1e) Due to commendable work and study by the Ministry Environment & Forest Department and State Board for Wildlife, of the Government of Karnataka considered that it is necessary to declare the area as a Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary in the view of the following aspects:

---

1f) Chincholi Forests are the areas where the natural environment can easily be affected or harmed which needs the special protection. The unique features of this forest deserve to define it as ecologically sensitive zone area. Further, as the area is also having growth of ecological tree species, and vulnerable even to mild disturbances and the area demands careful management. Thus the Chincholi Forest area is considered to be an ecologically and economically important. The list of flora and fauna of the area suggests that, this area is ecologically rich, Valuable and Unique irreplaceable if destroyed.

For existing production facility, the company has provided latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from Plant & Mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment. For the proposed expansion also, all pollution control measures and the practices will be extended. Cumulative impact of existing industries, proposed new industries and the proposed expansion activity of Chettinad Cement on the said sanctuary has been analysed (Page 4.9 of Chapter 4 in the Final EIA Report) and the resultant concentrations of pollutants like Particulate Matter, SO2, NOx and CO have been found to be far lower than the norms prescribed. Hence, the impact of proposed expansion activities on the Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary is very insignificant as it is located 5.8 Km from the plant and 3.2.km from mine boundary and 4.6 km from the current mining pit. Please refer Chapter 4 of Final EIA Report and Biological Report included as Annexure-18 in the Final EIA Report.

1h) Chincholi Forest area is an area having rich natural forest cover having canopy cover about 0.40%. This is the only area in North Karnataka especially rather in the entire Hyderabad , Karnataka Region comprising many of the features that of Western Ghats.

---

1i) The Chincholi Reserve Forest is having natural environment, ecology, flora & fauna. It is having its own geomorphological importance. It is most Ecologically sentitive Zone. Having Fauna wild life containing Black Buck, Common Fox, Four Horned Antelope, Fruit Bat, Hyena, Indian Wolf, Panther, Wild Bore, Bears. Floral Species like Anogessus Latifolia , Chloroxylon, Bosweelia, Serrat and Madhuca Indica, sandalwood, teakwood, tamarind, bamboos are available in plenty here. The birds of 35 different varieties inhabitate the forest Peacocks, parrots, Blue Pigeon, black Drongo, Black winged Kite, Blossom-Headed Parakeet, Black Heads Oriole, Grey partridge are also found in the region. They are all invaluable and diverse.

1j). Due to biotic and climatic intervention, there is a threat of degradation of rich natural forest and thereby may cause threat to the Wildlife of the area. Hence, there is a need and also it is our bounden duty to conserve this precious and irreplaceable unique wealth given by our nature.

For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment.

For the proposed expansion also, all the pollution control measures and the practices will be extended.

The cumulative impact of existing industries, proposed new industries and the proposed expansion activity of Chettinad Cement on the said sanctuary has been analysed (Page 4.9 of Chapter 4 in the Final EIA Report) and the resultant concentrations of pollutants like particulate matter, SO2, NOx and CO have been found to be far lower than the norms prescribed.

Hence, the impact of proposed expansion activities on the Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary is very insignificant as it is located 5.8 Km from the plant and 3.2.km from mine boundary and 4.6 km from the current mining pit. Pl refer Chapter 4 of Final EIA Report and the Biological Report included in the Final EIA Report As Annexure 18

1n) This being so, in gross violation of The Forest (Protection) Act-1980, The Environment (Protection) Act-1986 and the order of Honb’e Supreme Court, the said Cements Ltd., has been established in the villages of Kallur & Sangam (K) without obtaining necessary clearance from the Central Empowerment Committee (CEC), National board for Wildlife & State Board for Wildlife. It is brought to your kind notice that the said Cements Ltd, is at distance of 4.6 KM from the Somalingadalli Reserve Forest, which forest is spread on an area of 489.52 Ha, which in turn comes in the total area of 13488.31 Ha. declared by the State Government as Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary. Obviously, it is established within the perimeter of prohibited 10 KM from Wild life Sanctuary in gross violation of the guidelines for declaration of eco sensitive zones around National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, set by the Indian board for wildlife and Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India. The copy of the guidelines for declaration of Eco-sensitive zones for national parks and wildlife sanctuary framed by the Ministry of Environment of Forests (wildlife division), Government of India is annexed herewith.

At the time of execution of the project, there was no Wildlife Sanctuary within 10 km radius from the project site. On 21st Feb ‘12, the Forest Department , Gulbarga advised us to contribute Rs 250 lakhs for carrying out conservation measures like Soil and Moisture Conservation (SMC) measures, Forest Fire Control measures like maintenance of fire lines, deployment of fire watchers, running of two numbers of fire patrolling camps and greenbelt plantation etc. Accordingly, we have spent Rs 22.0 lakhs ( during Mar ’12 : 2.75 lakhs, May ’12 :Rs 3.14 lakhs, Jun ’12 :2.75 lakhs, Mar ’13 : Rs 13.36 lakhs) for implementing the conservation measures mentioned above. Subsequently, on 8th Jan ’13 the Forest Department, Gulbarga again advised us to contribute Rs 56.8 lakhs for the purpose of afforestation in unclassified forests, which is to be spent over a period of 6 Years. The same has been accepted by us. Then, an amount of Rs 12.96 lakhs has been spent towards during Feb ‘14 for implementing various conservation measures inside wildlife sanctuary. The balance amount of Rs 215.04 lakhs will be spent as indicated by the Forest Department, Gulbarga for implementing conservation measures in the wildlife sanctuary in the coming years and Rs 56.8 lakhs will be spent for afforestation in unclassified forest. Further, for the proposed project expansion and for getting NBWL Clearance an application was submitted to Forest Department, Gulbarga which is under process.

1o) It is humbly submitted that in the case of T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpada V/s. Union in its orders dated: 12-12-1996 & 14-12-2006, the above facts of eco sensitive zone around National Parks and wildlife Sanctuaries has been established unequivocally. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had given clear cut directions to Central Government and all State Government’s to refrain from granting permission for establishing the industries / quarrying etc. i.e. non-forest activity or any extension of the industry, within the prohibited 10 KM perimeter eco sensitive area (zone), around the National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuary. Further, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has directed, vide their order dated: 04-12-2006, Ministry of Environment & Forests to give a final opportunity to all States/ Union Territories to refer the cases of Environmental Clearances, to the Standing Committee of National board for Wildlife.

MoEF has laid down guidelines for the proposals to get the recommendations of Standing Committee of State Board for Wildlife and for getting the clearance from the Standing Committee of National Board for Wildlife. Accordingly , the application submitted for the Chettinad Cement’s proposal is under process. Copy of the application submitted to the concerned authority with the acknowledgment is included in the Final EIA Report as Annexure 8 (b)

1p) It is disheartening to note that said Chettinad Cements Corporation Ltd., has obtained Clearance Certificate from Ministry of Environment and Forests of both Government of India and Government of Karnataka.

Environmental Clearance from MoEF & Consent Orders from KSPCB have been obtained by complying with the rules and regulations.

1q) It is worth mentioning here about the venture of Harish Cements, in district of Mandi, State of Himachal Pradesh (H.P.). The Hon’ble High Court of H.P. has quashed the Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) issued by H.P. Government to Harish Cements. Because the said Harish Cement plant established within 6 KM prohibited eco sensitive area of the Bandi wildlife Sanctuary. So also, is the case of Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, situated in the State of Goa, by its Hon’ble High Court. The copies of the judgment of Hon’ble High Court of H.P. is annexed herewith.

