A Study on the Drainage System, Mineral Potential and Feasibility of Mining inRiver Stream beds of Distri Mandi.(H.P )

1. Introduction

Minerals are valuable natural resources being finite and non-renewable. They constitute the

vital raw materials for many basic industries and are a major resource for development. The history

of mineral extraction in India dates back to the days of the Harappan civilization. The wide

availability of the minerals in the form of abundant rich reserves made it very conducive for the

growth and development of the mining sector in India. The country is endowed with huge resources

of many metallic and non-metallic minerals. Mining sector is an important segment of the Indian

economy. Since independence, there has been a pronounced growth in the mineral production both

in terms of quantity and value. India produces as many as 87 minerals, which includes 4 fuel, 10

metallic, 47 non-metallic, 3 atomic and 23 minor minerals (including building and other

materials).Minerals are classified into two groups, namely (i) Major minerals and (ii) Minor

minerals. Amongst these two groups minor mineral have been defined under section 3 (e) of Mines

and Minerals (Regulation and development) Act, 1957 and further governed by the state

River/Stream Bed Mining Policy and Guidelines. They include building stones, gravel, ordinary

clay, ordinary sand, limestone used for lime burning, boulders, kankar, murum, brick earth,

bentonite, road metal, slate, marble, stones used for making household utensils etc. and other

minerals not defined as minor minerals in the said Act are treated as major minerals. They include

coal, manganese ore, iron ore, bauxite, limestone, kyanite, sillimanite, barites, chromite, silica sand,

fluorite, quartz, sand used for stowing purposes in coal mines and many other minerals used for

industrial purposes.

The mining activities in the state of Himachal Pradesh can basically be categorized as in large

sector and in small sector. The large sector comprises of limestone projects for manufacturing lime,

cement and other lime products while the small mining sector comprises mining of minor minerals

like sand, stone, bajri, slate, shale and clay etc. which are basically building material to meet up the

demand for infrastructure development of the state.

In pursuance to the orders of Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 27/02/2012 in the matter of

Deepak Kumar etc. vs State of Haryana and Others, prier environment clearance has now become

mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease. As such ministry of

Environment, Forest and Climate change, govt. of India vide notification dated 15/01/16 and

20/01/2016 has constituted the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA)

for grant of Environment Clearance for category “B2” projects for mining of minor minerals. In the

aforesaid notification dated 15/01/16, the procedure for preparation of district survey report, which

shall form the basis for application for environment clearance, preparation of report and appraisal of

projects, has been prescribed. Accordingly the survey report for district Mandi has been prepared.

2. Overview of Mining Activity

Minerals constitute the back-bone of economic growth of any nation and Himachal has been

eminently endowed with this gift of nature. Minerals are non-renewable natural resources essential for

mankind and backbone of economic growth of any country. The progressive industrialization and

infrastructural activities has led to increased demand and resulting in large scale production of

minerals. But there is no large scale mining activity in Himachal as in some other parts of the country

as the State is not a mineral rich State. Almost all the mines are open cast and limited in aerial extant.

The main exploitable minerals in the district are Limestone, dolomitic limestone, shale, minor

minerals like sand, stone & bajri. The mining activities in district can basically be categorized under

large sector and in small sector. The large sector comprises of major limestone projects for cement

manufacture and the small mining sector comprises mining of minor minerals like sand, stone, bajri,

slates, shale, clay etc. which are basically building material required to meet the infra-structural

development of the state. In addition 11 mining leases for minor minerals have been sanctioned in the

district.

Process of deposition of sediments in the rivers of the district:-Methodology and Guiding principles

The trace of each and every river/stream was covered and studied on the following principles ofGeology/River bed mining:

The general geology of the area; The presence of any major geological structure; Origin of river; Pattern of primary/ secondary/tertiary streams; Total catchments; General profile of river/streams; Meandering Pattern;

6

Bank stability; Total potential of river bed in reference to minor mineral; General slope of the river/stream; Morphogenetic regions.

In Addition to Above presence of following object are also studied The presence of any WSS Schemes Bridges Agriculture fields Bank protection works Plantations etc.

Following are the important guiding principles considered while recommending the river/streambed or part of river/stream bed for collection for minor minerals.

