DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT: SOUTH TRIPURA DISTRICT, TRIPURA 2019 1. PREFACE: On 15 January 2016, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India issued a notification and in which Para 7(iii) (a) and Annexure (x), purpose and structure of District Survey Report has been discussed. District Survey Report (DSR) will be prepared in every district for each minor mineral. The District Survey Report will guide systematic and scientific utilization of natural resources, so that present and future generation may be benefited at large. The guidelines of MoEF&CC will support that fundamental concept, promoting environmental protection, limiting negative physiological, hydrological and social impacts under pinning sustainable economic growth. It is really an enigma that all earth materials are not used for making bricks. The rudiments of the subject lie within the geology of soil characteristics. Mostly, the presence of clayey soils is the fulcrum of brick earth industry. On this parlance, we can say that the abundance of clayey soil seems to tilt the scales in favour of brick maker (Lessee). So, they should have a business acumen and eye catching overall performances to do this plum job within a time frame of consecutive five years. This District Survey Report (DSR) will contain mainly data published and endorsed by various departments and websites about Geology of the area, Mineral wealth details of the investigated area, details of Lease and Mining activity in the District along with brick earth mining and revenue of minerals. This report also contains details of Forest, Rivers, Soil, Agriculture, climate and other geo- morphological unit. The total geographical area of the District is 1514.3Sq.. km (approx). Although the district is situated in the southernmost tip of the State; it has the advantage of being connected with the State Capital through National Highway 44. The anticlinal hill ranges forms the watersheds from which various drainage channels emerged. The district is drained by many perennial rivers. The major rivers are Gomati, Muhuri, Fenny, Laugang etc. Physiographically, the area can be divided into two parts, Anticlinal Hill Ranges and Synclinal flat- bottomed valleys. The major hill ranges are Baramura and Atharamura. The trend of the hill ranges is almost N – S. Disclaimer: The data may vary due to flood, heavy rains and other natural calamities. Therefore, it is recommended that SEIAA may take into consideration all its relevant aspects/ data while scrutinizing and recommending the application for EC to the concerned Authority.

INTRODUCTION: South Tripura district is situated between North Latitudes 22º58’ 00” and 23º45’ 00” and East Longitude 91º15’ 30” and 91º58’ 30” falling in the Survey of India degree sheet number 79M. It is bounded by Bangladesh on south, east and west sides, by west Tripura district on north and northwestern sides and by Dhalai district on northeast side. The total geographical area of the district is 1514.3 sq.km. Bricks are made by Indian uneducated, unskilled and unemployed labourers. Brick kilns are largest temporary employment provider in Tripura as well as in our country and provide employment to the poorest section of the population who are in a ditch of financial crisis. The local villagers in and around the brick kilns are the key source of “Human Resource” and they boost up the speed of the business of brick kiln industry tailoring their entire manual effort just to alleviate their financial doldrums. The upliftment of socio-economic conditions of these labourers is dependent on the fate of the demand supply gap for pucca bricks in local market. The overwhelming demand of bricks and fabulous response from customers for purchasing bricks put the responsibilities on the shoulders of proprietor of brick maker ensuring a good future of this business.

GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT: a) GENERAL INFORMATION: Geographical Area and Geographical Position: The total geographical area of the District is 1514.322 sq. km. Although the district is situated in the southernmost tip of the State, it has the advantage of being connected with the State Capital through National Highway 44. The project for extension of railway line up to Sabroom Town via Belonia would further improve the transportation and communication link with the rest of the State. While Trishna Wildlife Sanctuary under Rajnagar Block and Pilak under Jolaibari have the potential to become major tourist attractions, Belonia and Sabroom Towns have the potential to become major export- import hub.

