Under NH’s development project, hundreds of kilometres have been proposed to be widened to 4/6 lane depending up on the traffic volume. These National Highways would provide high speed connectivity. NH-95 (0ld) renamed as NH-05 (new) is one of the road under this programme. For the purpose of project preparation, various corridors have been divided into convenient sections, selected on the basis of traffic generation and attraction potential, geographic location and other considerations. This report deals with converting this section from Km. 170.00 (Talwandi Bhai) to Km. 194.00 (Ferozepur) from 2-lane to 4- lanning. The starting point of this section is at one Kilometer from Talwandi Bhai Chowk (Lat.30°50'51"N, Long.74°54'24"E) (Km 170 of existing NH-95) and moves in the West Direction and ends near village Dhakka Basti (Lat. 30°54'18"N, Long. 74°40'28"E.) (Km-194 of existing NH-95), both in the district Ferozepur of Punjab, traversing through plain terrain. The broad features of the state of Punjab and Ferozepur district in which our Project Road lies are briefed herein under. 1.2 Punjab State at a Glance The State of Punjab is situated in the North Western part of India and is surrounded by the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Haryana and it also borders the Pakistan province to the west. Punjab's capital is Chandigarh, which is administered separately as a Union Territory since it is also the capital of neighbouring Haryana. Other major cities of Punjab include Mohali, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Bathinda, Patiala and Jalandhar. Punjab state is located between 29° 30' N to 32° 32' N latitude and between 73° 55' E to 76° 50' E longitude. Its average elevation is 300 m from the sea level. The total area of the state is 50,362 square kilometres (19,445 square miles). The population is 2.77 crores (2011). The population density per sq. km is 550. Punjab has a literacy rate of 76.70%, The total number of districts in Punjab is 22. Following are some facts and figures about the state: Page 3 - Project Report for Forest Department A large portion of the land of the state is under cultivation because the Punjab plain is free from physical handicaps. The deficiency of rainfall has been made up by irrigation facilities. It is only the districts of Ropar and Hoshiarpur that the cultivated area is less than 60 per cent of the total. It is in these districts that considerable land is covered by Shivalik Hills and the beds of seasonal streams that cannot be brought under cultivation. The major crops grown in this state include wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton, maize, bajra etc. Minor crops like millet, barley and fruit and vegetables are also produced in some areas. The soil of the state is very fertile and it is formed by the deposition of alluvium. From geographical point of view the state is divided into two parts i.e. plain region and hilly region. Irrigation in the state is mainly dependent on canals. The agricultural industries in the state include mainly cotton textile, sugar and dairy industry. The state is the major producer of milk in the country. It has got highest per capita availability of milk. Operation Flood was launched in the year 1969 – 70 to increase the production of milk in the country. The three major seasons in Punjab are: summer, rainy and winter. The climate of the plains is excessively hot and dry between April and August, with temperatures as high as 49° C. The rains of the monsoon season begin at the end of June and continue till August. Annual rainfall ranges from about 915 mm (about 36 in) in the north to 102 mm (4 in) in the south. Winters are cool with some frosts. The average temperature in January is 13° C, although at night the temperature sometimes lowers to freezing. In June the average temperature is 34° C occasionally climbing as high as 45° C. Annual average rainfall ranges from 1250 mm in the north to 350 mm in the southwest. More than 70 percent of the annual rainfall occurs during the monsoon season from July to September. Excluding agriculture, other major industries include the manufacture of scientific instruments, electrical goods, machine tools, textiles, tourism, sewing machines, sports goods, starch, fertilizers, bicycles, and the processing of pine oil and sugar. Page 4 - Project Report for Forest Department 1.2.1 Ferozepur District at a Glance The District Ferozepur is situated at India Pakistan border, at the east side Faridkot district, Moga district and at the south side Muktsar District is situated. On the north east the River Sutlej generally separates it from the FIROZPUR and Kapurthala districts and on the south west side the Fazilka district touches the boundaries of Ferozepur. The united stream of the Sutlej and Beas generally separates it from the Amritsar district in the north-west, and farther down from Pakistan with the exception of some areas on each side of the river. Page 5 - Project Report for Forest Department Map of District Ferozepur 1.2.1.1 Area Area and Physiography The total geographical area of the district is 5303 sq. km out of which 3258.78 sq. km fall under Bet area and 196.63 sq. km fall under Border area. The topography of the district is even. It is a plane of alluvial formation sloping gently @ 2ft. per mile from the North East to the South West. The district is divided into three main belts running somewhat parallel to the course of river Sutlej. On South West side, the bet area called "Hittar" having land alluvial dark and gray clay intermixed with straits of sand. On the South East side, the Rohi and Mukhi Plains have light and sandy soil and brackish water in wells. The district has two types of soil namely chestnut brown (Alluvial)-69% and desert soil (31%) Page 6 - Project Report for Forest Department CHAPTER-2 PROPOSAL 2.1 General: Based on the survey of complete NH-95 the following observations have been noticed:- a) Section from Km.92+000 to Km.170+000 (Ludhiana-Moga-Talwandi Bhai Section): Is being widened concentrically by providing Flexible Pavement on both sides of the existing road. b) Section from Km.194+000 to Km.199+000: Is also being widened concentrically by providing Flexible Pavement on both sides of the existing road. c) The available ROW is 60 meter and the existing road alignment is in the centre of ROW. There is no Horizontal curve in the proposed section from Km.170+000 to Km.194+000. d) There is built up area at seven locations (Villages) along the road. A few structures exists in the ROW at these village locations. e) There are five major bridges on the road (In the centre of ROW). The condition of these bridges is good and does not require immediate replacement. Two bridges (adjacent to each other) Rajasthan Feeder and Sirhind Feeder. These are perennial canals, there is no closure. 2.2 Proposals: As described above and keeping in view the various factors discussed with engineers of Authority following option is proposed. 2.2.1 Concentric Widening with all Flexible Pavement: a) Maintain the existing centre line of the road as proposed centre line in the complete length except at the location of approaches to bridges. b) Widen the existing road on both sides with flexible pavement in complete stretch.
