DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR SMALL DRAINAGE AND PIPE CULVERTS

Shiva Nand ji, It is a matter of concern to be brought on your kind notice as discussed on the online meeting scheduled for 23-8-2026 11.00 am to 1.00 pm., that Drains and culverts are designed to take the run off from the drainage area resulting from a storm which is considered to produce the greatest momentary run off that can occur once a year. Exceptionally heavy storms of rare occurance are permitted to cause flooding for the reasoning that the damage done by such flooding doesn't justify the provision of large drains or culverts at heavy extra costs capable of taking the heaviest flow likely to occur at any time. Since the intensity of rain fall is not uniform through out the storm period, hence it is essential to follow critical (or design) intensity for a catchment is that maximum intensity which can occur in a time interval equal to the concentration time. For the design of minor bridges and storm water drains, it will be sufficient to take, one hour rainfall and for greater accuracy this has to be modified further with the time of concentration to arrive at the critical (or design) intensity. As far construction is concerned in the case of small drainage crossings pipe culverts are often found in practice to be the most economical and easily constructed. These culverts can be easily enlarged subsequently to take more discharge by the addition of one or more pipes, and the cement concrete pipes are commonly used RCC pipes are more economical for sizes above 45 cm and under heavy loads. Pipe culverts should be laid on firm bedding and if the soil furnishes a poor support the pipes should be bedded in a layer of concrete;in the case of cause ways all pipes are embedded in concrete however solid foundations may not be provided in good soils as some amount of settlement as a whole in the pipes can be tolerated. Where a defined channel does not exist, and natural velocity of flow is very low, it is economical to design a culvert as consisting of a pipe or a number of pipes of circular or rectangular section (box) functioning with the inlet submerged. The discharge through a circular opening is much more than through a rectangular opening of the same cross sectional area, specially when running full, circular openings give about 25 to 30 percent more discharge:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552,Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number, 9459334377

IN ADDITION TO WHITE HOUSE CHINA IS ALSO MAKING PROBABILITY FACTOR OF OUR SUCCESS STORY DETERIMENTAL FOR THE FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION PLAN UNDER GROWTH

In addition to white House published report against the forty countries, including India, any penal action would be a blow required to its growth story. Over the last few years, rather than predominantly importing Chinese finished goods, India has been importing raw materials and the intermediate goods, using them to manufacture finished goods within the country, and then exporting them. As such, electronic components made 3.3 percent of India's imports from China in the first quarter of 2015-16 , this has grown to. nearly as of the first quarter of 2026-27 . Several other goods used in manufacturing in India, such as electric machinery, chemicals, plastics, have seen their shares rise over the same period. On the other hands the share of finished goods, such as telecom instruments have fallen from 18 percent to 11 percent over the same period of time. Similarly, the share of manufactured fertilizers have fallen from about 7.5 percent in 2015 to less than 1pecent in 2026 . The share of consumer electronics in imports from China have halved over the same period. As such and more, the make in India for the world story still relies , heavily on inputs from China , if India is forced to curb those imports, its manufacturing costs will rise , making Indian products, less competitive globally. The latest allegations that India is helping, China evade tariffs, are not accompanied by penal actions yet, but that possibility remains for future, where in Trump business corridor could decide to impose further tariffs on countries he deems as helping China in this behalf of the business dealing and intact for the blow to grow:-- Er Fateh Chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number 9459334377

ANNUAL REPORTS TO PARLIAMENT/LEGISLATURES RELATED TO ALL MINISTRIES/DEPARTMENT INCLUDED IN RTI ACT SINCE OM NUMBER DATED (22-9-2014) MUST HAVE APPROPRIATE VISION UNDER THE PROVISION MADE FOR ACCESS TO INFORMATION/JUSTICE

