Major effected areas in India : Entire Sikkim (Mangan, Chungthang, Singtam, Gangtok etc.), North Bengal (Darjeeling, Kalimpong etc.) Details of analysis • Pre and Post-earthquake Satellite data (optical and microwave) were acquired to assess the damage caused by the earthquake (Table 1). • Optical data received within 24 hours were covered with cloud. • All the microwave data (Table 1) acquired by NRSC and International charter were analysed for damage assessment. But microwave data could not be interpreted for damage and landslides because of foreshortening and layover effects due to ruggedness of the terrain. • The latest cloud free IRS data sets were available on 29 and 30, September (Table 1) and the same were analysed for mapping the landslides which occurred after the event. • Total 354 new landslides were mapped using pre and post CARTOSAT-1 stereo data sets.

  • Water Resources
    Chapter 3 WATER RESOURCES In Sikkim, the role of water resources in the environment is paramount. It is recognized that water is a scarce and precious natural resource to be planned, developed and conserved in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. In doing so, the preservation of the quality of environment and the ecological balance are also of prime consideration. The Teesta is the major river system in the state. THE TEESTA and ITS TRIBUTARIES Teesta river originates as Chhombo Chhu from a glacial lake Khangchung Chho at an elevation of 5,280 m in the northeastern corner of the state. The glacial lake lies at the snout of the Teesta Khangse glacier descending from Pauhunri peak (7,056 m) in north western direction. Teesta Khangse glacier and Chho Lhamo are also considered as the source of Teesta river by many authors. Along its traverse from its origin to the plains, the river receives drainage from a number of tributaries on either side of its course. The tributaries on the eastern flank are shorter in course but larger in number whereas the tributaries on the western flank are much longer with larger drainage areas, consequently contributing much more amount of discharge to the main Teesta river. Furthermore, right-bank tributaries drain heavily glaciated areas with large snow-fields. The left bank tributaries, on the other hand, originate from semi-permanent and much smaller snow-fields as compared to right bank tributaries. The major tributaries of Teesta river are listed below. For better understanding of Teesta river system, it has been divided into a number of river sub-systems which are described in the succeeding paragraphs.

College, Krishnagar, Nadia, West Bengal, India INTRODUcnON Taxonomical studies on blowflies from Sikkim have not so much known. Senior-White et al. (1940) reported Calliphora pattoni Aubertin, Calliphora vicina Robineau - Desvoidy, Calliphora vomitoria (Linneaus), Stomorhina xanthogaster (Wiedemann) and Idiella euidielloiaes (Senior - White) from Sikkim. After lapse of over half a century, Kurahashi and Thapa (1994) reported Melinda scutellata (Senior - White) from this state. Nandi (1997b, 1997c) recorded an~ made a short note on importance of this flies. Subsequently, Datta and Parui (in press) recorded three more species from here. The author collected this flies from different parts of Sikkim in 1977 and nineteen species are reported here. SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNTS Subfamily CALLIPHORINAE Tribe CALLIPHORINI I.

  • Negotiating Routes- Sikkim
    Negotiating Routes ‐ Sikkim ________________________________________________________________Frame Works Collective As part of Negotiating Routes, we chose to look at the changing ecology of North Sikkim where 27 hydro-electric projects are ongoing or proposed in the Teesta River Basin. Our initial idea was to travel through eight-ten villages across the area, collecting narratives of ecology- conversations, experiences and anecdotes that spoke about the altering landscape of the area. The idea was to document the sense of imminent loss through personal stories of people. The idea was to also develop a Green Book that would contain vestiges of the present, in the form of vanishing plant species from the villages that we visited- a Book that was an ecological archive of the area. One of the few groups that had stood up against the dams was Affected Citizens of Teesta (ACT) and they became our key point of contact. The largest hydro power project in Sikkim-the 1200 MW Teesta III project- is coming up in Chungthang, a wayside town in North Sikkim. Chungthang is situated on the confluence of two rivers, Lachen Chu and Lachung Chu, and is en route to the more popular tourist destinations of Yumthang and Gurudongmar Lake in the area. We were told it was once a beautiful place but has today become a typical ‘dam’ town- denuded mountain slopes, huge dam machinery, sounds of blasting tearing through the valley and a huge influx of labour from various parts of the country. Chungthang was a deliberate choice to start our work as we wanted to document the physical and social transformation that the town seemed to embody.

  • Disaster Management Plan-(2020-21) East Sikkim-737101
    DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN-(2020-21) EAST SIKKIM-737101 Prepared by: District Disaster Management Authority, East District Collectorate, East Sichey, Gangtok 1 FOREWORD Recent disasters, including the Earthquake which occurred on 18th September 2011 have compelled us to review our Disaster Management Plan and make it more stakeholders friendly. It is true that all the disasters have been dealt significantly by the state ensuring least damage to the human life and property. However, there is a need to generate a system which works automatically during crisis and is based more on the need of the stakeholders specially the community. Further a proper co-ordination is required to manage disasters promptly. Considering this we have made an attempt to prepare a Disaster Management Plan in different versions to make it more user-friendly. While the comprehensive Disaster Management Plan based on vulnerability mapping and GIS Mapping and minute details of everything related to management of disasters is underway, we are releasing this booklet separately on the Disaster Management Plan which is basically meant for better coordination among the responders. The Incident Command System is the part of this booklet which has been introduced for the first time in the East District. This booklet is meant to ensure a prompt and properly coordinated effort to respond any crisis. A due care has been taken in preparing this booklet, however any mistakes will be immediately looked into. All the stakeholders are requested to give their feedback and suggestions for further improvements. Lastly, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the Government, the higher authorities and the Relief Commissioner for the support extended to us and especially to my team members including ADM/R, SDM/Gangtok, District Project Officer and Training Officer for the hard work they have put in to prepare this booklet.
