OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT: Srinagar district possesses a versatile geological scenario giving rise to availability to a number of important major as well as minor minerals. The most potential mining zone lies in the south-eastern part of the district where Limestone Mines and Building Stone quarries are housed. 02 captive leases of Limestone deposits have been granted to Khyber Industries Pvt. Ltd. at Tulpaw and Sekinar and 01 captive lease is allotted to Saifco Cements at Samman falling in Tehsil Panthachowk southeast of District Srinagar. Cement grade Triassic Limestone available in the district are utilised for the manufacture of cement by Khyber and Saifco, leading cement brands of the Kashmir Valley with cumulative annual production of 420000 TPA. Limestone mining is carried out in an open cast through mechanised means. Boulder, Bajari and Sand are the most essential requirement for construction of infrastructure projects which is a yardstick for the development of an area. There is a huge demand of these materials (Boulders, Bajari and Sand) for the infrastructural development works in the District and adjoining areas. The demand of sand is mainly met through by river borne sediments of River Jhelum which is restricted between two stretch i.e, Lasjan Bridge to Rajbagh and Cement Bridge to Panzinara. The Stone quarrying for building and road material is extensively carried from the hill slopes at BSF Panthachowk, Dakteng, Shalguf, Zewan Bala whereas the demand of Bajri/Grit is met through manufactured grit by stone crushers.
