Pamban Bridge 1 Pamban Bridge Pamban Bridge Pamban Road and Rail Bridge Official name Annai Indira Gandhi Bridge Carries 2 lanes of road traffic Crosses Palk Strait Locale Rameshwaram, Tamilnadu, India Coordinates 9°16′56.70″N 79°11′20.1212″E The Pamban Bridge (Tamil: பாம்பன் பாலம்) is a cantilever bridge on the Palk Strait connects Rameswaram on Pamban Island to mainland India. It refers to both the road bridge and the cantilever railway bridge, though primarily it means the latter. It was India's first sea bridge. It is the second longest sea bridge in India (after Bandra-Worli Sea Link) at a length of about 2.3 km. The railway bridge is 6,776 ft (2,065 m)[1] and was opened for traffic in 1914. The railroad bridge is a still-functioning double-leaf bascule bridge section that can be raised to let ships pass under the bridge. The railway bridge historically carried metre-gauge trains on it, but Indian Railways upgraded the bridge to carry broad-gauge trains in a project that finished Aug. 12, 2007. Until recently, the two leaves of the bridge were opened manually using levers by workers.[1] About 10 ships — cargo carriers, coast guard ships, fishing Inaugural Plaque vessels and oil tankers — pass through the bridge every month. From the elevated two-lane road bridge, adjoining islands and the parallel rail bridge below can be viewed. Pamban Bridge 2 As per chronicles of Kutch Gurjar Kshatriya community, mentioned in their books, The erection and construction of Pamban Bridge was done by Mistri Manji Daya Wegad with Lakhu Devji Vegad both of Anjar, Varjang Hirji of Nagalpar and Gangji Narayan of Khedoi. Together built the Railway lines and Pamban Bridge over creek of Rameshwaram to Pamban construction of which they started in year 1887 and completed sometime in 1912 for South Indian Railway. While working on Pamban Bridge the Mistris Lakhu Devji Vegad of Anjar and Gangji Narayan of Khedoi also built famous Temple of Neel-Mandir having Pamban Bridge seven domes at Rameshwaram, construction which, they started in 1899 and completed in about five years by 1905. After completion of bridge metre-gauge lines were laid by them from Mandapam up to Pamban Station, from here the railway lines bifurcated into two directions one towards Rameshwaram about 6.25 miles (10.06 km) up and another branch line of 15 miles (24 km) terminating at Dhanushkodi. The section was opened to traffic in 1914.[2][3] The noted boat mail ran on this track between 1915 and 1964 from Madras-Egmore up to Dhanushkodi, from where the passengers were ferried to Talaimannar in Ceylon. The metre-gauge branch line from Pamban Junction to Dhanushkodi was abandoned after it was destroyed in a cyclone in 1964.[4] According to Dr Narayanan, the bridge is located at the "world's second highly corrosive environment", next to Miami, US, making the construction a challenging job. The location is also a cyclone-prone high wind velocity zone.[1] This Bridge consist of 143 piers and the centre span is a Schrezers rolling type lift span. It's 220 ft (67 m) long and each of 100 tonnes. Location The bridge spans a 2 km-straight between mainland and island and is the only surface transport link between the two. The mainland end of the bridge is located at 9°16′56.70″N 79°11′20.1212″E. Rail Bridge from India Mainland to Rameshwaram Pamban Bridge 3 Rumours about the Bridge There are rumours floating around regarding an incident that supposedly happened on the bridge. One version is reproduced below. The Pamban Bridge is situated in Tamil Nadu, India. At the entrance of the bridge you can see a picture of a weeping man holding some human body parts close to his chest. This bridge was built during the British rule in India and it was constructed in such a way that the center portion of the bridge could be lifted with the help of huge wheels, so that ships could easily pass under the This bridge, constructed by the Indians over a hundred years ago and still in good bridge. On the bridge, roads and rail tracks condition, is a marvel of engineering. Until recently, the bridge formed Pamban island's only link with the Indian mainland. Thousands of Hindu pilgrims on are laid for trains and other vehicles to pilgrimage to the holy Hindu shrine of Rameswaram cross the bridge every day. pass... A middle aged man was appointed to roll the wheels up and down when ships arrive. Once he saw a train slowly approaching, while he was pulling back the bridge after a ship quietly passed beneath. He had to pull back quickly or else there would be a fatal accident and thousands would have died. At that time his 9 year old son came with lunch. When he saw his father struggling with the wheels, he kept the lunch box down and started helping him to roll the wheels to put the bridge back. Suddenly his son's finger got caught inside the wheel and he started crying out. At this time if the father tries to save his son, the bridge could not be put back on time. He had no other option but to ignore his son's cry. With all his strength he kept on rolling the wheels to down the bridge. As the wheels rolled on, his son slowly started slipping away into the huge machine. Tears rolled down his father's cheeks, but he ignored his son's cry. If he tried to save him, the train will surely fall into the sea and thousands of people will die. Slowly the boy's whole body fell into the machine and his father could hear his bones breaking one by one, until with a loud sound, his head cracked. The train with thousands of passengers slowly rolled on the rails, without knowing what had happened there. Though this man performed his duty honestly he lost his only loving son. With extreme lamentation, he pulled out his son's body parts from the machine and held it close to his chest and cried bitterly. British Government honored him greatly and in memory of this incident they placed the picture at the entrance of the bridge.[5] }} This story is highly scattered all around the internet although at various forum discussions it has been seen that the above story is just story.[6][7] The bridge requires twelve people, six on each side, to manually operate its moving sections.[8] Also, there is no such picture at the entrance of the bridge. And neither is this story known to locals as fact or hearsay from previous generations. The story seems to have been entirely manufactured on the internet and to feel some pride in being honest towards work. The earliest known version of the story appears as Christian story. The story attempts to draw a parallel between the father's alleged sacrifice of his son, and the sacrifice of the God in sending his son Jesus down to Earth.[9] The story itself, created in 2003, was not original, and was based on an award-winning 2003 Czech film, Most.