The production of aggregate in a particular area is a function of the availability of natural resources,

the size of population, the economy of the area and various developmental and infrastructural worksbeing undertaken in the area like road construction, hydro-electric projects etc. Further, being a low-value, high-volume mineral commodity, the prices are dramatically affected by transportation distances.If the distances increase, the transportation cost may increase much more than the cost of the aggregates.

A stable river is able to consistently transport the flow of sediments produced by watershed such that

its dimension (width and depth) pattern and Vertical profile are maintained without aggrading (buildingup) or degrading (scouring down)

The amount of boulders, cobbles, pebbles and sand deposited in riverbed equals to the amount

delivered to the river from watershed and from band erosion minus amount transported downstream eachyear.

It is compulsive nature for river to meander in their belts and therefore they will have to be provided

with adequate corridor for meandering without let or hindrance. Any attempt to diminish the width of thiscorridor (floodway) and curb their freedom to meander would prove counterproductive.

Erosion and deposition is law of nature. The river/stream has to complete its geomorphological cycle

from youth, mature to old age. River capturing is unavoidable Erosion in upstream and deposition in downstream Tendency of the river/stream toward grade Fundamentally, the lowest point of any stream is fixed by Sea Level The ratio between the width of meander belt and width of the stream decreases as the width of the

stream increases.Formation, Bank erosion and Replenishment of any specific riverbed depends

Primarily upon: The Geology of the area; River Profile; Nature of source; Rainfall in catchments; Morphogenetic region; Catchments geomorphology; Efficiency of River/Stream (i.e. erosive power); The competency of the river/Stream (i.e. transport heaviest stone); The capacity of the River/Stream (i.e. volume of transportation); Hydraulic radius of the River/Stream (ratio between cross sectional area and length of wetted

perimeter).

7

Secondarily upon: Geological structures; Porosity of formation; Run off in the catchments; Forest cover;

In addition to above following man made factor’s are also involved. Type of agriculture; Encroachment on flood plain leaving least space for meandering; Any barrier on river/stream bed i.e. bands, dams and bridge foundations etc; Throwing of debris into the river/stream course; Drying up of river courses due to construction of dams, thereby reducing the efficiency and capacity

of the river/stream.

The total potential of the river/stream bed is calculated up to the depth of one meter and in the workablespan. Total potential or annual replenishment is not necessarily mineable. Mine ability depends upon theavailability of approach roads, distance from the general conditions of policy viz distances from WSSSchemes, bridges etc and overall on the market demand etc. Thus keeping these factors intoconsideration 60% of the total potential has been taken for the purpose of exploitation of minor minerals.Method For Calculation of Reserves:-

METHODOLOGY: to calculate reservesOn an average the competency of stream at the point of mining site is 10 to 15 cm x 4 to5 cm

but it is also important to mention here that there is a provision in the river/strem bed mining policyguidelines where collection of material upto a depth of 1 metre is allowed in a single season wheremineral concessions have been granted, and it is noticed that during flood season whole of the pit soexcavated is completely filled up and as such the excavated area is replenished with new harvest ofmineral.In order to calculate the mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineral constituents have beencategorized as clay, silt, sand, bajri and boulder and there average %age is taken into account. It isobserved in different rivers/streams that % age of boulders varies from 30% to 70%, bajri 15 %to40%, sand from 15% to 30% and silt .Only boulder bajri and sand is the resource mineral i.e. usablemineral and rest is taken as the waste. Further the Survey of India Topo-Sheets were used as base mapto know the extent of river course. The mineral reserves have been calculated only upto 1.00 metredepth although there are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and centralislands where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the riverstowards banks and causing cutting cosequently of banks and at such locations, removal of thismaterial upto the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part and to check thebank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub-tributariesof that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits areadding annually to the main river, the mineral deposits will be much more.(lengthxwidthxdepthxspgrvx.6)=X(Xx4/100=replishnment)

Annual ReplishmentThe annual replishment of the material depends up on the discharge, grade of river and geology ofcatchment area. Based on the studies it is inferred/concluded that excavated area will fully be replenishedduring single monsoon. The replishment factor is taken to be 3-7 % of annual production.