The jurisprudence judiciary working on the captioned subject has offered an important work regarding modernisation of the access actually means where in Article 39A gives constitutional recognition to the principle that access to justice cannot depend upon economic or other disabilities, but access is not merely the ability to file a petition. It means a meaningful opportunity to secure a remedy within a reasonable time, where the RTI act, 2005 and the RTS has been designed for the welfare of citizens of country and distance between a citizen and justice has been reduced upto the possible extent and it must be measured within the law of limitations, prefixed for the first appeal and the second Appeal for consideration under provision made for good governance and citizens charters mandatory for all Ministry/Departments/public authorities, however there should be no ignorance of law code manual prefixed by the acquired modernisation, emphasised for strengthening the public confidence and also to reinforce the constitutional promises related to the transparency and accountability, working for the good governance and citizens charters, where effective remedy must be a vision of the delivery of justice through citizens charters assured by the Government for the time lines issued for the design presentation of access to information and justice for the system maintained by the government corridor, ultimately the results of our constitutional conversation on access to justice for the common man , extended to cover all statutory and discretionary operations that are part of the public authorities mandate under the allocation of business rules read with the business of transaction rules. Additionally, every department would have a specific set of schemes and development programmes, which they are required to implement directly or through their subordinate offices or other designated agencies. As such clarification in case of events by a public authority, altering an existing decision making process or adopting an entirely new process, such changes must be explained in simple language or technical/professional terms, as the case may be, and in order to enable people to easily understand the such changes made  for recommendation for reforms, including recommendation in respect of the particular public authorities, for the development, improvement, modernisation, reform or amendment to this Act or other legislation or common law or any other matter relevant for operationalising the right to access information/justice:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number, 9459334377

REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PUBLIC IN RELATION TO THE FORMULATION OF ITS POLICY OR IMPLEMENTATION MUST HAVE CONSULTATION THROUGH WRITTEN DIALOGUE AND DISCHARGE OF ITS FUNCTION FOR DECISION-MAKING

Parliamentary and Assembly duty seems to be reluctant on the institutional mechanism of demand under public service and utilities instead these institutions are failing to serve the routine working and meaningful debates and delaying important duties related to the public welfare and citizens charters mandatory for all in the democracy for the people by the people and to the people, where parliament and the Assembly are considered the foundation of our democracy taking cognisance of the representation for the people welfare but the political parties are believing in verbal dialogue and discussion rather than bring it to the notice of the public authorities in written response for the reply and query so that matters may be highlighted for the future respect and dignity, related to the common man demanding citizens charters and public service guarantee under law code manual prefixed by the Constitution of India in this behalf but it is regretted for the such obedience of the code for consideration and the democracy for the people by the people to the people working on the path of verbal abuse and agreement where there is no debate and discussion on the accountability and transparency and the agenda remains hidden for all in need, list by way and virtue of which the law making process has been ignored by our democracy working for the welfare of citizens charters and accountability and too taking cognisance of the future prospectus of the effective law making process and implementation of the law code manual prefixed by the Constitution of India in this behalf, which are vital to its functioning and also to contain corruption and to hold governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed. As such it is necessary to follow law and rules and observe the particulars of any consultation and the agreement with, representation by the members of the public in relation to the formulation of its policy or implementation thereof, failing which it is not possible to bring good governance and accountability in the administration and working of the public authorities:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number, 9459334377

IMPLEMENTATION OF SUO MOTU DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 4 OF RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT, 2005 -- GUIDELINES FOR THE COMPLIANCE MECHANISM, THEREOF