    3 MARITIME BOUNDARIES: INDIA-SRI LANKA The Government of the Republic of India and the Republic of Sri Lanka signed an agreement on March 23, 1976, establishing maritime boundaries in the Gulf of Manaar and the Bay of Bengal. Ratifications have been exchanged and the agreement entered into force on May 10, 1976, two years after the two countries negotiated a boundary in the Palk Strait. The full text of the agreement is as follows: AGREEMENT BETWEEN INDIA AND SRI LANKA ON THE MARITIME BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES IN THE GULF OF MANAAR AND THE BAY OF BENGAL AND RELATED MATTERS The Government of the Republic of India and the Government of the Republic of Sri Lanka, RECALLING that the boundary in the Palk Strait has been settled by the Agreement between the Republic of India and the Republic of Sri Lanka on the Boundary in Historic Waters between the Two Countries and Related Matters, signed on 26/28 June, 1974, AND DESIRING TO extend that boundary by determining the maritime boundary between the two countries in the Gulf of Manaar and the Bay of Bengal, HAVE AGREED as follows: Article I The maritime boundary between India and Sri Lanka in the Gulf of Manaar shall be arcs of Great Circles between the following positions, in the sequence given below, defined by latitude and longitude: Position Latitude Longitude Position 1 m : 09° 06'.0 N., 79° 32'.0 E Position 2 m : 09° 00'.0 N., 79° 31'.3 E Position 3 m : 08° 53'.0 N., 79° 29'.3 E Position 4 m : 08° 40'.0 N., 79° 18'.2 E Position 5 m : 08° 37'.2 N., 79° 13'.0 E Position 6 m : 08° 31'.2 N., 79° 04'.7 E Position 7 m : 08° 22'.2 N., 78° 55'.4 E Position 8 m : 08° 12'.2 N., 78° 53'.7 E Position 9 m : 07° 35'.3 N., 78° 45'.7 E Position 10m : 07° 21'.0 N., 78° 38'.8 E Position 11m : 06° 30'.8 N., 78° 12'.2 E Position 12m : 05° 53'.9 N., 77° 50'.7 E Position 13m : 05° 00'.0 N., 77° 10'.6 E 4 The extension of the boundary beyond Position 13 m will be done subsequently.

    1. Introduction

    Tamil Nadu State Action Plan for Climate Change 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Globally observations point towards a climate change scenario as temperatures are increasing, sea levels are rising, with a perceivable increase in severity and frequency of extreme events (IPCC 2007a; Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX), 2012) and the speed of the change is evidently fast. This is leading to a complex situation, whereby all spheres of our existence are being impacted. Model projections; indicate a further escalation of the situation if greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources keep on rising unabated. It is surprising that solutions to adapt or mitigate the situation essentially are emerging from indigenous knowledge, State of art technology and research in all disciplines and fields. Due to global temperature rise and speed at which climate change is occurring, it is evident that countries are becoming vulnerable to climate change, which reduces the development path. Hence, capacity to adapt should be increased through implementation of suitable national adaptation plans. Future vulnerability depends not only on climate change but also on the type of development path that is pursued. Thus adaptation needs to be implemented in the context of national and global sustainable development efforts. The international community is identifying resources, tools, and approaches to support this effort. Adapting to climate change entails taking the right measures to reduce the negative effects of climate change (or exploit the positive ones) by making the appropriate adjustments and changes. There are many options and opportunities to adapt.
