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.

A well-known painter and a distinguished photographer, he is an internationally known author of several books on art and other subjects, closely interwoven with UNESCO’s programmes, principles and ideals.

He joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1953 and served as Ambassador of India in Asia, South America, Africa and Europe before joining UNESCO in1982, based in Paris. South Asia Foundation At the inaugural ceremony of the Institute of Kashmir Studies on 26 May 2008, Madanjeet Singh presented President Pratibha In 1995, in recognition of his lifelong devotion to the cause of Patil with a copy of his book, This My People, to which Prime communal harmony and peace, the UNESCO Executive Board Minister Jawaharlal Nehru handwrote a preface, shortly after created the biennial ‘UNESCO-Madanjeet Singh Prize for the India’s Partition in 1947.