Mondal, S.K. Bala, G.M.T. Islam, M.A. Haque, M.R. Islam & S. Biswas Institute of Water and Flood Management, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Hydrological and morphological studies of about 50 rivers in Bangladesh have been done over the last few years. The studies were conducted in relation to 188number of bridges proposed to be constructed on these rivers. The hydrological studies included estimation of flood discharge, level, velocity, hydraulic depth, flow area, etc., based on flood frequency and/or model studies. Flood frequency analysis was carried out using the Lognormal, Gumbel’s Extreme Value Type I, Pearson and Log Pearson probability distribution functions. One-dimensional hydrodynamic model was also used to generate design hydraulic parameters at the selected river locations. The morphological studies included assessment of stability of the river sites using time series satellite image analysis, quasi-three dimensional morphodynamic modeling, cross-sectional analy- sis and field observations. Spatial distribution of various parameters was then investigated. The findings indi- cate that some areas/rivers are hydro-morphologically more active and vulnerable than the others. Even the vulnerability of the same river varies depending on the location. Accordingly, hydraulic intervention in some rivers are found to be more challenging than in others. 1 INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a country of rivers.

The epicenter of this earthquake was Kanchanbari located in the Dhalai district of Tripura. The present study aims to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of this earthquake in the vicinity of the epicenter. To assess and determine the level of damage, the affected areas were visited during the first week of the 2017 earthquake. Various Government offices were also consulted to acquire data on damages caused by the earthquake. Moreover, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (RS & GIS) techniques were applied to address the influence of this earthquake on bank erosion. During the field visit, the striking features of soil liquefaction generated by the earthquake were observed in the flood plain area of the Manu River. Landslide, with three casualties in India and the neighbor Bangladesh, and damages of infrastructure were also reported. Additionally, an assessment of the bank erosion study revealed that the rate of the post-earthquake bank erosion increased to 592%, compared to the pre-earthquake bank erosion within the study length of the Manu River.

  • Badal Sircar
    Badal Sircar Scripting a Movement Shayoni Mitra The ultimate answer [...] is not for a city group to prepare plays for and about the working people. The working people—the factory workers, the peasants, the landless laborers—will have to make and perform their own plays. [...] This process of course, can become widespread only when the socio-economic movement for emancipation of the working class has also spread widely. When that happens the Third Theatre (in the context I have used it) will no longer have a separate function, but will merge with a transformed First Theatre. —Badal Sircar, 23 November 1981 (1982:58) It is impossible to discuss the history of modern Indian theatre and not en- counter the name of Badal Sircar. Yet one seldom hears his current work talked of in the present. How is it that one of the greatest names, associated with an exemplary body of dramatic work, gets so easily lost in a haze of present-day ignorance? While much of his previous work is reverentially can- onized, his present contributions are less well known and seldom acknowl- edged. It was this slippage I set out to examine. I expected to find an ailing man reminiscing of past glories. I was warned that I might find a cynical per- son, an incorrigible skeptic weary of the world. Instead, I encountered an in- domitable spirit walking along his life path looking resolutely ahead. A kind old man who drew me a map to his house and saved tea for me in a thermos. A theatre person extraordinaire recounting his latest workshop in Laos, devis- ing how to return as soon as possible.

For sustainable development of hill tracts, electricity is inseparable. Like other parts of Bangladesh hill tracts districts felt increasing demand of electricity. In this paper an attempt has been taken to present the existing environmental condition and analysis the future environmental condition after implementation of project. Electrification will extend the length of the active day. Electrification will improve security (people’s perception of safety and security) at the region. The elements of the project identified as components for analysis are chosen based on DOE’s guideline. The study showed that 87% people say that they feel safer at night since being electrified. Impacts are classified on the basis of EPA’s scaling and DOE, university’s teachers, NGOs expert’s opinions. Value more than 10 is classified significantly affected element of the project.

There will be wide range of vehicles such as two and three axle/ multi axle trucks, bus, car, two-wheeler etc. These type of transportation system are major contributors to air pollution as these emit harmful pollutants which has adverse impact on environment. It is difficult to project air pollution as because pollutant enters the air by different amounts at different times and also varies with places. It is expected that air pollutants which might be discharged by the operations of tenant in the industrial and logistic area would be well controlled and managed by the tenants. For indicative assessment of air quality of the project area, projection has been done for some pollutants due to vehicle emission only. Forecast Area The areas examined to forecast is the project area (Zone 2A and 2B of BSMSN) shown in the Figure 1- 1. The project area is about 1450 acres. At present, it is observed that the concentration of some pollutants such as SO2, NOX, CO, PM2.5, PM10 and SPM are below the allowable limit as per DoE standard (Bangladesh). All the surveyed data are given in the baseline data collection section of main report.