5. General Profile of the district

GEOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICT

a. Location: - The district is situated between 31-13-50 and 32-04-30 north latitude and 76-37-20 and77-23-15 east longitude. It is bounded by Kangra on the north-west, Hamirpur & Bilaspur in the west,Arki tehsil of Solan district in the south, Shimla district in the south-west and Kullu district in theeast.

b. Rivers: - The district has 2 main rivers viz. the Beas and the Satluj. The river Beas enters thedistrict from close to Bajaura, at the boundary of Kullu and leaves the district at Sandhol. The Manditown is also located on the banks of this river. For the greater part of it's length, it runs between highbanks and as it is of never great breadth, the current is swift, especially during the rains.Practically the whole of the district drains into the Beas with only the south-east corner situated on theSatluj watershed. Within the district the principal tributaries of the Beas on the north bank are Uhl,Luni, Rana and Binu and on the south bank are the Hanse, Tirthan, Bakhli, Jiuni, Suketi, Ranodi, Sonand Bakar.

LOCATION:Mandi district covers an area of 3950 sq kms and lies in the middle portion of H.P and is bounded inthe north by district Kangra, Kullu in the West .In the south are the districts of Shimla & Solan,Bilaspur in the south West and Hamirpur in the North West.Major part of the district lies in the lesser Himalayan region, which presents the rugged mountainousterrain. The mountains are composed of crystalline, metamorphic and unfosiliferrous sedimentaryrocks of oldest system. Mountains are developed in different stages . Initially a Geosyncline wasformed which was gradually filled up with sediments, after this the Geosynclinal deposits weresubjected to folding and thrusting etc. Finally the Geosynclinal sediments were pushed up gradually toform the mountains. In Mandi district between the steeply rising mountains are the valleys. Bahl,partly Kullu valley lies between he steeply rising mountains which remain mostly under snow formost part of the year. The valleys are the result of age long erosion along the medial part of elevatedtracts. These valleys are known as erosional valleys which have resulted because of glacial and streamerosion. Sutlej, Beas, Uhl and Suketi are the main rivers in the district.

6. LAND UTILIZATION PATTEREN IN THE DISTRICT AGRICULTURE:

The economy of Mandi district is predominately agrarian as around 79 per cent of the total populationis dependent on agriculture and activities allied to it for earning their livelihood. The moistureretention capacity of the area is poor due mainly to the fact the bed rocks are argillaceous and the landthe uneven. The crops usually face moisture stress during the remaining period of the year due toinadequate and irregular rainfall. The irrigation facilities are provided by lifting water from steams,shallow dug wells and medium to deep tube wells in the valley area.

The source of water and irrigation in district Mandi can be classified into following five classes:

1. Lift Irrigation Scheme,2. Kuhls,3. Well used for domestic purposes,4. Well used for irrigation,5. Tube wells!

Major food crops are grouped into three categories:

1. Cereals,2. Pulses,3. Other food crops like Chilies, ginger, sugarcane and turmeric. Non- food crop area is of two kinds:

12

1. Oil seeds,2. Other non-food crops such as cotton, tobacco and fodder crop,

HORTICULTURE:The topography and the agro- climatic conditions of the district are quite suitable for theproduction ofthe various fruits. The topography of the district can be grouped into three categories namely high hillareas located at a higher elevation, mid hill areas and low lying valley areas. Fruits of various kindsdepending upon the terrain, climatic condition and soil are grown in the district. The main horticultureproduce of the area can be classified into following five categories.1. Apple2. Other t:erate fruits3. Subtropical fruits4. Nuts and dry fruits5.

MINERAL WEALTH OF DISTRICT MANDI

Limestone Limestone is a calcareous sedimentary rock composed of mineral calcite (CaCO3) which

upon calcination yields lime (CaO) for commercial use. Cement and Iron & Steel industries are themajor consumers of limestone . It is also consumed in chemical industries like calcium carbide,bleaching powder, soda-ash, precipitated calcium carbonate, etc. Besides, it is used as fluxing materialin ferro-alloys, pelletization plants, foundries and in the production of sponge from iron, as refiningmaterials in the production of sugar; as an additive in glass industry; as a coating material in fertilizersindustry etc. -table-Details of Limestone Reserve ( In Million tonnes)

Mandi district: a) Alsindi Limestone Deposit : Cement grade limestone belonging to the

