  • Chapter Vi Landslide As an Agent of Rayeng Basin Degradation
    CHAPTER VI LANDSLIDE AS AN AGENT OF RAYENG BASIN DEGRADATION 6.0 Scenario of landslides The landslides are one of the significant types of natural hazards. Massive landslides make trouncing of both creature existence and assets. Yet, people livelihood in the mountainous regions is habituated to survive with such events. With the augmented tourism over the precedent few decades, residential areas have been make bigger over mountainous slopes, which of course necessitate new communication system. This disturbs the usual slopes and an environment of the mountainous regions, in that way greater than ever susceptibility to landslide happening. Geomorphic studies of landslides take account of the assessment of vulnerability and causes responsible behind occurrences. Landslides are the most significant disparaging geomorphic process accountable for degradation of Rayeng Basin. Throughout intense rainfall, the weathering process is accelerated reducing schists and mudstones into silts and fine sands, and succeeding failure of these fine materials triggers landslides in the Rayeng Basin. 6.1 Methodology of study Study of" landslides of the basin incorporate, recognition of affected areas based on the field study and secondary data from earlier study. Intensive study has been made on the factors associated to landslides such as geology, slope angles, soil, climatic condition, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and last but not the least i.e. human interferences in the basin. In this milieu, topographical maps, geological map, satellite imageries of the basin have been studied intensively. Meteorological data are collected. On the basis of several factors an effort has been made to prepare a landslides susceptible zones map of the study area.

  • Chapter 2: Historical Development of Darjeeling Hills 2.1 Introduction the Darjeeling Hills Wasonce Ruled by the Kingdom of Sikk
    Chapter 2: Historical development of Darjeeling hills 2.1 Introduction The Darjeeling hills wasonce ruled by the Kingdom of Sikkim. Darjeeling region was converted into a hill station by the British East India Company in 1800's and came to be known as the Queen of the Hills, and remained a part of West Bengal in independent India. The name of Darjeeling is a composition of two Tibetan words, 'Dmjee' means Thunderbolt and 'ling' means place hence Darjeeling meansLand of the Thunderbolt. At present Darjeeling district is composed of four sub-divisions i.e., Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong and Siliguri. The former three sub-divisions are together known as Daijeeling hill area, which is the study area for the present research. The history of Darjeeling is rather complex but interesting. The brief history ofDarjeeling district is described in the following sections. 2.2 Pre-British Period Till the early 19tl' century, the area around Darjeeling was part of Kingdom of Sikkim. In 1814, the British East India Company intervened in skirmish between Sikkim and Nepal, following which Sikkim became a buffer state between Nepal and Bhutan. In 1828, a dispute occurred between Nepal and Sikkim. British East India Company representatives were sent from Maida to resolve the dispute. They found the Darjeeling very suitable for sanitorium for • British troops. The company negotiated with the King of Sildcim to take the area. On the first day of February 1835, the Maharaja of Silddm handed over a strip of territory on the Himalaya, 24 miles long and about 5 to 6 miles wide, as a mark of friendship with the then Governor General, Lord William Bentinck, for the establishment of a sanitorium for the convalescent servants of the East India Company.

  • District Disaster Management Plan-2019,Kalimpong
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN-2019,KALIMPONG 1 FOREWORD It is a well-known fact that we all are living in a world where occurrence of disasters whether anthropological or natural are increasing year by year in terms of both magnitude and frequency. Many of the disasters can be attributed to man. We, human beings, strive to make our world comfortable and convenient for ourselves which we give a name ‘development’. However, in the process of development we take more from what Nature can offer and in turn we get more than what we had bargained for. Climate change, as the experts have said, is going to be one major harbinger of tumult to our world. Yet the reason for global warming which is the main cause of climate change is due to anthropological actions. Climate change will lead to major change in weather pattern around us and that mostly will not be good for all of us. And Kalimpong as a hilly district, as nestled in the lap of the hills as it may be, has its shares of disasters almost every year. Monsoon brings landslide and misery to many people. Landslides kill or maim people, kill cattle, destroy houses, destroy crops, sweep away road benches cutting of connectivity and in the interiors rivulets swell making it difficult for people particularly the students to come to school. Hailstorm sometimes destroys standing crops like cardamom resulting in huge loss of revenue. Almost every year lightning kills people. And in terms of earthquake the whole district falls in seismic zone IV. Therefore, Kalimpong district is a multi-hazard prone district and the District Disaster Management Plan is prepared accordingly.

Das Commerce College, Guwahati 781008, India E-mail: [email protected] (Received on 18.05.2020, Accepted on 11.11.2020) ABSTRACT Extra-peninsular Gondwana rocks are exposed in and around Kalijhora in Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The Kalijhora lithostratigraphic column is largely arenaceous. An attempt was made to analyse the textural attributes of these Gondwana sandstones which was unknown till date. Kalijhora sandstones are largely medium grained, poorly sorted, positively skewed and leptokurtic. The main mode of transportation for the sandstones seems to be combination of traction and suspension mechanism. Mixing of finer grains imparted bimodality to the distribution. Addition of fines to the relatively coarser main mode suggests the occurrence of a temporary turbid like condition in the otherwise calm riverine depositional environment leading to the transport of both coarser and finer fragments side by side. A phase of transgression also affected the sediments that show affinity towards deltaic (fluvial) as well as shallow marine depositional setting.

  • Geotechnical Evaluation of Kalijhora Landslide on Sevok – Teesta Bazaar Road, Along NH 10, Kalimpong District, West Bengal
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 23, Issue 8, Ver. 4 (August. 2018) PP 38-47 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Geotechnical Evaluation of Kalijhora Landslide on Sevok – Teesta Bazaar Road, Along NH 10, Kalimpong District, West Bengal. Pranatosh DasMondal* *Research Scholar, Geography, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Corresponding Author: Pranatosh DasMondal Abstract: Kalimpong District in the Eastern Himalaya in West Bengal, India has been intensely destabilized by many landslides. Recently the incidence of landslide occurrence has increased rapidly with the gradual anthropogenic abuse of slopes specially the development of transport arteries and consequent jerk and vibration by vehicles. Due to landslides, the Darjeeling Himalayan region faces major problems of geoenvironmental imbalance and poses threats to life and property. In 2015, a major landslide occurred near Kalijhora area on right bank of Teesta river along NH 10, between Sevok – Teesta bazaar road, Kalimpong District, West Bengal. This landslide is reactivated last few years causing disruption of traffic along this important hill route and creating recurrent economic loss to the state exchequer. In view of the importance of the Kalihora landslide, detailed investigations incorporating relevant engineering geological and geotechnical parameters were carried out in order to find out the factor of safety. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 10-08-2018 Date of acceptance: 24-08-2018 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- I. INTRODUCTION The Darjeeling Himalaya is a fragile terrestrial system, which is too often disturbed by various environmental catastrophes. Slope instability along transport and arterial sectors is perhaps the most hazardous among the environmental catastrophe threatening the Darjeeling Himalaya.

  • Development Programmes and Its Environmental Impact
    CHAPTER-S Development Programmes and its Environmental Impact 8.1 Introduction The early developer of Darjeeling identified appropriately that developing communication with rest of the country is the key to develop the newly annexed hitherto inaccessible te!Tain. The then Darjeeling hill area was mostly uninhabited only dotted with few settlements of Lepcha cmmnunity. The means of communication in Darjeeling hills up to 1835 were very rudimentary. A few narrow rough tracks through forests and occasional cane bridges over torrents were all that existed at the time of Grants memorandum of 1830 that mentioned only two routes then existing northward from the plains into Sikkim.
