EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 Mizoram State Road Project II (MSTP II) The Government of India has requested World Bank for financing rehabilitation, widening Public Disclosure Authorized and strengthening of State Highways and District Roads in the State of Mizoram, and enhances connectivity. In line with this request, Mizoram State Roads Project II (MSRP II) is proposed. The proposed roads under MSRP II are shown in Map-1. The MSRP II is to be implemented in two groups. The proposed group –I and group –II project corridors are shown in figure 1 and table 1. Group –I of the project is under project preparation. Project Preparatory Consultants1 (PPC) is assisting MPWD in project preparation. The MSR II has been categorised as category ‘A’ project. Table 1.1 – Proposed Project Roads under MSRP II Group -1 District(s) Length i.

Zawlpui – Phairuangkai Lunglei 30 km 1.1 Champhai – Zokhawthar road The Mizoram Public Works Department has decided to upgrade the existing 28.5 km Champhai – Zokhawthar road from single road state highway standard to 2-Lane National Highway Standard. This road passes through a number of villages like Zotlang, Mualkwai, Melbuk Zokhawthar and part of Champhai town etc. This road is important lifeline for the people in the Eastern part of Mizoram and connecting to Myanmar . The road Public Disclosure Authorized alignment passes through frequently cultivated Jhum land, plantation forest, habitation etc. Executive Summary C-Z Road ……………………………………………………..i 1.2 Requirement, basis and objective of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) As per World Bank Policy, for category “A” projects a detailed EA report need to be prepared along with an Environment Management Plan. Government of India (GOI), Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) EIA Notification on Environmental Clearances (September 14, 2006) –also indicate the requirement of a detailed EIA and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for Environment Clearance for Category A and B projects1. The EIA report has been prepared in order to meet the requirements of the World Bank Policies as well as the EIA notification GOI, MoEF. Public Works Department (PWD) of the Government of Mizoram is the proponent of the C-Z Road. STUP Consultants Pvt. Ltd is assigned as a consultant by PWD to carry out the EIA. 2.0 Proposed alignment, width and gradient A lower standard road, typically about 5 m wide, (categorized by PWD as State Highway ) already exist, which will be improved to two-lane national highway standard (roadway width of 12 m). The project will maintain a ruling gradient of less than 5.0% with the maximum gradient being 7.2% at few selected stretch. The proposed improvements include expansion, widening, provision of cross-drainage facilities, curves and gradient improvements. In most locations centre line of the improved road is likely to remain within the existing Right of Way (RoW) except in few sections in which re- alignment is necessary. The designed length of the improved road is 26 Km. New construction/ re-alignments have been proposed in the following three locations: Re-alignment of the existing initial stretch of the Champhai– Zokhawthar road between km 0/00 – 3/00 by shifting the existing take-off point at km 150/00 to a proposed new take-off point at km 146/00 (i.e. located at out skirt of Champhai town) on Seling – Champhai road It is diversion of Mualkawi village from Km 7+640 to Km 9+200 1Category A project is cleared by the Expert Appraisal Committee or EAC constituted by MOEF and Category B by State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) constituted by MOEF at State level. Executive Summary C-Z Road ……………………………………………………..ii Realignment of existing road from Km 17+050 to Km 24+300 to bypass the habitant and heavily built-up areas of the villages Melbuk & Zokhawthar (Refer map -2).

Length of cut slope varies randomly from 3.0 m to 15.0 m. It will generate about 1.02 million M3 of spoil; out of which 0.3 million M3 will be disposed in to designated disposal sites and remaining will be used for construction of the road. Additional land requirement will be 48 ha out of which 0.28 ha is plantation forest area. The total Project cost for civil construction works and other allied charges is Rs. 183.40 Crores 3.0 Environmental Legislation and Policies The following national and state laws are applicable in this project.

Applicable social safeguard policies are discussed in R&IPDP. 4.0 Methodology Broad influence area of the proposed upgrading of C- Z Road is defined as 5(five) kilometers on both side of the road and a tentative width of about 300 m along the road has been considered as Core Influence Zone (CIZ). Actual CIZ may vary from issue to issue and site to site. Executive Summary C-Z Road ……………………………………………………..vi Methodology adopted are review of literature and secondary data collected from various sources, collection of information/ data from fields, consultation with stakeholders, and analysis and assessment. Based on this, measures were developed to avoid, minimize and mitigate the adverse impacts as well as enhancement measures. The Environment Management Plan (EMP) contains the mitigation and enhancement measures along with cost. 5.0 Baseline environmental scenario Physical Setting. Project influence area has a typical tropical climate. The summers are generally warm and wet, but winters are cool and dry. Three seasons are winter (November- February), summer (March – May) and rainy season (June-October). The area has a pleaset climate. The temperature ranging from 8°C to 28°. The average annual rainfall of 2013 was 2590 mm (most of it occurs during rainy season). The height of the road at various locations varies from 1350 m near take off point to 700.00 m River Tiau above mean sea level (MSL) .Within the 5 KM area of the proposed project corridor, Champhai is the highest point (altitude is 1665m) located at chainage 0.00 KM along the existing alignment. The geology of road influence area of 5 km represents Barail Group of rocks which comprises a monotonous sequence of shale inter bedded with siltstone and hard compact, thinly bedded, grey to khaki, fine grained sandstone. Locally, a few hard, dark grey compact, medium to fine grained quartzwacke bands are present. About 32% slope within the core influence area (300m) of the proposed alignment is found to be stable while the remaining may consider as unstable.

  • Nandini Sundar

    Nandini Sundar

    Interning Insurgent Populations: the buried histories of Indian Democracy Nandini Sundar Darzo (Mizoram) was one of the richest villages I have ever seen in this part of the world. There were ample stores of paddy, fowl and pigs. The villagers appeared well-fed and well-clad and most of them had some money in cash. We arrived in the village about ten in the morning. My orders were to get the villagers to collect whatever moveable property they could, and to set their own village on fire at seven in the evening. I also had orders to burn all the paddy and other grain that could not be carried away by the villagers to the new centre so as to keep food out of reach of the insurgents…. I somehow couldn’t do it. I called the Village Council President and told him that in three hours his men could hide all the excess paddy and other food grains in the caves and return for it after a few days under army escort. They concealed everything most efficiently. Night fell, and I had to persuade the villagers to come out and set fire to their homes. Nobody came out. Then I had to order my soldiers to enter every house and force the people out. Every man, woman and child who could walk came out with as much of his or her belongings and food as they could. But they wouldn’t set fire to their homes. Ultimately, I lit a torch myself and set fire to one of the houses.

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

Siaha district is comprised of numerous hills and valleys and is rich in vegetation and forests. Jhum cultivation is still widely practiced as the traditional farming system. The cropping pattern of the Siaha district is characterized by the predominance of rice as the lead crop. Agricultural crops account for more than 65 percent of the gross cropped area which indicates the prevalence of subsistence agriculture and lack of crop diversification.