Sorgharwari Formation of Shali Group occurs between Alsindi (310 17' 45’ : 770 07’45”) in Mandidistrict in the west and Jaunrog (310 18’00” : 77020’30”) in Shimla district in the east. The limestonewas investigated along a strike length of 15 km by the Geological Survey of India. The estimatedreserves are of the order of 550 million tonnes. The limestone has been investigated by theGeological Wing, Department of Industires and has proved about 200 million tonnes of limestone inapproximately 1.5 Sq Km of area. It is pink to grey in colour and contains thin shale partings. The

limestone contains CaO varying from 44.40 to 52.00% and MgO trace to 9.80%. It is situated at a distance of about 70 Km from Shimla ( State Capital) on Shimla- Basantpur –Tattapani-Karsog State Highway No 13. The area forms part of the Lesser Himalaya and showstypical mountainous topography. Physiographically, the area is bounded in the east and south-east byBadeog Dhar and in the south by Rista-Ki-Dhar. The terrain ranges in height between 1200 metres to1992 metres above mean sea level. The drainage pattern is mostly dendritic. The limestone depositsof the area belongs to Sorgharwari Formation of Shali Group which is fine grained, dense,homogeneous and exhibit concoidel to subconcoidel fractures. The colour varies from pink to grey.The pink limestone at places contains purple to green shale partings. -table-

b. Rock Salt:a) Mandi district The rock salt occurs in Guma ( 31° 58’:76°51’) and Drang ( 31° 46’: 76° 56’) areas. The total

reserves of rock salt are about 75 million tonnes. Chemical anaysis indicates on an average insolubleimpurities 21%, KCL 3 % and NaCl about 70.40% and the rest consisting of CaO, CaSO4and MgO.Detailed geological work and drilling has been carried out to assess the grade and reserves. Drillingdata shows that except for minor intercalation of non productive beds(clay, quartzite, etc.) the coresare composed of salt throughout the area investigated.Chemical analyses show that the average saltcontent is over 70% and with depth no regular change in the salt content is indicated. Besides Drang,saline grits occur intermitently in discontinuous patches over a linear distance of 18 kms northwest ofMandi The important occurrences of this salt grit are; Megal (31°45’: 76°57'), Drang, 9310 480 20”;760 570 00”) Herkalan (31° 56’: 76° 52’),Guma (31° 56’: 76° 51’), Dewalkhas (32° 05’: 76° 40’)andKandbad (32° 071: 75° 35’).

i) Drang -Gumma Rock Salt deposit Rock Salt has been extracted since long in Mandi hills at two locations namely Drang and

Gumma. These mines were transferred to M/s Hindustan Salts Ltd. in 1963, after acquiring these fromerstwhile Mandi State by Govt. of India. Mandi Salt belt extends from Mandi to Jogindernagar andeven further but three places viz. Megal, Drang and Gumma where Salt is known to occur, lie along

25

N.H.-20. Drang is at a distance of about 40 Kms.from Jogindernagar and about 17 kms. ahead ofMandi. Geographical location of Drang which is included in Topo-Sheet No. 53A/13 is as follows:

Latitude 310 480 20”Longitude 760 570 00”

Drang can be approached from Pathankot by National Highway, connecting Pathankot with Mandi viaShahpur, Palampur, baijnath and Jogindernagar. Jogindernagar is also connected by a narrow gaugerailway with Pathankot.Physiography

The area forms a transitional zone between the foothills and the lesser Himalaya. Thealtitude varies from 1000 to 1400 m above M.S.L. The ridges trending in NW-SE direction are themain topographical features and these are dissected by nallahs which on joining each other form thetributary of river Beas flowing in NW-SE direction.

c. Slate Slate is a fine grained, hard, compact, cleavable rock derived from microcrystalline

metamorphic rocks of clays and shale and possesses a cleavage that permits it to split readily into thinsmooth sheets. The thin layers split along the cleavage planes may cut across bedding planes. Themetamorphism of shale by pressure produce slates which are characterized by the presence of close-set planes of cleavage along which they can be split easily into thin sheets. The cleavage plane isrelated to the direction of pressure to which the material was subjected and not to the bedding plane.Slate has emerged as an alternative to granite and marble which are comparatively costly. Slate hasthe aesthetic value like other dimension stones i.e granite and marble. Slate is cut and fabricated intodimensional form. Slate is categorized into minor and major minerals in the country depending on itsend use. The slate industry has received a boost in recent years due to increased interest inarchitecture. The export of slate has increased, over the years. The major use of slate in foreignmarkets is in roofing tile, but other uses as flooring tile and cladding are also picking up. Occurrences

