier institution has shown interest in the development of interior design for fossil display. It has asked for travel expenses of scientists to visit Saketi. The proposal was kept in abeyance for the time being due to paucity of funds.

It is proposed to revive the discussions with NID. The Civisl work cost more than a crore. It is worth to design the interior in befitting manner.

State Mueum, Chandigarh

The Natural History Gallery part of the State Museum at Chandigarh is a master piece. It has excellent, very well depicted fossil gallery. The only lacuna noticed is that not much of the rocks and minerals have been exhibited there. A discussion was done with the Director and Curatorial section. The out come of the meeting is as hereunder:

 The display of rocks and minerals are done on rotation. GSI can also suppliment some specimens, which they will exibit on rotation.

 One almirah can also be alloted in the name of GSI to exhibit its specimens.

 The museum is planning to make a new display unit in its park ie. "Mother Earth". For that, they require representative rock samples of one cubic meter in dimension from all over India. The museum personnel welcomed GSI if it can supply rock specimens of more than 1 cu m with plaque.