It is understood from the High Court Order that the Environmental Clearance was cancelled due to non-conducting of Public Hearing and the mining lands involved Forest Land.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

1r) Now, M/s. Chettinad Cements Corporation Ltd., Chincholi, is planning to expand its activity two fold. It intends to increase its cement production from 2.5 MTPA to 8.25 MTPA, its power generation capacity by power plant from 30 MW to 160 Mw, its quarrying / mining capacity from 4 MTPA to 10 MTPA. It will be gross violation of the Forest Protection Acts & Rules 1980. The Environment Protection Act-1986 and the order of Hon’ble Supreme court dt: 04.12.2006 directed the Ministry of Environment & forests to all States / Union territories referred above. Hence, the permission should not be granted to the company of its expansion, rather its earlier license i.e. Environment Clearance Certificate issued by MoEF Government of India should be annulled.





01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

2a) The river by name Mullameri or earlier called as Amrut Dhare, is the Lifeline river of Chincholi taluka. Indeed, it is nectar trickling river. It passes through the villages of Kallur Gargapalli, Bhaktampalli, Sangam(K), Ganganpalli, Ganapur etc. in and around the said Chettinad Cements Ltd. Its water is utilized for irrigation of Agriculture, Horticulture and other purposes like drinking etc, by more than 20,000 people. It is the only source of water for them. The river is situated at about 1 KM south from the said Chettinad Cements Ltd. It is also worth to note that the said Chettinad Cements Ltd. , also extracts water for its production, construction and for daily uses from this river.

No water is drawn from the Mullameri river. Water required for existing plant is 900 m3/day and same is sourced from Ground water source within the existing premises. Permission from CGWA has been obtained for 900 m3/day. In fact, company made adequate rainwater harvesting arrangement infrastructure in the existing plant to improve the ground water table. For the proposed expansion, water required will be sourced from Ground water & Mullameri river. Water from Mullameri river/Groundwater will be extracted only after taking necessary approval from concerned departments

2b) However, due to the waste oil and effluents poured out by the said Chettinad Cements, the entire ecology of the said river is jeopardized. Entire water is being polluted, which is increasing day by day in exponential manner. Because of which entire Wildlife is on the edge of extinction. The human life is prone to various diseases. Also, entire agriculture and the irrigation is at high risk. The scarcity of water is felt by one and all. The farming is endangered.

No effluent, either industrial or domestic effluent, is discharged from the premises. All effluents are treated and reused within the plant. for greenbelt development, dust suppression and ash conditioning. Zero Discharge System is being followed in existing plant and same will be implemented in the expansion project also. Hence , there will not be any significant impact on agriculture, health, flora and fauna as no waste water is discharged from the premises.

3a) It is worth to note that to meet its day to day water requirements said Chettinad Cements Ltd has obtained permission for digging 8 bore wells from the senior Geologist, Ground Water Department and Zilla Panchayat Gulbarga. As per the provisions of the Environmental protection Act-1986, R/W. The Environmental impact assessment Rules, the water to be extracted from the bore well or from the underground water source, is limited to 900 m3/day.

The CGWA approval has been obtained for drawl of 900 m3 of ground water per day and based on the approval 9 borewells have been put.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

(contd)

3b) However, the said Chettinad Cements company has dug more than 200-300 bore-wells, which is so offensive extracting around 3000-4000 m3/day. It is causing irreversible damage to the ecology of the Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary & Reserve Forest in gross violation of the provisions of Water Protection Act-1974 and the Environmental impact assessment Rules. It is clear cut case of looting the natural resources, to meet their dubious ends. They have not incorporated the water meters and do not note down the water used. Hence, you are requested to conduct spot inspection in this regard and assess the environmental impact of the same, around 20-30 villages and around 20,000 population is deprived of the right to use the underground water. The said Chettinad Cements Ltd., has no checks and balances and is a free bird to loot the natural resources. Your goodself is requested to take harsh measures to check the same.

The maximum water requirement per day for the existing plant is only 900 m3.There is no need of 3000 or 4000 m3 of water per day as alleged by the complainant. Water readings from the water flow meters provided are used to arrive at water consumption details and the same are submitted to KSPCB in the form of water –cess returns every month. Only 9 borewells have been put based on the approval from CGWA.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

4a) The emission of the Cements Limited is also very dangerous, which needs serious attention. Its power plant and cement production unit are the main contributors. The coal mill , captive power plant emit the poisonous gases like SO2, NO2 & CO2 apart from pyrites and fluoride the ash and the waste heat emitted from the boiler, contributes too increase of the environmental temperature, causing ecological imbalance. This is causing health hazards. The population in and around the said Chettinad Cements Ltd., is suffering from TB, asthma, cancer, bronchitis etc. Many of the causes are Reported in District General Hospital at Gulbarga. The matter was discussed in Lok Adalat held on 03-09-2013 at Gulbarga, in which the District Health & Family Welfare officer has expressed his opinion and made all present, aware of the situation. The high calorific hazardous waste and the mercury (Hg) cause fatal breathing problems, infertility, TB, Thyroid.

For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. There will not be any significant increase in the ambient temperature due to boiler operation as effective insulation is provided to ensure efficient operation of the boiler. Environmental Monitoring Report of the Plant and Mine have been included in Final EIA Report, where it can be seen that all the parameters are within the norms prescribed. No high calorific hazardous waste is used. Only on getting the permission from CPCB and KSPCB, the hazardous wastes will be used. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment or health. For the proposed expansion also, all the pollution control measures and the practices will be extended.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168 (contd)

4b) The agriculture is the most affected one of it all. The ash and the emission is affecting the crops and standing trees. They are prone to poisonous gases like SO2, NO2 & CO2, PM10 SPM etc. The oozing of mercury (Hg) into the environment is causing high damages to the standing crops and trees and other flora and wildlife Sanctuary’s Reserve Forest. The most affected one is the Horticulture.

For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms.

Environmental Monitoring Report of the plant and mine were enclosed in Final EIA Report (Annexure-13) where it can be seen that all the parameters are within the norms prescribed.

Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on agricultural activity.

There is no emission of Hg from Cement Process or from Power generation.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

4c) It is brought to your notice that in addition to the already existing Chettinad Cements the Vikatsagar Cements Limited is also in operation in the same area at about 2 KM. Apart from these two Cements companies 4 other Cement companies by names Penna Cements, CCI Cements, Coromandal Cements, Visakha Cements are also working in its nearby vicinity in Andhra Pradesh State, which are situated within perimeter of about 10 KM. The combined effect all the 6 is much indulging in all illegal activities detrimental to National interest and in gross violation of the provisions of air pollution control Act-1981 and the environmental protection Act-1986.

The cumulative impact of existing industries and proposed new industries within 10 km and the proposed expansion of Chettinad Cement has been assessed and provided in the Final EIA Report (Page 4.9 of Chapter 4 in the Final EIA Report) , which shows that cumulative impact of all the industries put together is within the allowed norms and there will not be any significant impact on surrounding environment.