Himachal Pradesh is known in the country for its good quality of slate, which find place inforeign market also because of its pleasing colour, durability and uniformity in thickness. The art ofextraction of slates is known to the local people of the area since generation . The good quality thickbands of slates occur in Mandi.Slates are confined to Kullu Group, Shimla Formation, ChambaFormation, Jaunsaur Formation & Katargali Formation.

d. Asbestos Mandi District:

The highly weathered basaltic rocks of Darla volcanics exposed along the right bank of asmall nala flowing between Ardhi and Badsar contain very thin fibres of asbestos.

e. Clays Clay occurrences in Himachal Pradesh can be broadly classified into (i) lacustrine

and fluvial, (ii) residual associated with granite and (iii) associated with the Middle and UpperSiwaliks.Mandi district:

Small irregular pockets and lenses of clay are found within the weathered muscovite granite,tourmaline -muscovite granite, porphyritic granite and pegmatite of Mandi -Karsog granite complex atMohi (31° 35':76° 55' ), Seri Chak (31° 06' 54": 76° 55' 45"), Seul (31° 40’ 36": 76° 55' 36"), SaulKhad (31° 40’28': 76° 53J’27"), Dhalar (31° 35' 24": 76° 55' 30"), Batala Beh (31° 15’50": 77°13’20"), Karsog (31° 23' 00": 77° 12' 00"), Chichot (31° 33’ 00": 77°01’00"), Garaich (31° 24'30":77° 14’45”), Negi Nal (31°26' 00': 77° 11’ 00”), Bashaich (31° 26’15”: 77° 13' 30"), Phaish (31° 27’00": 77° 05’15"), Tarai (310 35’09”: 76° 59’56"), Dopha (31° 31’ 33": 77° 01’ 22"), Nid (31° 32'20";77°01’00"), Oangthar (31° 32’37": 77° 06’15'). Seri,(30° 36' 55": 77° 00’06"), Raipri (31° 37' 34":77° 00' 30'), Burahata (31° 36' 09": 77° 01’59"), Balhari (31039' 03": 77° 00’45”, Pingla (31° 35’ 16";770 01’ 23"), Rakbnun (31° 47' 30": 77° 17’30”), Tarapur (31° 38' 00": 76° 59’37"), Kohlu, Dalikar(31° 37’38” 77° 01’00"), and Rackchui (31° 39’05': 76° 59' 43").

The clay pockets in the above areas range in length from 10 metres to 220metres and only the clay pocket at Phaish extends for about one kilometres. The width of the claypockets varies from one metre to 1040 metres

Physical tests of the clay samples from Garaich and Negi Nal have revealed that the clay issuitable for the manufacture of stoneware.

The cummulative reserves of clay pockets at Karsog, Chichot, Batala-Beli,Garaich, Negi nal, Bashaich and Phaish have been estimated at 1, 05,330 tonnes.The tentative reserves of the clay pockets at Tarai, Dopha and Nid are of the order of 5, 14,400,17,172.02 and 17,714 tonnes, respectively.

The clay from all the aforementioned pockets is used by the local inhabitants for whitewashing and plastering of their houses.

f. Coal Mandi district: A carbonaceous horizon is traceable for about 90 metres near Mansai (31° 34/: 76° 51'). There isanother 91 centimetres thick seam traceable for 45m, 750m to the south of the earlier one. A coalseam near Dehar (31° 251: 76° 491) crops out in and near the steep right bank of Sutlej river about280m upstream of the suspension bridge. The carbonaceous horizon is interbeded with limestone withalmost vertical dips. Two carbonaceous seams, 180cm and 90cm thick could be traced for a distanceof about 90m.Small discontinuous patches of coal outcrops are noted near Kaphai (31° 32’:76° 51’). An outcrop of coal is seen on the right bank of a small stream about600m southeast of Arthi (31° 32’: 76° 52’). The coal is sheared and stained dullgreyish yellow, rusty on the surface.

g. Gold

District Mandi Small Quantity of Gold had been reported in the bed of Satluj river at Jauri ( 310 19’ N -77

002’ E). The detail analysis of the area between Dharampur & Sarkaghat (lying between 310 41’ N

27

& 310 52’ N -76039’ & 76047’ E) shows poor concentration of Gold value ranging less than 20 ppbto 100 ppb.Flakes of Gold are frequently seen in the sediments of the Sun and Alian Khads, particularly betweenHukal and Kandewale and average concentration is < 6 ppb to 20 ppb.

