Upgrade / strengthen Hanur to Tamil Nadu Border section of SH-79 & MDR outside wildlife sanctuary area and to strengthen the carriageway without widening & geometric improvement inside wildlife sanctuary areas . Improve the connectivity to Hoganakkal Falls (Palar to Hoganakkal), which includes improvement of riding quality by rehabilitation of the existing deteriorated pavement surface and adding Parapet / Railing to all Bridge structures which is currently missing. Proposed project roads have been shown in Figure-1. 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT ROAD Total length of the proposed project road will be 95 km, which includes: a) Hanur (Ch. Km 85+815 of SH-79) to Tamil Nadu border near Palar (Ch. Km 163+023 of SH-79) – 65.5 km End point at b) Palar to Hoganakkal Falls (ODR) -29.5 km Tamil Nadu Border near Palar. The project road in majority length has intermediate lane carriageway of 5.5 m width (Figure-2), about 1.6 km of project road has two lane i.e. 7.0 m wide carriageway (Figure-3). Project road at many locations has sharp horizontal and vertical curves not conforming to design standards as shown in Figure-4 and Figure-5. The project road is located in plain terrain (9 km), rolling terrain (50.0 km) and hilly terrain (36 km). Out of 36.0 km of the hilly terrain, 8.4 km stretch is above 1,000 m from mean sea level.

The project road passes through various small and big settlements and in existing condition it is observed the local city traffic and congested lanes impede the free flow of through traffic Some of the major settlements along project road include Hanur, Kaudalli & M.M. hills. The Male Mahadeshwara Temple at Male Mahadeshwara Hill (M.M. Hills) is a pilgrim town located near existing chainage km 133+300 (design Ch. Km 133+750) of the proposed project road. The ancient and sacred temple of Sri Male Mahadeshwara is a very popular Shaiva pilgrim centre. It draws lakhs of pilgrims from the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and other parts of India. Apart from being a pilgrimage centre, M.M. Hills possess natural beauty in the form of large tracts of forest area. The beautiful landscapes of hills and valleys are covered with extensive forests. M.M. Hills is bound by the River Cauvery to the north-east and by the River Palar to the south. Thus, it forms an important tourist place. 81.789 km out of 95 km of the proposed project road is passing through two Wildlife Sanctuaries namely Malai Mahadeshwara Wildlife Sanctuary and Cauvery Wild Life Sanctuary. 49.883 km stretch of the project road traverse through Malai Mahadeshwara Wildlife Sanctuary and 31.906 km stretch of the project road traverse through Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary as given in Table-1. Overall assessment reveals that the project road needs to undergo geometric improvement for both horizontal and vertical alignment.

Commercial activities is only noted when alignment passes through settlements however no major industries are noted along project road. Major settlements along the project road are Hanur, Kaudalli, Male Mahadeshwara, Palar and Gopinatham. Issues along the Project Road: i) Proposed Project alignment, passes through wild life sanctuary and 8.4 km stretch is above 1,000 m from mean sea level as such improvement proposal needs to be carefully formulated keeping in mind minimal impact on such Eco sensitive areas and also catering to existing traffic needs. Figure-8 Damaged pavement ii) Pavement is damaged at some sections condition near Tamil Nadu Border due to lack of maintenance and deficiency in drainage as shown in Figure-8. iii) Sharp hair pin bends are there in the alignment section passing through M.M. Hills which need to be addressed keeping in view the fact that the section is passing through wildlife sanctuary. iv) At many locations school and religious structures exist along the project road as such improvement proposal need to be carefully prepared to have minimal impact on such structures 3.0 ENGINEERING SURVEY AND INVESTIGATIONS Proposed project road starts in Hanur at Km 85+815 of SH-79 and ends at Tamil Nadu border near Palar Km 163+023 of SH-79 (approximate length 65.5 km). The ODR section starts at Palar at Ch. Km 162+670 and ends near Hoganakkal Falls (approximate length 29.5 km).

  • “Grazing Business Shrinking the Potential
    1 A GENERAL ARTICLE “GRAZING BUSINESS SHRINKING THE POTENTIAL TIGER RESERVE” ! “ALARMING STORY OF “LIVESOTOCK-GRAZING-BUSINESS” IN FORTHCOMING MM HILLS TIGER RESERVE” Massive commercial exploitation of vast wild life expanse of MM Hills & adjoining forest reserves for livestock grazing is deteriorating the most promising territorial jurisdiction of Tigers and prey population of ungulates leading to degradation of the existing forests and outstanding wild life habitat. A K Singh Nearly 21 percent of Karnataka‟s forest area is affected by livestock grazing ( FSI 1995). Nearly 54% of the forest area of one of the most promising forthcoming MM Hills Tiger Reserve experiences grazing incidence causing severe degradation of the forests and deterioration of wild life habitat. The livestock population in Karnataka as per 1997 census is 45.5 million. It is at its zenith and is going on beyond carrying capacity of adjoining forest reserves contiguous to rural areas due to multiple business & purely commercial reasons. Farmer‟s dependence on the livestock for manure, agricultural cultivation & small scale business operations are on the rise. Use of cattle for agriculture operations and transport, livestock as a source of income generation, cattle farming as main occupation, livestock farming as insurance against crop failures and drought. Grazing and browsing by domestic cattle, goat, sheep is in its full swing in forests areas of MM Hills. Uncontrolled grazing in forests, often beyond their carrying capacity by livestock has adversely affected the regeneration status and quality as well as growing stock of our forests. Over grazing also affects soil properties adversely. The negative impact on soil include formation of small gullies, loss of top soil, compaction of soil and reduction of porosity.