4d) It is brought to your kind notice that the solid waste (Non-hazardous) like the waste limestone is being dumped in the nearby vicinity of the Cement Factory to be specific in the Government Pastures (Gomala). This is causing hindrance for grazing the bovine and milking animals. Almost no space is left by now, for grazing the cows, buffaloes, sheep etc, in gross violation of Sec.97 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. The dairy industry and the farmers are depending on such evocation are prone to great risk rather their employment has been snatched. This is in gross violation of the environmental impact assessment Rules.

There is no waste limestone generated from mining operations. The Fly Ash generated is reused in the cement manufacturing. The Bottom Ash generated is used for various purposes inside the plant premises. Please refer Page.10.23 of Chapter 10 in Final EIA Report for the details of Ash Generation and its Utilization Plan. There will not be any impact on cattle as claimed as the solid wastes generated are used in the plant itself or disposed off as per guidelines stipulated by the authorities.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

(contd)

5a) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited is taking up extensive quarrying with the help of modern technology and the equipments, using high capacity dynamites. Because of which the unbearable noise of 140 DBA (Decibel) is created in the atmosphere. This is a very big noise, causing air pollution, exceeding the permitted limits of 75 to 85 DBA. The impact of explosion of the high capacity dynamites, is felt up to 20 KM around it. The ground vibration is damaging the residential houses of poor farmer. In fact, many of the houses have fallen down due to acute vibration. The company cares least about it and has taken no measures to control it. The ecology has lost its balance and the human and animal habitat is unable to bear it. It is causing great trouble in day to day life. It is again brought to your kind notice that this is in fact happening in the area of Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary and Reserve Forest Area.

The blasting procedure followed is in line the guidelines of Directorate of Mines Safety. The noise levels are being monitored by recognized agency regularly during the day time and night time. . The results of ambient noise levels for the past six months are shown Environmental Monitoring Report attached in Final EIA Report (Annexure 13) which clearly shows that the noise levels are below the allowed norm. Blasting Procedure followed for Mining

• Blast holes are fired with Electric detonators & Detonation Fuse adopting Trunk Line Detonation system .

• This system allows only one hole i.e. 80 kg, a fraction of the total explosives to blast at a point of time which minimizes boulder generation, frequent toe occurrence, fly rock generation

• As per the numerical estimation done with 400 kg charge per delay, the peak particle velocity calculated at a distance of 500m is only 4.5 mm/sec, which is within the permissible limits prescribed by DGMS as 10 mm/sec

• Water spray is provided for the control of air emissions during blasting.

5b) The company is run round the clock and its machineries spill out very big noise, causing annoyance to the Wildlife of Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

6a) The heavy machinery vehicles and goods vehicles meant for transportation of raw material and finished product are numbering about 600 to 800 per day. The Rural villages roads are designed for movement of 15-20 Ton vehicles. They are laid under Pradhkanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), PWD and Zilla Panchayat. But the said Chettinad cements Ltd, weigh about 80 to 100 tons. Their movement has damaged all the rural roads, causing loss of about 100 to 150 Crores to Government Exchequer. The photo & video of the road are annexed.

The average number of trucks coming to the

plant are 150 and not 600 or 800 as claimed.

Only 20 -40 ton capacity trucks are being used

for transporting materials and not 80 to 100 ton

trucks.

Even before the establishment of the first unit of

Chettinad Cement at Sangem (K) & Kallur

villages, the road conditions were very bad.

In 2010-2011, even our light vehicles coming from

Chincholi to plant, were taking one hour for a

distance of 12 kms and from Karnataka Border

(Miryan) to our plant it was taking one hour for a

distance of 10 kms.

Now in 2012-13, there is a considerable

improvement in the road condition. As far as the

nearby National Highways are concerned, the

laying of road work by National Highway

Authority of India (NHAI) is under progress.

As a part of CSR activities, the company has taken up repairing of roads in the nearby villages. PUC certificates are available for the trucks engaged by Chettinad Cement. Without RTO registration, no truck will be allowed inside the the premises.

6b) The damage to roads has hindered the vehicle movements of private persons and the State Road Transport Corporation Buses. The rural transport system is in doldrums. Emission testing of the vehicles meant for said Chettinad cements is not performed. About 200 to 300 of such vehicles are not registered with RTO, in gross violation of traffic rules.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

(contd)

6c) In particular, it is humbly submitted that a railway line is being laid by the said Chettinad Cements Limited., between Ganapur and its Unit site. It is being done, without conducting the survey. The natural flow of water is being blocked, as the railway line being laid without constructing the under bridges. Aqua ducts and other structures at appropriate places. Also, the approached roads to the villages of Ganapur, Kallur, Garagpali, Bhaktampalli, Nidagunda, Buragpalli have been blocked, creating many transport problems to the villagers. All the laws relating to the Indian motor vehicle Act have been thrown to wind. The specified unloaded, loaded and laden weights are no importance for the said Chettinad company. None of the Authorities of RTO or the concerned Police are controlling it. Rather, they are hand in gloves with the said Chettinad Cement Company.

The proposed railway line will start at CCI Tandur Take Off Point and cross through the villages viz., Gunthabaspalli, Mittabasupalli, Malkapur and Sangem Muktha to reach Chettinad Cement Plant and not as mentioned by complainant. In-principal Clearance for the proposed railway line has been obtained. As the laying of railway line will be carried out as per the approved plan by Railway Department with regular inspection by Railway Authorities, there will not be any hindrance to the public on account of laying of railway line and no water flow will be blocked.

7b) It is in gross violation of Sarojini Mahishi Report of Karnataka State, which recommends the jobs of 85% in any Industrial unit to the localities.

The total employee strength is 311. Out of this, 250 employees are from local, which is around 80 %.

7c) The company has no regards for SC/ST community. None of such eligible candidates are employed by it.

If local youth is having required qualification /skills/ experience for a particular vacancy in the plant or mine, then preference will be given to that local for the job.

8a) The company has utterly failed in keeping its promises, made in the Public Meeting convened on 30.12.2009. All its promises of overall development of the area, and about reserving the special funds for it, have gone to dust bin.

Towards CSR Rs 1.5 crores per annum has been allocated and the details of actual expenditure and the purpose for which the expenditure is made are submitted regularly to the District Collector. The details of CSR Activities carried out so far have also been presented during the public hearing.




01, 02, 05, 19, 166, 167 & 168

(contd)

8b) It is pertinent to note that, one of the conditions of the Environmental Clearance Certificate issued by State as well as Central Pollution Boards, is that the 5% of total scheme budget should be utilized for Corporate Social Responsibilities. It is a mandatory provision, but the said Chettinad Cements has utterly failed to implement it.


8c) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited ,thus has least concern for the Corporate Social Responsibility, Environmental impact Assessment and the Environmental Management Plan. Not a single Gram Sabha / Ward Sabha were conducted and parlors held with the localities and the elected representatives. Neither the roads nor potable water supply, nor the health care centers nor the Wildlife Protection Centers nor the schemes and programmes for development of the forest & Ecology have been established by the said Chettinad Cements ltd, in fact, all these schemes have been planned for next 30 years, which is a prolonged period, having no use for the locality.

Towards CSR Rs 1.5 crores per annum has been allocated and the details of actual expenditure and the purpose for which the expenditure is made are submitted regularly to the District Collector. The details of CSR Activities carried out so far have also been presented during the public hearing. Under three heads viz., Health, Education & Infrastructure, various welfare measures like road laying, free medical camps, drinking water supply , providing toilet facilities etc., are being carried out.

9) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited , is mining the sand from the Mullameri River bed and from other Government lands, without getting proper permission from PWD and the department of Mines & Minerals. The sand is being mined and transported to its unit for constructing roads and buildings. This illegal mining has created scarcity of sand for general public, apart from ecological imbalance in the area.

We have not received any information and action

against our above referred letter. Because of this

reason, the management doesn’t have a proper

administration. The Chettinad Cement factory

acquired lands not from farmers but through

different agents at low rates with a minimum

difference of Rs.2.50 lakhs to a maximum of Rs.5.05

lakhs. During the land registration time also they

have shown lower rates. If required, we will show

60 page documents to you for your further action.

Because of this reason, the Government and farmers

are getting loss but company is getting profit.

At the time of land purchase, the rates were finalized only after mutual acceptance.

1) The company has purchased lands from farmers through

agents and they are not local peoples , JPA .They have

taken below market rate. They have also given false

information and broke the rules of Govt. of Revenue

Department.

All the lands have been procured after mutual consent of the land owner and the company.

2) As per Govt. of Karnataka Industrial Act- 2009-14,

farmers will be benefitted financially and socially, but

they broke the industrial act.

All the lands have been procured based on the mutual consent of the land owner and the company. 65 % of land-loosers have been given employment in the company. As a part of CSR activities, Chettinad Cement will provide the infrastructure facilities and amenities to the nearby villages in consultation with District Administration.

3) As per industrial rules, they have to include farmers as a

partner in the company and also they have to give the

shares. But they have not followed.

65 % of land-loosers have been given employment in the company.

4) The Central Government . Revenue Act, 2007,

S.No.97.98, land acquisition & rehabilitation.

No rehabilitation is involved as the proposal is for a brown filed project in the existing premises.

5) The MoU is to be made between industries and

government and land givers for employment to local

educated peoples. But they have not done.


6) The surrounding crops are getting damaged because of

dust coming from industries as they have not followed

the environmental rules. Even the farmers doing strike,

there is no response from the industries.

For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. Environmental Monitoring Report of the plant and mine were enclosed in Final EIA Report (Annexure - 13), where it can be seen that all the parameters are within the norms prescribed. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment.




25 (contd)

Regarding Environment

1) We will get the true information if the Government

takes up a study the environment. Otherwise, there is

no effect for public.

Monitoring of Environmental Performance and compliance with the conditions stipulated by MoEF/KSPCB are aleady being carried out by Regional Office of MoEF,Bangalore and KSPCB, which are government bodies.

2) Before the meeting, you have to intimate the public for

conducting the environmental meeting and display your

activities, but you didn’t do so.

As per EIA notification, the notice for Public Hearing has been given in Samyuktha Karnataka (Kannada), Times of India (English)on 08.09.2013 and in Prajavani (Kannada) on 09.09.2013. Executive Summary in Kannada and English & EIA Report copy in soft and hard copies were made available at the offices mentioned in the above said advertisement.

3) You have to conduct the environmental meeting within

the 2 years after the EIA notification was done in 2006.

No such stipulation exists.

4) Chettinad Cement, India Cement, Vicat Sagar Cements

are within 6-kms only. CCI, Karankote, ICL Company,

Penna Cement also big companies. Because of these

industries, environmental will become high.

The cumulative impact of existing industries, proposed new industries within 10 km and the proposed expansion of Chettinad Cement has been assessed and provided in the Final EIA Report (Page No.4.9 of Chapter 4), which shows that cumulative impact of all the industries put together is within the allowed norms and there will not be any significant impact on surrounding environment.

5) These industries are using basic natural resources and

creating the environmental pollution. The raw material

and the effluent are coming outside the premises and

polluting water & earth.

No effluent, either industrial or domestic effluent, or raw material is discharged from the premises . All effluents are treated and reused within the plant for greenbelt development, dust suppression and ash conditioning . Zero discharge is being maintained in existing plant and same will be implemented in the expansion project also.




25 (contd)

6) The cement industries are producing and selling cement

only not clinker, but they are producing clinker more

than cement, it will not cover for tax to Government. If

you sale the cement, tax will go to Government, then

workers will be benefitted for get higher bonus.

Clearance available for Cement the finished product and Clinker, an intermediate product. Clinker production will always be lower than Cement production. If Clinker is sold all applicable taxes will be paid.

7) If we apply for environmental meeting it will be

conducted within 45 days, but industries applied on 06-

02-2013, the meeting is conducted after 245 days and

they breaks the law.

The delay in conducting public consultation is due to model code of conduct in force on account of announcement of legislative assembly election.

8) These industries are not following rules and regulations. Chettinad Cement is not violating the rules and regulations.

9) These industries are nearby Kunchavaram forest area, in

the EIA, it is not mentioned; please observe it as a false

statement

The distance of Kunchavaram Village is about 20

km from the Plant and 18 km from the Mine in the

direction of North East. In EIA Report the study

area considered is 10km from the project site.

Hence, Kunchavaram will not have any mentioning

in the EIA Report.

10) According to Indian Constitution Act-21, every Indian

has to live healthy & wealthy.

11) In the industries, those who are land looser family will

get a job and local peoples are also will get a permanent

job.

65% of land-loosers have been given employment

in the company and the local people employed at

Kallur Works constitute 80 %.

Any remaining land-looser / local person having required qualification / skills / experience for a particular vacancy, then first preference will be given to the land-looser / local person for the job in the same order.

Because of some reason, the company has not purchased our land . The company is located in Kallur Road (Sy.No.197, 12.05 acres) purchased some neighboring lands. People were complained against our land. The case was in Civil Court Chincholi. The case was decided in our favour. We approached for sale of our land, But company said that we will take only at the rate of 2008 (ie. 5,05,000/-) and registrations also directly not in the name of the company. Now the land rate is high and cost of living also high. If we get the present rate of Rs.5,05,000/-per acre, it will be a loss. The above mentioned sy.nos surrounding company were purchased by us. We are putting crops in our land. But due to the company, the crops were affected and polluted. In the above land, company is having big pond and storing some chemical material in the pond and also the company is manufacturing Cement and some polluting chemicals are coming outside the plant. Colony water also coming to the land. Because of these reasons, we are not getting good crops.

Now there is no need of any additional land for the Plant or Mine. If additional requirement of land is coming up in future, the request of this representative will be considered. For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms.

Environmental Monitoring Report of the plant and mine were enclosed in Final EIA Report (Annexure 13), where it can be seen that all the parameters are within the norms prescribed.

Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment or land or agriculture

1. Heavy loaded trucks are travelling from this company and the road is getting damaged; By this the public and the school students are facing many problems.

Even before the establishment of the first unit of Chettinad Cement at Sangem (K) & Kallur villages, the road conditions were very bad.

In 2010-2011, even our light vehicles coming from chincholi to plant, were taking one hour for a distance of 12 kms and from Karnataka Border (Miryan) to our plant it was taking one hour for a distance of 10 kms.

Now in 2012-13, there is considerable improvement in the road condition. As far as the nearby National Highways are concerned, the laying of road work by National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is under progress.