h. Iron Ore Mandi District Magnetite associated with hematite occurs in schist and phyllite in a belt extending intermittentlyfrom Rama Bhet (310 3’1: 77006’) upto the vicinity of Sangalwaro (310 30’: 770 13’). Sparselydisseminated magnetite and hematite occur around Jhungi (310 25’ : 770 06') in the phyllites.Magnetite occurs as disseminated grains in quartzite and as concentration in thin bands near KoharKhas (320 06': 760 48'). The iron bearing quartzites have been traced from about one and a halfkilometres north of Baragoran(320 05’: 760 00') to Multhan (310 031 : 760 05).

i. Mineral water Mandi district: Ten springs occur on the right bank of the Satluj river near Tattapani (31° 14: 77°50’). The temperature of water is 57°0. The water is strongly sulphurous with a disagreeable salinetaste. It contains chloride and sulphate of soda.

General Recommendations:

The part of river/stream beds recommended for grant of mineral concessions in this report are based

on studies of Topo Sheets of Survey of India in consultant with Mining Officer, Mandi, however

before grant of any mineral concession in a particular river/stream bed, the guidelines contained in

River/Stream bed mining policy are to be followed in addition to site specific conditions as specified

bv the Joint Inspection Committee and recommendation thereof. In the ibid Policy Guidelines,

following general conditions are mentioned.1 No River/Stream bed mining shall be allowed without the recommendations of the Sub-

Divisional Level Committee.

2 No River/Stream bed mining shall be allowed without getting clearance under Forest

Conservation Act, 1980 if the area attracts the provisions of FCA. 1980.

3 No River/Stream bed mining shall be allowed within 75 meters from the periphery of soil

conservation works, nursery plantation, and check dams or within the distance as

recommended by the Sub-Divisional Committee, which ever is more.

4 No River/Stream bed mining shall be allowed within 1/5th of its span or 5 meters from the

bank or as specified by the Sub-Divisional Committee which ever more is.

5 No River/Stream bed mining shall be allowed within 200 meters U/S and D/S of Water

Supply Scheme or the distance as specified by the Sub- Divisional Committee which ever is

more.

6 No River/Stream bed mining shall be allowed within 200 meters U/S and 200 to 500 mts D/S

of bridges depending upon the site-specific conditions.

7 No approach road from PWD road shall be allowed to River/Stream beds mining, unless

lessee/contractor obtains written permission from XEN PWD for making road leading to all

intake places from the PWD Roads.

8 No mechanical mining through mechanical excavator including any other earth moving

machines like JCB, Bouldozer, Pocklain, Loders etc shall be carried out in river or stream

Bed by the lease holder or permit holder or contractor as the case may be.

9 No boulder/cobbles/hand broken road ballast shall be allowed to be transported outside the

State from River/Stream beds, so as to reduce pressure on the River/Stream beds.

10 No digging of more than 3 feet shall be allowed in River/Stream beds.

11 Every leaseholder shall supply in advance, the Registration Nos of vehicle engaged in

transportation of mineral from mining area to his industrial unit. This would ensure checking

of illegal vehicles carrying minerals.

12 Every lessee/contractor shall ensure that his labour does not involve in fish poaching.

13. No blasting shall be allowed in river/stream beds.

98

General Conditions:

1 Some of the rivers/streams or portion of rivers/streams have been prohibitited for

grant of mineral concession. In such portions if any person applies for open sale of mineral the mining

lease for open sale may be granted in private lands to meet out the local demands or any exigency

subject to the approval from the joint Inspection Committee.

2 In certain stretches of river/streams, islands are developed which are undesirable

and causes cutting of banks. In such places i.e. central islands etc. mining can be done more than one

meter in rare and exceptional circumstances after a detailed study.

3 The possibility for conducting the auction of river/stream bed as one unit where

the same are forming inter District boundary should be explored for the rivers flowing through the

boundary of two districts.

4 The auction shall be done as per the recommendation /approval of the Sub-

Divisional Level Committee.

5 It is recommended that mining leases of more than 20 Hect lease area in river bed

should be discouraged and priority may be given to local residents with small applied for areas so that

maximum no. of local people could be accommodated and employment may be generated

accordingly.
