Brief Report on Jagdishpur- Haldia & Bokaro- Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL Phase-II) Project
GAIL (India) Limited JAGDISHPUR – HALDIA & BOKARO -DHAMRA NATURAL GAS PIPELINE (JHBDPL Phase-II) Brief Report on Jagdishpur- Haldia & Bokaro- Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL Phase-II) Project Page 1 of 8 GAIL (India) Limited JAGDISHPUR – HALDIA & BOKARO -DHAMRA NATURAL GAS PIPELINE (JHBDPL Phase-II) 1.0 Introduction: 1.1 MoP&NG granted authorization to GAIL (India) Ltd in July 2007 for laying of Jagdishpur - Haldia Pipeline (JHPL) with design capacity of 16.00 MMSCMD including 4.00 MMSCMD as common carrier. Despite the initial active engagement, the Project had to be kept on hold due to non-execution of Kakinada-Haldia Pipeline by Reliance, fall in domestic gas from KG-D6, delay in revival of fertilizer plants and non-tie-up of gas with anchor load customers. 1.2 Further, in view of the cabinet approval for revival of FCIL- Gorakhpur & HFC -Barauni and allocation of Daman field Gas by MoP&NG to FCIL-Gorakhpur, the project is being revived as the energy corridor for eastern India. Subsequently, it was clarified by MoP&NG that Bokaro - Ranchi - Angul - Paradip / Dhamra Pipeline will be clubbed with JHPL and gas pipeline loop would be completed from Phulpur to Paradip / Dhamra. Accordingly, the project has been renamed as Jagdishpur- Haldia & Bokaro- Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL). 2.0 Salient Features: 2.1 The salient features of the JHBDPL Phase-II project is as below: Design Capacity 16 MMSCMD Design Pressure 92 kg/cm2g Pipeline Length: 1836 Km (Pipeline diameters 36”/ 30” / 24”/18”/12”/8”/4”) States covered: Jharkhand, West Bengal & Odisha Completion schedule: by 2018 Estimated Project cost Rs.

Field Diary Kolkata-Haldia-Kolaghat Triangle Jithin Sabu Research Associate, CUTS International
Field Diary Kolkata-Haldia-Kolaghat Triangle Jithin Sabu Research Associate, CUTS International About the Field Visit Under the project entitled ‘Enabling a political economy discourse over multimodal connectivity in the BBIN sub-region (M-Connect)’, a team from CUTS International, comprising Jithin Sabu, Srijata Deb and Bijaya Roy, visited Kolkata, Haldia and Kolaghat in West Bengal. The purpose of the visit was to assess and investigate the infrastructure, trade logistics and to do stakeholder consultations for exploring ways and means of encouraging and promoting multimodal connectivity among the BBIN countries. Major observations and experiences of the CUTS’ team during the visit are summarised below. Visited Locations 1 Kolkata Days The CUTS team landed at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International airport, Kolkata, for a week-long field visit in the Southern region of West Bengal. It was night when the team reached Kolkata and the visual of the ‘City of Joy’ was very beautiful with all the lights and glow. A view of Kolkata city The accommodation was arranged in a hotel near Ballygunge. It was very close to the famous Victoria Memorial Museum, which is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria. The erstwhile capital of British India, Kolkata, is now a large metropolitan city, where one can see the hand-drawn rickshaws and the underground metro hand-in- hand. Both extremities of life are visible in Kolkata, the slums and the multi-floored glass buildings. The wind in Kolkata was revealing its rich heritage of festivals, music, architecture, antiques, soccer matches and a culture that is long associated with the great Hooghly (Bhagirathi) river.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of West Bengal with Special Emphasis on Kolkata
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard 4 Assessment of West Bengal with special emphasis on Kolkata 4.1 Introduction Safe urbanization and earthquake disaster mitigation protocol necessitates seismic hazard assessment either by Probabilistic or Deterministic means for the generation of design response spectra at a site of interest with an appropriate zone factor for the computation of seismic coefficient to be adapted in building code. The State of West Bengal with over 91 million inhabitants is the fourth most populous states in India and seventh-most populous sub-national entity in the world. West Bengal is located in Bengal fan basin which has been predominantly considered as stable and of sparse seismicity. However occurrence of some devastating earthquakes viz. 1897 Great Shillong earthquake of Mw 8.1, 1950 Assam earthquake of Mw 8.7, 1930 Dhubri earthquake of Mw 7.1, 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake of Mw 8.1, 1964 Sagar Island earthquake of Mw 5.4, 2011 Sikkim earthquake of Mw 6.9 and the recent 2015 Nepal earthquake of Mw 7.8 within about 500 km circumscribing West Bengal has ample proof of seismic vulnerability in the region. The Shillong plateau, Eocene Hinge Zone and the Central Himalayan subduction zone are the principal source of seismicity in the region. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS, 2002) places West Bengal in Seismic Zones II–V, corresponding to peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the order of 0.1 to 0.36g. The lowest hazard Zone II is associated with the southwestern part of West Bengal while Zone III covers the central part of West Bengal.