Zero discharge is being maintained in existing plant and same will be implemented in the expansion project also. Hence, there will not be any significant impact on Mullamari River

3. The Chettinad Cement Company has not purchased the land directly by the farmers. They have purchased through mediator. In this matter farmers have been cheated.

Lands have been purchased after mutual consent between the land owner and the company.

4. In the past public hearing, the company has promised that they would develop the surrounding villages and provide all the basic amenities

As a part of CSR activities Chettinad Cement is providing infrastructure facilities and amenities for the nearby villages in consultation with District Administration.

As per survey no- 32, an extent of 19.29 acres of land is

available near Bhaktampalli border.

Before the construction of company , the yield was 8 quinta

per acre. Now only 2 quinta per acre is the yield. This is due

to factory dust and water entering to my land.

Since 2 years the company is promising that job will be given. On 28/02/2013 , the company conducted the interview. After When we checked up ,the company persons told that our documents and details have been forwarded to head office. Till now the company has not given any offer letter, but promising that the job will be given.

The company has purchased all the neighboring land , but they have not purchased my land and am unable to go to my land as I don’t have way to my land and the company has constructed compound wall. Below the wall there is a small hole through which the waste water is being released. It is in between my field . Due to the force of water, the soil also is getting washed out, Due to this I am unable to grow proper crops in my field since 3 years , incurring a loss of 3 to 4 lacs or more . My present life in dependent on my land. For this I have been to the company and complained about this matter and asked them to look after this matter

No effluent, either industrial or domestic effluent, is discharged from the premises. All effluents are treated and reused within the plant for greenbelt development, dust suppression and ash conditioning . Zero discharge is being followed in the existing plant and same will be implemented in the expansion project also. Chettinad Cement has not obstructed the approach path to any land outside its premises. Hence, the allegations made are not true.

1a) That the said Chettinad Cements Corporation Limited already started their plant, Cement production of 2.5 MTPA with 30 MW Power generation by the Power Plant and 4 MTPA Limestone mining/quarrying in an area of 1074.49 Acres held at the villages of Kallur and Sangam (K) by getting the Environment clearance certificate from the KARNATAKA State Pollution Control Board and the Ministry of Environmental & Forests Department of Central Government.

---

1b) It is brought to your kind notice that the said Chettinad Cements Limited is purely a Private Limited Company.

---

1c) The lands purchased by it are the Patta Lands of the farmers.

---

1d) Whereas the Government of Karnataka in exercise of the powers conferred under the Section 26A (B) of the wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 (Amendment in 2006) (Central Act, 532 of 1972) has considered the area, situation, limits and extent of Forest areas which are specified in (shown below) Schedule-1 to declare as Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary, comprising of Government of Karnataka notified reserved forest blocks as shown in (shown below) Schedule-II, as it is of adequate ecological, faunal, floral and Geo morphological importance and for the purpose of protecting, propagating and developing wildlife or its environment.

---

Annexure – 25 (g)



1 (contd)

1e) Due to commendable work and study by the Ministry Environment & Forest Department and State Board for Wildlife, of the Government of Karnataka considered that it is necessary to declare the area as a Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary in the view of the following aspects:

---

1f) Chincholi Forests are the areas where the natural environment can easily be affected or harmed which needs the special protection. The unique features of this forest deserve to define it as ecologically sensitive zone area. Further, as the area is also having growth of ecological tree species, and vulnerable even to mild disturbances and the area demands careful management. Thus the Chincholi Forest area is considered to be an ecologically and economically important. The list of flora and fauna of the area suggests that, this area is ecologically rich, Valuable and Unique irreplaceable if destroyed.

For existing production facility, the company has provided latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from Plant & Mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment. For the proposed expansion also, all pollution control measures and the practices will be extended. Cumulative impact of existing industries, proposed new industries and the proposed expansion activity of Chettinad Cement on the said sanctuary has been analysed (Page 4.9 of Chapter 4 in the Final EIA Report) and the resultant concentrations of pollutants like Particulate Matter, SO2, NOx and CO have been found to be far lower than the norms prescribed. Hence, the impact of proposed expansion activities on the Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary is very insignificant as it is located 5.8 Km from the plant and 3.2.km from mine boundary and 4.6 km from the current mining pit. Please refer Chapter 4 of Final EIA Report and Biological Report included as Annexure 18 in the Final EIA Report.



1 (contd)

1g) Further, by virtue of their biological richness, they are potentially of high value to human societies, help in maintaining the ecological stability of the area and significant in conserving biological diversity. The uniqueness of the services they offer to human society is precious.

---

1h) Chincholi Forest area is an area having rich natural forest cover having canopy cover about 0.40%. This is the only area in North Karnataka especially rather in the entire Hyderabad , Karnataka Region comprising many of the features that of Western Ghats.

---

1i) The Chincholi Reserve Forest is having natural environment, ecology, flora & fauna. It is having its own geomorphological importance. It is most Ecologically sentitive Zone. Having Fauna wild life containing Black Buck, Common Fox, Four Horned Antelope, Fruit Bat, Hyena, Indian Wolf, Panther, Wild Bore, Bears. Floral Species like Anogessus Latifolia , Chloroxylon, Bosweelia, Serrat and Madhuca Indica, sandalwood, teakwood, tamarind, bamboos are available in plenty here. The birds of 35 different varieties inhabitate the forest Peacocks, parrots, Blue Pigeon, black Drongo, Black winged Kite, Blossom-Headed Parakeet, Black Heads Oriole, Grey partridge are also found in the region. They are all invaluable and diverse.

---



1 (contd)

1j). Due to biotic and climatic intervention, there is a threat of degradation of rich natural forest and thereby may cause threat to the Wildlife of the area. Hence, there is a need and also it is our bounden duty to conserve this precious and irreplaceable unique wealth given by our nature.

For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment.


The cumulative impact of existing industries, proposed new industries and the proposed expansion activity of Chettinad Cement on the said sanctuary has been analysed (Page no.4.9 of Chapter 4 in the Final EIA Report) and the resultant concentrations of pollutants like particulate matter, SO2, NOx and CO have been found to be far lower than the norms prescribed.

Hence, the impact of proposed expansion activities on the Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary is very insignificant as it is located 5.8 Km from the plant and 3.2.km from mine boundary and 4.6 km from the current mining pit. Pl refer Chapter 4 of Final EIA Report and the Biological Report included in the Final EIA Report As Annexure 18.



1 (contd)

1k). Taking into consideration all the above facts, the State Board for Wildlife in its meeting held on 11.08.2010 and 26.07.2011 has taken a decision to declare the Chincholi Forests as Wildlife Sanctuary which comprises of notified and reserve forests only.

---

1l) Sequel to it, the Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of Karnataka and State Board for Wildlife by notification No. FEE:224FWL:2011 declared the Chincholi Schedule-II area of the Chincholi reserve Forests Zone measuring 13488.31 Ha as Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary , The particulars of it, as declared by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of Karnataka and Chief Forest Conservator Regional Forest Office Gulbarga is shown below.

