2014 /21178/12 /H3 Collectorate, Wayanad Date: 30.6.2015 2014 /21178/12 /H3 Collectorate, Wayanad Date: 30.6.2015 Proceedings of the Chairman, District Disaster Management Authority and the District Magistrate, Wayanad (Present: Keshvendra Kumar IAS) Wayanad district situates at the southern tip of the Deccan Plateau. Wayanad is placed at an altitude of 700 to 2100 metre from the MSL. The terrain is dominated by the presence of Western Ghat mountains like the Chembra Peak which is 2100 metres in altitude, Banasura Peak (2073 m in altitude) and Brahmagiri (1608 m in altitude). A major portion of the district is forest. The landscape includes ridges, valleys and slopes apart from rivers and streams. 2. In a high altitude area like Wayanad, particular care shall be exercised to protect the land and its population from the threat of natural disasters. Geological peculiarities of Wayanad pose threat of earthquake and landslide. The recent landslides occurred in Uttarakhand (during the month of June 2013 ) and Pune (at Malin, on 30 July 2014) clearly shows the fatality and peril of landslides. The recent earthquake of Nepal aemonstrates the catastrophic devastation capability of an earthquake. So in public interest, it is pertinent and inevitable to take proper action for safeguarding the district from earthquake and landslide. 3. Hon'ble High Court of Kerala held in its judgment in 'Thilakan V/s Circle Inspector of Police and others' dated 23.10.2007 (2008(1) KLT 141) that "'The concept of sustainable development is now part of our environmental law, in view of various decisions of the Apex Court. The competing claims of the present generation for development and also the claims of future generations to inherit a healthy environment have to be balanced. While exploiting the resources, the capacity of the environment to repair and replace, has also to be taken note of. If a tree is cut and removed, for Gnother tree to grow to the same size, it may take several years. If a bucket of soil is removed, to generate the same, the earth may take a few hundred years. The same is the case of other natural resources also. The length of time only varies. The revenge of mother earth has started displaying in tho form of earth quakes, tsunamies, unusually wild cyclonic storms etc. Therefore, it is high time that we think of putting a stop to the defiling and degrading of mother earth 4. In the same judgment the Hon'ble High Court held that the 'Precautionary principle' is part of Environmental legislation in India. 5. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India held, in its judgment in Veliore Citizens' Welfare Forum vs Union of India ((1996) 5 SCC 647) that 'Some of the salient principles of 'Sustainable Development' as culled from Burtland Report and other international documents, are Inter- Generational Equity, Use and Conservation of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection, the Precautionary Principle, Polluter Pays Principle, Obligation to Assist and Co-operate, Eradication of Poverty and Financial Assistance to developing countries. We are, however, of the view that The Precautionary Principle and the Polluter Pays Principle are essential features of Sustainable Development'. The 'Precautionary Principle ' in the context of the municipal law - means : (i)Environmental measures - by the State Government and the statutory authorities- must anticipate, prevent and attack the causes of environmental degradation. (ii) Where there are threats of serious and irreversible damage, lack of scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation. (iii) The 'onus of proof is on the actor or the developer/industrialists to show his action is environmentally benign.' 6. The presence of high rise buildings poses threat to the environment and for the safe and peaceful living of citizens in Wayanad. The hon'ble High Court of Kerala has held that Precautionary Principle is part of Environment Legislation in India. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that Precautionary Principle mandates that the Statutory Authority must anticipate, prevent and attack the causes of environmental degradation; and that lack of scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing prevention measures when there are threats of serious and irreversible damage. In the instant case, high rise buildings are posing threat to environmental sustainability of Wayanad district. It is a cause of environmental degradation. Presence of high rise buildings in a high altitude landscape can cause landslides and earthquakes. The threat is serious and devastating as it will cause destruction of human life, flora and fauna along with the collapse of surrounding landscape, in case of a landslide or earthquake. The Hon'ble court made it clear that lack of scientific certainty is not a valuable reason for postponing action to prevent damage. A landslide or earthquake will surely result in destruction of life. The lives of people of Wayanad is facing threat from landslide or earthquake, as a result of the presence of High Rise buildings. 7. Section 30(2) (iii) of the Disaster Management Act 2005 (Act 53 of 2005) empowers the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) to take action for ensuring proper measures are taken for the prevention of disasters. Section 30(2) (v) further empowers the DDMA to issue direction to different authorities at district level and local authorities to take such other measures for the prevention of disasters. 8. In this circumstance, in the DDMA meetings dated: 27/05/15 and 17/06/15, it is held that in the interest of preventing disasters, it is necessary to control and regulate the presence of high rise buildings in the district. So, in exercise of the power of District Disaster Management Authority as aforesaid, the following orders are issued. ORDER 9 . Under sections 30 (2) (iii) and 30(2)(v) of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (Act 53 of 2005) order is hereby issued to the Secretaries of all Grama Panchayats and Municipality in Wayand district ,the District Town Planner, Wayand, The Environmental Engineer, Pollution Control Board, Wayanad to ensure that i.

  • Summary-Report-On-Godavari-River
    Summary Report on the Source and Headwaters of the Godavari River, near Tryambakeshwar, India By Subijoy Dutta, P.E. Rivers of the World Foundation (http://rowfoundation.org ) Background: The Godavari originates 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the Arabian Sea in the Western Ghats of central India near Nasik in Maharashtra. It flows for 1,465 kilometres (910 mi), first eastwards across the Deccan Plateau then turns southeast, entering the West Godavari district and East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, until it splits into two watercourses that widen into a large river delta and flow into the Bay of Bengal. The Godavari River has a coverage area of 312,812 km2 (120,777 sq mi), which is nearly one-tenth of the area of India and is greater than the areas of England and Ireland put together. The river basin is considered to be divided into 3 sections: upper (source to confluence with Manjira), middle (between confluence of Manjira and Pranhita) and lower (Pranhita confluence to mouth). These put together account for 24.2% of the total basin area. The rivers annual average water inflows are nearly 110 billion cubic metres. Nearly 50% of the water availability is being harnessed. The water allocation from the river among the riparian states are governed by the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal. The river has highest flood flows in India and experienced recorded flood of 3.6 million cusecs in the year 1986 and annual flood of 1.0 million cusecs is normal.