Right to Information working as a supreme power of citizens of the country in right to access information and have first appeal and the second appeal against wrong deal of cases and the misleading information by public authorities, list by way and virtue of which it has been considered an empowerment for the good governance and citizens charters mandatory for all Ministries and the departments as well as public authorities taking cognisance of promulgation of the Act, dealing with large amount of information relating to the functioning of the Government and is being put in public domain. However the quality and quantity of proactive disclosure is not upto the desired level and it was felt that the weak implementation of the section 4 of the RTI Act is partly due to the fact that certain provisions of this section have not been fully detailed and, in case of certain other provisions, there is need for laying down detailed guidelines. Further there is a need to set up a compliance mechanism to ensure that requirements under section 4 of the RTI Act are met with. In order to do so the Government of India constituted a task force on suo motu disclosure under the RTI Act, 2005 in May, 2011 , which included representatives of civil society organisations active in the field of right to information, for strengthening compliance with provisions for suo motu or proactive disclosure as given in the section 4 of the RTI act, 2005 . Based on the report of the task force the government have issued the guidelines for suo motu disclosure under section 4 of the RTI act, 2005 . Suo motu disclosure of more items under section 4,Guidelines for digital publication, dealing with detaining of section 4 (2) (b) (iii) etc etc along with compliance mechanism for suo motu disclosure (Proactive disclosure) under the RTI act, 2004 , however, it is necessary that disclosure should be done in the local language, so that it remains accessible to the public. It should be presented in a form that is easily understood and if technical/professional words are used, they should be carefully explained. As provided in section 4 disclosure should be made in as many mediums as feasible and it must be kept upto date. The disclosure of information may be made keeping in mind the provisions of Section 8to 11 of the RTI act, and the Ministries/Departments should undertake suo motu disclosure and ensure compliance based on these guidelines and the above guidelines may be brought to the notice of all for compliance, working in the field of Right to Information and the Right to public service guarantee Act, so that people may take benefits of the implementation of suo motu disclosure under section 4 of the RTI act, 2005 , as per the guidelines:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number, 9459334377

POLICE AUTHORITIES ARE RESPONSIBLE TO REGISTER FIR WITHIN 15 DAYS TO 90 DAYS OF THE COMPLAINT AND THEN AFTER REASON FOR DELAY MUST BE REPORTED TO HOD

Secularism has been declared part of the Constitution's unamendable, basic structure, precisely so that state could neither favour a religion nor punish disrespect towards one , and the Article 25 guarantees not just the right to practice religion but, implicitly, the space for social reformers, sceptics and atheists to challenge religious practice, since the same Article subjects the right to religious freedom to public order, morality and health and permits the state to legislate for social welfare and reforms, even where this cuts against religious custom. Article 19(1) (a) guarantees for the free speech in the same breath that the Article 19(2) too permits the reasonable restrictions in the interests of public order decency or morality. Speech in violation of Article 19(1) (a) , Section 295 A and its BNS successor rest on terms no more precise, outrage, insult, religious feelings, policed after the fact by which ever officer happens to receive the complaint , yet the court has never brought the reasoning to bear on the provision, whose own constitutionality it settled, without revisiting it . A cartoon, a novel, a documentary, a stray remark on social media, all can be made to fit the language of insult, without any accompanying threat of actual disorder, and the Indian criminal procedure allows a First Information Report to be lodged and an accused to be arrested, well before any court examines, whether the constitutionality required deliberate and malicious intent was in fact present. The chilling effect happens at the point of complaint, not at the point of conviction and the Supreme has, in a neighbouring context already endorsed exactly this objection and it struck down Section 66A of the Information Technology Act in its entirely, holding that criminalising online messages using undefined terms such as offensive and menacing:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number, 9459334377

THERE IS A BIG DECLINE IN EMPLOYMENT GENERATION GOVERNED BY (APRIL TO JUNE, 2026) VB - G RAM -G SCHEME AS COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEARS ALLOCATIONS MADE BY THE MGNREGA

During the first three months of this financial year ie April to June 2026 , there is a confusion of VB -GRAM G, certainly a negative approach and the fact that employment generation has been virtually nil or very slow, as compared to the previous years employment generation made through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act /Scheme, however the new Scheme is a begining of the work for the employment generation and the old scheme of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme was the closing one, as such it may show such index of the work done during the first three months where the position of the Himachal pradesh is very low , as per the report reveals under employment decline in April to July, 2026 . It is too early to depend upon this result sheet of the proceedings of employment generation by the VB -GRAM G, however it is also a fact as new panchayats have yet to take their work on said schemes in hand and definitely Himachal pradesh facing delay in employment generation through the new scheme introduced by the Government of India in place of MGNREGA and witnessed an unprecedented, the situation may improve in the next few months , however it is for the state Government to follow instructions and guidelines of the new design parameters of the VB -G RAM G Scheme and improve the position and situation of employment generation decline, existing at present on the captioned subject matter deliberation required to be increased by the department of rural development and based on the budget allocation for the financial year 2026-27 :-- Er Fateh Chand Guleria, Director RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal pradesh phone number 9459334377.