---



1 (contd)

1n) This being so, in gross violation of The Forest (Protection) Act-1980, The Environment (Protection) Act-1986 and the order of Honb’e Supreme Court, the said Cements Ltd., has been established in the villages of Kallur & Sangam (K) without obtaining necessary clearance from the Central Empowerment Committee (CEC), National board for Wildlife & State Board for Wildlife. It is brought to your kind notice that the said Cements Ltd, is at distance of 4.6 KM from the Somalingadalli Reserve Forest, which forest is spread on an area of 489.52 Ha, which in turn comes in the total area of 13488.31 Ha. declared by the State Government as Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary. Obviously, it is established within the perimeter of prohibited 10 KM from Wild life Sanctuary in gross violation of the guidelines for declaration of eco sensitive zones around National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, set by the Indian board for wildlife and Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India. The copy of the guidelines for declaration of Eco-sensitive zones for national parks and wildlife sanctuary framed by the Ministry of Environment of Forests (wildlife division), Government of India is annexed herewith.




1 (contd)

1o) It is humbly submitted that in the case of T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpada V/s. Union in its orders dated: 12-12-1996 & 14-12-2006, the above facts of eco sensitive zone around National Parks and wildlife Sanctuaries has been established unequivocally. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had given clear cut directions to Central Government and all State Government’s to refrain from granting permission for establishing the industries / quarrying etc. i.e. non-forest activity or any extension of the industry, within the prohibited 10 KM perimeter eco sensitive area (zone), around the National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuary. Further, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has directed, vide their order dated: 04-12-2006, Ministry of Environment & Forests to give a final opportunity to all States/ Union Territories to refer the cases of Environmental Clearances, to the Standing Committee of National board for Wildlife.

MoEF has laid down guidelines for the proposals to get the recommendations of Standing Committee of State Board for Wildlife and for getting the clearance from the Standing Committee of National Board for Wildlife. Accordingly , the application submitted for the Chettinad Cement’s proposal is under process. Copy of the application submitted to the concerned authority with the acknowledgment is included in the Final EIA Report as Annexure 8 (b)

1p) It is disheartening to note that said Chettinad Cements Corporation Ltd., has obtained Clearance Certificate from Ministry of Environment and Forests of both Government of India and Government of Karnataka.

Environmental Clearance from MoEF & Consent Orders from KSPCB have been obtained by complying with the rules and regulations.

1q) It is worth mentioning here about the venture of Harish Cements, in district of Mandi, State of Himachal Pradesh (H.P.). The Hon’ble High Court of H.P. has quashed the Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) issued by H.P. Government to Harish Cements. Because the said Harish Cement plant established within 6 KM prohibited eco sensitive area of the Bandi wildlife Sanctuary. So also, is the case of Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, situated in the State of Goa, by its Hon’ble High Court. The copies of the judgment of Hon’ble High Court of H.P. is annexed herewith.

Not applicable



1 (contd)

1r) Now, M/s. Chettinad Cements Corporation Ltd., Chincholi, is planning to expand its activity two fold. It intends to increase its cement production from 2.5 MTPA to 8.25 MTPA, its power generation capacity by power plant from 30 MW to 160 Mw, its quarrying / mining capacity from 4 MTPA to 10 MTPA. It will be gross violation of the Forest Protection Acts & Rules 1980. The Environment Protection Act-1986 and the order of Hon’ble Supreme court dt: 04.12.2006 directed the Ministry of Environment & forests to all States / Union territories referred above. Hence, the permission should not be granted to the company of its expansion, rather its earlier license i.e. Environment Clearance Certificate issued by MoEF Government of India should be annulled.




1 (contd)

2a) The river by name Mullameri or earlier called as Amrut Dhare, is the Lifeline river of Chincholi taluka. Indeed, it is nectar trickling river. It passes through the villages of Kallur Gargapalli, Bhaktampalli, Sangam(K), Ganganpalli, Ganapur etc. in and around the said Chettinad Cements Ltd. Its water is utilized for irrigation of Agriculture, Horticulture and other purposes like drinking etc, by more than 20,000 people. It is the only source of water for them. The river is situated at about 1 KM south from the said Chettinad Cements Ltd. It is also worth to note that the said Chettinad Cements Ltd. , also extracts water for its production, construction and for daily uses from this river.

No water is drawn from the Mullameri river. Water required for existing plant is 900 m3/day and same is sourced from Ground water source within the existing premises. Permission from CGWA has been obtained for 900 m3/day. In fact, company made adequate rainwater harvesting arrangement infrastructure in the existing plant to improve the ground water table. For the proposed expansion, water required will be sourced from Ground water & Mullameri river. Water from Mullameri river/Groundwater will be extracted only after taking necessary approval from concerned departments

2b) However, due to the waste oil and effluents poured out by the said Chettinad Cements, the entire ecology of the said river is jeopardized. Entire water is being polluted, which is increasing day by day in exponential manner. Because of which entire Wildlife is on the edge of extinction. The human life is prone to various diseases. Also, entire agriculture and the irrigation is at high risk. The scarcity of water is felt by one and all. The farming is endangered.

No effluent, either industrial or domestic effluent, is discharged from the premises. All effluents are treated and reused within the plant. for greenbelt development, dust suppression and ash conditioning. Zero Discharge System is being followed in existing plant and same will be implemented in the expansion project also. Hence , there will not be any significant impact on agriculture, health, flora and fauna as no waste water is discharged from the premises.

3a) It is worth to note that to meet its day to day water requirements said Chettinad Cements Ltd has obtained permission for digging 8 bore wells from the senior Geologist, Ground Water Department and Zilla Panchayat Gulbarga. As per the provisions of the Environmental protection Act-1986, R/W. The Environmental impact assessment Rules, the water to be extracted from the bore well or from the underground water source, is limited to 900 m3/day.

The CGWA approval has been obtained for drawl of 900 m3 of ground water per day and based on the approval 9 borewells have been put.



1 (contd)

3b) However, the said Chettinad Cements company has dug more than 200-300 bore-wells, which is so offensive extracting around 3000-4000 m3/day. It is causing irreversible damage to the ecology of the Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary & Reserve Forest in gross violation of the provisions of Water Protection Act-1974 and the Environmental impact assessment Rules. It is clear cut case of looting the natural resources, to meet their dubious ends. They have not incorporated the water meters and do not note down the water used. Hence, you are requested to conduct spot inspection in this regard and assess the environmental impact of the same, around 20-30 villages and around 20,000 population is deprived of the right to use the underground water. The said Chettinad Cements Ltd., has no checks and balances and is a free bird to loot the natural resources. Your goodself is requested to take harsh measures to check the same.

The maximum water requirement per day for the existing plant is only 900 m3.There is no need of 3000 or 4000 m3 of water per day as alleged by the complainant. Water readings from the water flow meters provided are used to arrive at water consumption details and the same are submitted to KSPCB in the form of water –cess returns every month. Only 9 borewells have been put based on the approval from CGWA.



1 (contd)

4a) The emission of the Cements Limited is also very dangerous, which needs serious attention. Its power plant and cement production unit are the main contributors. The coal mill , captive power plant emit the poisonous gases like SO2, NO2 & CO2 apart from pyrites and fluoride the ash and the waste heat emitted from the boiler, contributes too increase of the environmental temperature, causing ecological imbalance. This is causing health hazards. The population in and around the said Chettinad Cements Ltd., is suffering from TB, asthma, cancer, bronchitis etc. Many of the causes are Reported in District General Hospital at Gulbarga. The matter was discussed in Lok Adalat held on 03-09-2013 at Gulbarga, in which the District Health & Family Welfare officer has expressed his opinion and made all present, aware of the situation. The high calorific hazardous waste and the mercury (Hg) cause fatal breathing problems, infertility, TB, Thyroid.

