The project road (AS-37C) between Kalitakuchi to Barpeta (58.50km) is proposed for improvement and upgradation. It passes through three districts i.e. Kamrup, Nalbari and Barpeta and connects Guwahati, the capital city of the state. The project road is an intermediate bituminous road with length of about 58.5km and the carriageway varies between 5.0 and 5,5 m. The road passes through the flood plain of Brahmaputra River. It takes off at Kalitakuchi from the State Highway between Hajo and Nalbari and ends beyond Barpeta enroute to Jania . The entire stretch passes through the densely populated area. The proposed road improvement involves acquisition of land. Residential and commercial structures, other assets, common property resources within the Corridor of Impact will also be affected. Figure 1:Location Map of AS-37C 2.0 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT ROAD AND SCOPE : 2.01 Name of the Road – Bilasipara to Fakiragram (AS-11) The Project Road AS-11 is a State Highway and is a part or a place of the corridor among Kokrajhar, Fakiragram, Bilasipara and Dhubri. The corridor provides connectivity to the thickly populated area in Lower Assam between Fakiragram and Bilasipara. Fakiragram is connected by road network and railway and connected to Kokrajhar and beyond to Bongaigaon at NH-31 whereas on the lower end, Bilasipara is connected to Dhubri, both at NH-31 B. For all practical purposes, this Road Corridor is a link between NH-31 and NH-31B through the interior lower Assam plain of the State. The Project Road takes off from old NH-31 at Bilasipara. The road passes through plain terrain having flat gradient. The horizontal geometrics of the Project Road are easy without sharp and substandard curves. The embankment is low and almost entire length of the road gets submerged every year during monsoon period resulting in erosion of shoulders and disintegration of road pavement. The existing single lane road is now reduced up to 2 m width Page 2 of 22 SEMI ANNUAL REPORT ON LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT and in some stretches; the crust has been washed away altogether. The road passes through a number of villages enroute between Bilasipara and Fakiragram. Land use along the Project Road is predominantly agricultural but with stretches passing through road side villages and built-up areas. Total length of the Project Road as per design is 16.20 km. Figure 2:Location Map of AS-11 3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT: 3.01 Name of the Project: IND: North East State Roads Investment Program. 3.02 Location: (i) Kalitakuchi to Barpeta (AS-37C) (ii) Bilasipara (NH-31) to Fakiragram (AS-11) 3.03 Total Length of the project road: (i) Kalitakuchi to Barpeta (AS-37C) = 58.50 km (ii) Bilasipara (NH-31) to Fakiragram (AS-11) = 16.20 km 3.04 Administrative Approval Value: 169.94 Crore 3.05 Component of the funds for the project: - Government of India share: 150.76 crore - State Share: 19.18 crore 4.0 INFORMATION ON LOAN: 4.01 Kalitakuchi to Barpeta (AS-37C) & Bilasipara (NH-31) to Fakiragram (AS-11) - Loan number: ADB 2770- IND - Signing Date: 10.12.2012 - Effective Date: 10.12.2012 - Name of the Borrower: Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region - Name of the Employer: Assam Public Works Department - Name of the Bank: Asian Development Bank - Loan amount in various currencies equivalent to Indian Currency (Rupee): 169.94 crore Page 3 of 22 SEMI ANNUAL REPORT ON LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT 5.0 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESETTLEMENT ACTIVITIES 5.01 Handed over sections Land free from encumbrance needs to be handed over to the contractor for fast and speedy execution of civil works. 5.02 Process An assessment is made of the ownership of the land based on the available revenue records. Subsequently a survey is undertaken of the land to determine the extent of impact. This appraisal is initiated with government land as it is less likely to have any impact and thus easier to hand over. On appraisal if no impacts are found on any Title- holder (TH) or Non-title holders (NTH) like encroachers or squatters, then it is deemed to be free from encumbrances. This is certified by the NGO engaged for implementation of the resettlement activities followed by a further assessment by the CSC through its Land Acquisition and Resettlement Specialist and then handed over to the contractor for initiation of construction activities. Since there is no NGO available for the resettlement activities, this activity is being done by the Resettlement Expert (RE) and further certified by the Resettlement Officer (RO) of the PWD. The land is formally handed over to the contractor by the PWD. This methodology has been followed when handing over the stretches mentioned ahead. 5.03 Encumbrance Free Sections of AS- 37C: The PWD has handed over a length of km 8.240 in this reporting period. Thus handing over a total of 36.069 Km of encumbrance free land to the contractor by 13/10/2014, vide letter no. CSC/BLA/SGCCL/2014/0749. This followed a process of proper verification/ certification by the NGO and then the CSC. This is in addition to the 27.92 Km already handed over till June 2014.

All of the rivers and streams which intersect the district arise in the hills and mountains and flow into the Brahmaputra. The principal northern tributaries are the Manas, the Barnadi and the ?agladia which rise in the Himalaya mountains- These rivers have a tendency to change their course and wander away from the former channels because of the direct push from the Himalayas.

  • 4.The Brahmaputra River.Pdf
    4. The Brahmaputra River 4.1 Introduction The Brahmaputra Basin which has derived its name from the Brahmaputra River is one of the most densely populated river basins in the world. It is located at a longitude of 82°-97°east and latitude of 21°-31° north . This basin covers an estimated population of seven hundred million people of China, India, Bhutan and Bangladesh. The Brahmaputra river is considered as an international river and traverses through several countries . It originates from the Kanglung Kang glaciers east of Manas Sarovar which is at an elevation of 5150 m. In Tibet where the upper course of the river is located, it travels 1625 km and then enters Indian territory through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.It traverses 278 km in Arunachal Pradesh and 640 km in Assam. A total number of fifty nine tributaries are received by this river, twenty two in Tibet , thirty three in India and three in Bangladesh. Dutta (2001) says, “closer to its source it is known as the mutsung tsangpo, then the moghung tsangpo and finally the tsangpo while Chinese maps have it as the yarlu tsangpo-brahmaputra,"( as cited in The Assam Tribune, Nov 4, 2001). In Tibet the river is called by the name of Tsangpo and Yarlung Zangbo in China. In India it is known as the Brahmaputra, and Jamuna in Bangladesh. One of the major rivers of the world, the Brahmaputra is described , ‘ A river extraordinaire, the Brahmaputra presents a picture of awesome expanse, enchanting grandeur , over whelming sobriety and immense vigour' .
