ROYALTY CHARGES OF WATER -SHED INVOLVED IN BHAKHRA DAM RESERVOIR ARE NOT SATISFACTORY AND THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MUST DECIDE IT ON THE BOUNDARY LINE OF THE CATCHMENT BASIN, FACING VARIOUS PROBLEMS DUE TO FLOOD DRAINAGE.

The dispute of water from the Bhakhra dam reservoirs related to Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan yet unresolved, even the Central Government also interfering for which no permanent resolution could be made by the all neighbouring states taking benefits of the water collected in the Bhakhra dam reservoir and coming from the Kinnaur district of the state of Himachal Pradesh where number of remedies are required to be rectified by the state Government of Himachal Pradesh like, soil erosion, construction of check dams and plantation, as well as house damages, road damages and other damages of the natural environmental science and technology reform for the electricity generations and development of the stable infrastructure at such places from where said water is coming through the river Satluj to the Bhakhra dam reservoir. As for as the claim of royalty charges of said water is concerned it is very less on the part of routine maintenance by the public authorities of the State government and also by the public residing near the banks of the river Satluj , which should be assessed on the basis of the runoff reaching the river Satluj from the catchment area covered instead of the water fil area keeping inview the damages occured because of the intensity of rainfall generally depending upon the catchment area profiles and the period of storm . Keeping in view the above narrative of the catchment basin for outfall or reservoir working from the Bhakhra dam and maintained by the BBMB the losses occured because of the water shed area resulting flooding and damages and not capable of taking heaviest flow during the heavy rains and affecting adverse during the intensity of maximum rainfall occured and now a days the BBMB is not recording the such watershed areas and discharge of rivers joining the Bhakhra dam reservoir and taking no cognisance of their duty and responsibility for which royalty as decided by the BBMB Is not a sufficient compensation of the recovery of such damages occured and their maintenance by the Government as well as the individuals residing in such areas of the reservoir since long however the government failed to pay for their rehabilitation and accommodation even this much cross and pass of the period of shifting from their houses to new places and yet demanding their fundamental rights and mutations for the living rooms which is very wrong on the part of the state Government as well as the Government of India taking no cognisance of the duty for their rehabilitation as facing various problems till date of the consequences. The royalty less than 12.5 percent is an injustice with the state government of the Himachal Pradesh and the Government of India must realise this maintenance cost of water shed involved for the compensation where BBMB is now overlooking the duty of their boundary line of the basin, as earlier doing needful and the Government is also reluctant to take cognisance of the welfare of the watershed areas covered under this duty of the demand under public service/utility:-- Er Fateh Chand Guleria, Director RTI Welfare Association registered number HPCD 3552 , Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh phone number 9459334377