For the existing production facility, the company has provided the latest and modern Air Pollution Control Measures like ESP, Bag Filters etc., and the concentration of air parameters are within the norms prescribed by MoEF/CPCB/KSPCB. As no waste water is getting discharged from the plant & mine, there is no water pollution. All the wastes generated are handled and disposed as stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Noise Level is also within the stipulated norms. There will not be any significant increase in the ambient temperature due to boiler operation as effective insulation is provided to ensure efficient operation of the boiler. Environmental Monitoring Report of the Plant and Mine have been included in Final EIA Report (Annexure 13.) , where it can be seen that all the parameters are within the norms prescribed. No high calorific hazardous waste is used. Only on getting the permission from CPCB and KSPCB, the hazardous wastes will be used. Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on environment or health. For the proposed expansion also, all the pollution control measures and the practices will be extended.



1 (contd)

4b) The agriculture is the most affected one of it all. The ash and the emission is affecting the crops and standing trees. They are prone to poisonous gases like SO2, NO2 & CO2, PM10 SPM etc. The oozing of mercury (Hg) into the environment is causing high damages to the standing crops and trees and other flora and wildlife Sanctuary’s Reserve Forest. The most affected one is the Horticulture.


Environmental Monitoring Report of the plant and mine were enclosed in Final EIA Report ( Annexure 13 where it can be seen that all the parameters are within the norms prescribed.

Hence, there will be not be any significant impact on agricultural activity.

There is no emission of Hg from Cement Process or from Power generation.



1 (contd)

4c) It is brought to your notice that in addition to the already existing Chettinad Cements the Vikatsagar Cements Limited is also in operation in the same area at about 2 KM. Apart from these two Cements companies 4 other Cement companies by names Penna Cements, CCI Cements, Coromandal Cements, Visakha Cements are also working in its nearby vicinity in Andhra Pradesh State, which are situated within perimeter of about 10 KM. The combined effect all the 6 is much indulging in all illegal activities detrimental to National interest and in gross violation of the provisions of air pollution control Act-1981 and the environmental protection Act-1986.

The cumulative impact of existing industries and proposed new industries within 10 km and the proposed expansion of Chettinad Cement has been assessed and provided in the Final EIA Report (Page No.4.9 of Chapter 4) , which shows that cumulative impact of all the industries put together is within the allowed norms and there will not be any significant impact on surrounding environment.

4d) It is brought to your kind notice that the solid waste (Non-hazardous) like the waste limestone is being dumped in the nearby vicinity of the Cement Factory to be specific in the Government Pastures (Gomala). This is causing hindrance for grazing the bovine and milking animals. Almost no space is left by now, for grazing the cows, buffaloes, sheep etc, in gross violation of Sec.97 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. The dairy industry and the farmers are depending on such evocation are prone to great risk rather their employment has been snatched. This is in gross violation of the environmental impact assessment Rules.

There is no waste limestone generated from mining operations. The Fly Ash generated is reused in the cement manufacturing. The Bottom Ash generated is used for various purposes inside the plant premises. Please refer Page 10.23 of Chapter 10 in Final EIA Report for the details of Ash Generation and its Utilization Plan. There will not be any impact on cattle as claimed as the solid wastes generated are used in the plant itself or disposed off as per guidelines stipulated by the authorities.



1 (contd) 5a) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited is taking up extensive quarrying with the help of modern technology and the equipments, using high capacity dynamites. Because of which the unbearable noise of 140 DBA (Decibel) is created in the atmosphere. This is a very big noise, causing air pollution, exceeding the permitted limits of 75 to 85 DBA. The impact of explosion of the high capacity dynamites, is felt up to 20 KM around it. The ground vibration is damaging the residential houses of poor farmer. In fact, many of the houses have fallen down due to acute vibration. The company cares least about it and has taken no measures to control it. The ecology has lost its balance and the human and animal habitat is unable to bear it. It is causing great trouble in day to day life. It is again brought to your kind notice that this is in fact happening in the area of Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary and Reserve Forest Area.

The blasting procedure followed is in line the guidelines of Directorate of Mines Safety. The noise levels are being monitored by recognized agency regularly during the day time and night time. The results of ambient noise levels for the past six months are shown Environmental Monitoring Report attached in Final EIA Report ( Annexure – 13) which clearly shows that the noise levels are below the allowed norm. Blasting Procedure followed for Mining

• Blast holes are fired with Electric detonators & Detonation Fuse adopting Trunk Line Detonation system .


• As per the numerical estimation done with 400 kg charge per delay, the peak particle velocity calculated at a distance of 500m is only 4.5 mm/sec, which is within the permissible limits prescribed by DGMS as 10 mm/sec

6a) The heavy machinery vehicles and goods vehicles meant for transportation of raw material and finished product are numbering about 600 to 800 per day. The Rural villages roads are designed for movement of 15-20 Ton vehicles. They are laid under Pradhkanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), PWD and Zilla Panchayat. But the said Chettinad cements Ltd, weigh about 80 to 100 tons. Their movement has damaged all the rural roads, causing loss of about 100 to 150 Crores to Government Exchequer. The photo & video of the road are annexed.

The average number of trucks coming to the

plant are 150 and not 600 or 800 as claimed.

Only 20 -40 ton capacity trucks are being used

for transporting materials and not 80 to 100 ton

trucks.

Even before the establishment of the first unit of

Chettinad Cement at Sangem (K) & Kallur


In 2010-2011, even our light vehicles coming from

Chincholi to plant, were taking one hour for a

distance of 12 kms and from Karnataka Border

(Miryan) to our plant it was taking one hour for a

distance of 10 kms.


improvement in the road condition. As far as the

nearby National Highways are concerned, the

laying of road work by National Highway


As a part of CSR activities, the company has taken up repairing of roads in the nearby villages. PUC certificates are available for the trucks engaged by Chettinad Cement. Without RTO registration, no truck will be allowed inside the the premises.

6b) The damage to roads has hindered the vehicle movements of private persons and the State Road Transport Corporation Buses. The rural transport system is in doldrums. Emission testing of the vehicles meant for said Chettinad cements is not performed. About 200 to 300 of such vehicles are not registered with RTO, in gross violation of traffic rules.



1 (contd)

6c) In particular, it is humbly submitted that a railway line is being laid by the said Chettinad Cements Limited., between Ganapur and its Unit site. It is being done, without conducting the survey. The natural flow of water is being blocked, as the railway line being laid without constructing the under bridges. Aqua ducts and other structures at appropriate places. Also, the approached roads to the villages of Ganapur, Kallur, Garagpali, Bhaktampalli, Nidagunda, Buragpalli have been blocked, creating many transport problems to the villagers. All the laws relating to the Indian motor vehicle Act have been thrown to wind. The specified unloaded, loaded and laden weights are no importance for the said Chettinad company. None of the Authorities of RTO or the concerned Police are controlling it. Rather, they are hand in gloves with the said Chettinad Cement Company.

The proposed railway line will start at CCI Tandur Take Off Point and cross through the villages viz., Gunthabaspalli, Mittabasupalli, Malkapur and Sangem Muktha to reach Chettinad Cement Plant and not as mentioned by complainant. In-principal Clearance for the proposed railway line has been obtained. As the laying of railway line will be carried out as per the approved plan by Railway Department with regular inspection by Railway Authorities, there will not be any hindrance to the public on account of laying of railway line and no water flow will be blocked.

