  • 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.

SHRI MANSUKHBHAI DHANJIBHAI VASAVA: Will the Minister of ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE be pleased to state: (a) whether sea/coastal erosion has increased in the country; (b) if so, the details thereof; (c) whether the Government has taken steps during the last three years and the current year to check such erosion; and (d) if so, the details of steps taken to check such erosion including Bharuch and Saurashtra? ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO) (a) to (b) Shoreline change including erosion and sea level rise are slow phenomena and manifested globally. The Ministry of Earth Science monitors the shoreline changes along the Indian coast on an annual basis. Studies indicate various patterns namely, advancement of the sea landwards (erosion), advancement of the land towards sea (accretion) and stable shoreline respectively. Such shoreline changes have been observed for Southern Indian Coastal States, which have impacted the local habitations. (c) to (d) A national strategy for coastal protection along with guidelines for coastal protection measures have been framed for all Coastal States and Union Territories by this Ministry. The Ministry under the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP) prepared shoreline management plans for five (05) identified coastal stretches in Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal. To protect the coastal areas from erosion, initiatives such as mangrove plantation of about 16000 ha, shelter- belt plantation of 1900 ha and installation of Geo-Tubes in 500 m have been taken up as representative activities.
