Address of the applicant M/s Illahi Cement Industries

Village – Industrial Area, Anchidora (Azadpora)

Tehsil & District – Anantnag J&K-192101 Mobile No. - 9419041003 B. Brief Description of Nature of Project The project is for the mining of mineral Limestone. Proposed method of Mining will be mechanized opencast with drilling and blasting. For the systematic working of opencast mines, benching will be done. The height of bench will not be kept more than 6.0m at a time and the width of benches will always be more than the height. Total excavated area 90.1 hectare during the conceptual phase of mine. C. Need for the Project & Importance to the Country The mining project falls in the Anantnag Tehsil and District of J&K. The mineral limestone is proposed to be used as captive use for cement manufacturing in the vicinity or sold to prospective buyers. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on handicraft and agriculture also on trade & others. Stone based handicraft is most popular along with textile based, wooden based, leather based handicraft. The upcoming project will bestow various increased social & economic benefits to the local communities and improvements in physical and social infrastructure of the area, apart from increased financial benefits to state govt. by way of taxes royalties & tax etc. D. Demand and supply gap The area is having large reserves of limestone. The demand for the minerals has been steadily increasing over the years. Presently these materials have been used for hydrated lime manufacturing purpose. However, no any cement industry has been setup in the area. In such backward area, cement plant setup will grow economic conditions of local so supply of mineral limestone is required to be meet with demand of the product, the prospect of industries is very good. The physical properties of Limestone are: Mineralogy The average quality of entire limestone of the area is given in the table below: -

b) Middle ( Calcareous & Argillaceous)

c) Lower ( Siliceous & Calcareous)

4. Zewan series-Bottom argillaceous top calcareous Permain

5. Panjal traps Permocarboniferous

Karewas:

Karewas are lacustrine deposits comprising of alternate bands of clays, loose sands silt and

pebbles/ gravels at places. The Karewas merge with talus and scree material at the foot of

hill ranges. At places Karewas form huge plateau dissected by few nala cutting.

Triassics:

Triassic formation generally comprise of limestone with few argillaceous with siliceous

interbeddings in the lower and middle division of the formations. These formations form

the bulk of rock exposures over the hills surrounding the Sandram valley and Bringee

valley.

Zewans:

Zewan formation is the rock collection of limestone, shales, and siliceous rocks chacterised

by typical fossil concentrations. It is confined a small out crop towards jawahar tunnel

lying over Panjal traps.

Panjal Traps:

Panjal traps are huge andesitic and basaltic lava flows forming the core of Pir panjal ranges

on which rest zewans and triassics.

The exposure forming the NE limb of anticline are further thrown into secondary folds,

sometimes over turned. The folds are usually faulted along axis. The generalized strike of

the formation (NW-SE) varies from place to place due to flexuring of bands.

E. Export Possibility Since the produced mineral will be absorbed in the cement unit to be setup in the area so it will not be exported. F. Domestic/Export Markets The mine is meant for captive use only thus there is no requirement of selling of the mineral in export markets. G. Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project Because of large-scale mining proposals, employment generation of the area will be significant. Depending on the requirement of mining work and also as per statutory requirement of acts and rules sufficient supervisory, skilled and unskilled person will be employed at the mine to run the mine systematically and safely to raise the targeted production.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Type of Project including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, if any There is no interlinked or interdependent project of this mine. No other allied activities i.e. washing of minerals, beneficiation etc. will be carried within the periphery of this project. B. Location (map showing general location, specific location and project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates. The area comprises of an area of 115.33 hectare and is located near village Chak-Ishar-Dass of Anantnag Tehsil & District of J&K. Public Road: The village Devipora Chak-Ishar-Dass lies about 0.5km from the area. The area is connected with national highway 1B at Anantnag, district HQ, 10km away from the area. State capital is at 55 km. Railway Line: Nearest railway station is Anantnag which is located at a distance of about 10 km from applied area. Air Port: The nearest air port is Kashmir at about 55 km.

(C) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration gone into should be highlighted. As the project is mineral specific and the LOI was issued for excavating the mineral limestone at the specific location near village Chak-Ishar-Dass, thus no alternate site was considered.

D. Size and Magnitude of Operation Proposal of production mineral Limestone at 178020 TPA using the opencast mechanized mining methods with drilling and blasting. E. Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given) The project is for mineral limestone and the area comprises of 115.33hectare and as per revenue records is Govt. wasteland. The mining will be done by mechanized opencast method with drilling and blasting. Drilling of the holes will be by compressed air operated drill machine. The working will be done by forming systematically benches of 6.0mts average height in mineral and width of the benches will be always more than the height. The Blasting will be carried out as per Rules and will be done with all the safety measures. The explosive shall be handled by the applicant as per explosive rules and blasting will be done by the competent persons. Storage is required for explosive at the site. Special precaution will be taken for the fly rock problem. All the adequate precaution as per provision MMR 1961 will be taken. At the end of the life of the mine total excavated area will be 90.1 hectare. No backfilling is proposed for want of waste material.