7b) It is in gross violation of Sarojini Mahishi Report of Karnataka State, which recommends the jobs of 85% in any Industrial unit to the localities.

The total employee strength is 311. Out of this, 250 employees are from local, which is around 80 %.

7c) The company has no regards for SC/ST community. None of such eligible candidates are employed by it.


8a) The company has utterly failed in keeping its promises, made in the Public Meeting convened on 30.12.2009. All its promises of overall development of the area, and about reserving the special funds for it, have gone to dust bin.




1 (contd)

8b) It is pertinent to note that, one of the conditions of the Environmental Clearance Certificate issued by State as well as Central Pollution Boards, is that the 5% of total scheme budget should be utilized for Corporate Social Responsibilities. It is a mandatory provision, but the said Chettinad Cements has utterly failed to implement it.


8c) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited ,thus has least concern for the Corporate Social Responsibility, Environmental impact Assessment and the Environmental Management Plan. Not a single Gram Sabha / Ward Sabha were conducted and parlors held with the localities and the elected representatives. Neither the roads nor potable water supply, nor the health care centers nor the Wildlife Protection Centers nor the schemes and programmes for development of the forest & Ecology have been established by the said Chettinad Cements ltd, in fact, all these schemes have been planned for next 30 years, which is a prolonged period, having no use for the locality.

Towards CSR Rs 1.5 crores per annum has been allocated and the details of actual expenditure and the purpose for which the expenditure is made are submitted regularly to the District Collector. The details of CSR Activities carried out so far have also been presented during the public hearing. Under three heads viz., Health, Education & Infrastructure, various welfare measures like road laying, free medical camps, drinking water supply , providing toilet facilities etc., are being carried out.

9) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited , is mining the sand from the Mullameri River bed and from other Government lands, without getting proper permission from PWD and the department of Mines & Minerals. The sand is being mined and transported to its unit for constructing roads and buildings. This illegal mining has created scarcity of sand for general public, apart from ecological imbalance in the area. The river bed of the Mullameri is completely damaged, paving way for unwanted plant growth, thus polluting the water.

The sand required for the construction of building & road laying purpose are always organized by the contractor from authorized sources.



1 (contd)

10) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited , is miser in paying the taxes and royalty to Government and Local Bodies for the mined sand. It is requested to stop the illegal mining of sand by it immediately and take proper action for recovery of the arrears.

No sand is mined by Chettinad cement . as The sand required for the construction of building & road laying purpose are always organized by the contractor from authorized sources.

11) The said Chettinad Cement Corporation Limited, have directly purchased Patta lands from the farmers, without initiating proper acquisition proceedings. And while doing so, they have illegally encroached many for Government lands, roads, pathways, cart ways and river lets etc. Hence you are requested to conduct proper enquiry in the matter and the DC Gulbarga may be asked to takes steps to take back such Government lands and give them the harsh punishment.

Land acquired by Chettinad Cement, have been procured from the land owners with mutual consent. There is no encroachment involved. Land documents are attached as Annexure 10 in the Final EIA Report.

12) Hence, the Zilla Panchayat Gulbarga in its 5th General Body Meeting, has discussed in length about all the above mentioned problems visa-vis the M/s. Chettinad Cements Ltd. and have unanimously resolved to take disciplinary action against it. The ZP has lost about Rs. 150 Crores towards its damaged roads and another Rs. 50 Crores towards its encroachments of lands. Also it has resolved to unanimously to utilize 10 MW power from its 30 MW power plant. The copy of the Resolution is annexed.

The copy of the enclosed resolution contain no such points highlighted by this petitioner.

The copy of the complaint lodged by me to DC Gulbarga is annexed herewith. It has been also discussed in length, in the Lok Adalat held on 03.08.2013, in presence of Hon’ble Justice Sri. Mohandas & Hon’ble Justice Sri. N.A. Yallappa Reddy. The Honb’e Judges have expressed their concern and reprimanded the Pollution Control Board Gulbarga to do its job sincerely, otherwise shut down the office. The copy of the Lok Adalat proceedings is annexed herewith. All the laws and Acts quoted in the reference have been conveniently floated to suit their purpose.

Not applicable

14) Hence, it is hereby called upon that DC Gulbarga and KSPCB should take proper measures to recover the arrears from the said Chettinad Cements Ltd and remit it to Govt. Exchequer. The proper enquiry be held in the matter and the said Chettinad Cements Limited be taken to task. The environment is to be protected from the crooks, who are looting natural resources at their whims and fancies. Don’t be party to it. You are humbly requested to take proper action in the national interest. The development should not be at the cost of environment rather, it should be eco-friendly. It is proper at this stage to temporarily revoke the Clearance issued to the said Chettinad Cements Ltd.

There is no truth in the allegations made.

15) If you fail in your duties, the Youth Congress Committee, Chincholi will start agitation and for the consequences of which you shall be directly responsible. Also we will resort to other legal and democratic actions.

2a Mr . Moinuddin Munsabdar

As per mentioned above subject public hearing has to be held by hearing public’s views and further formalities have to be done in presences of Deputy Commissioner and other higher officers ,but unfortunately the public hearing was held under many problems like rowdism, by creating a fear in people and not giving opportunity to talk.If we talk in favors of company they clap or if we talk against the company they use to pull out from the crowd etc. By this kind of behavior many social workers were made ashamed in front of public, Deputy Commissioner and higher officer, but they did not object this kind of misbehavior. Under this kind of circumstance they did not give any opportunity to share views.Regarding this matter police complaint has been registered and also requested Deputy Commissioner to take actions against this and published even in news paper. Still company had not provided jobs to land losers and surrounding village-unemployed youngsters but they are giving opportunities to other state people. Cultivation land surrounding the company area, due to dust produced by it, are not giving good yield,Because of this farmers are facing problem and they are fighting for their rights still they have not got any solution from company. Water utilized in company are discarded near mullamari river which is polluting our fresh water source which is used for drinking and agriculture purpose surrounding villages are dependent on this fresh water for many house hold activity.

Everyone was given an opportunity to express his view by the Deputy Commissioner and the Environmental Engineer. The video recording of the proceedings clearly establishes the same. 65 % of land-loosers have been given employment in the company.The percentage of local people employed by Chettinad Cement stands at 80 %. No discharge of any waste water from the premises of the company and Zero Discharge Concept being followed.



2a (contd)

and the details of actual expenditure and the purpose for

which the expenditure is made are submitted regularly to

the District Collector. The details of CSR Activities carried

out so far have also been presented during the public

hearing.CSR Activities are being carried out in

2a (contd)

Karnataka State Pollution Control Board is not taking care of environmental issues. Only it is in report, but actually they are not following .For example as per EIA Notification, if any Cement Plant is constructed, they have to conduct a Environmental Meeting. According to rules and regulations, it has to be conducted once in every two years once. But they have conducted in 2006 only. Till now seven years has been completed. Still they have not conducted any kind of Environmental Issue meetings. Even though regarding this issues, KSPCB has not taking any corrective action, against this I will not say anything further, but it has to be understood by KSPCB. Because the present situation is very critical the present public hearing which was held on 9/10/2013 should be withheld and it should be done once again.
