High Court in its order dated 29.10.2005 after hearing the matter, dismissed the petitions and allowed THDC to close Diversion Tunnel T-2. A Special Leave Petition(SLP) has been filed before Hon'ble Supreme Court and the matter is sub-judice. 

 

REHABILITATION: 
The Directors are pleased to inform that considerable progress has been achieved in the Rehabilitation and Resettlement of the affected population, being carried out by the State Govt. of Uttaranchal, with funds provided by THDC. The RandR work is being implemented by the Rehabilitation Directorate under the overall supervision and control of Commissioner, Garhwal. The RandR is also closely monitored at various levels in the State Govt. and the Govt. of India. 

 
Under Urban Rehabilitation, all the 5291 families of Old Tehri Town, categorized as fully affected, has been completely Rehabilitated and the Old Tehri Town was vacated in Jan 2004.

 
Under Rural Rehabilitation, all the 3355 fully affected rural families of fully affected villages have been rehabilitated through allotment of land/cash compensation. In partially affected villages, out of 2074 fully affected rural families, 1572 families have been rehabilitated, while R and R of the balance rural families is under way.


 Under Rural Rehabilitation, the evacuation of affected families up to EL 760 m. has already been completed. Allotment of land/payment of compensation has been made to all the rural families residing up to EL 790 m and for balance families above EL 790 m, it is under process. The process of level-wise evacuation of families is continuing above EL 760 m. R and R of families above EL 790 m. is at an advance stage. 

 
 All public properties/community facilities created at the Resettlement Sites under the Project have been transferred to concerned Departments of the State Govt. as per the decision taken in the meeting held on 02.06.2006 under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary, GOUA. 

 
 Keeping in view the genuine problems and sentiments of the affected people, certain additional measures for improvement of the R and R package, as proposed by the State Govt. were recommended to the Govt. of India for consideration. The Govt. of India, after careful consideration, had agreed to various measures which include, enhancement of compensation for rural shopkeepers; funds for reconstruction and relocation of public properties in partially submerged villages for the benefit of population residing above submergence level; arrangement of ferry services for people of cut-off area; involving an additional cost of Rs.120.000 millions. The Corporation has also provided additional funds to the tune of Rs.130.000 millions for connectivity of roads to mitigate the problems of people residing in areas affected due to coming up of Tehri reservoir. 

 
To provide connectivity to cut off areas, viz. Pratap Nagar, due to reservoir, two Medium Motor Vehicle Bridges have been constructed at Pipaldali (on Bhilangana) and Siyasu (on Bhagirathi). Pipaldali Bridge is operational and Siyasu Bridge will be operational by Oct'06. Ferry services have been provided at Project cost till Siyasu Bridge is operational. 
 
 The affected population of areas affected by the reservoir had been representing that due to longer travelling distance, they are facing hardship as public transportation and essential items have become costlier. To mitigate this hardship, a Heavy Motor Vehicle Bridge, costing around Rs.900.000 millions, is being constructed at Dobra on the Bhagirathi. Keeping in view the welfare of the affected population, Govt. of India have agreed to bear part of the cost of the Bridge, for which the proposal is under consideration at the Govt. level. Till such time the Heavy Motor Vehicle Bridge is operational, Govt. of Uttaranchal have taken steps to provide essential items to the affected people at subsidized cost; the increase in public transportation cost due to longer distance of travel is also proposed to by subsidized by the State Govt. 

 
The approved provision for R and R as per Revised cost Estimate is Rs.9830.000 millions which is likely to be around Rs.12000.000 millions due to additional measures agreed by the Govt. Till date Rs.11840.000 millions have been released for R and R works.

WEBSITE DETAILS:

The Tehri Dam and Hydro Electric Project had initially been accorded Investment Clearance by the Planning Commission in June, 1972 for implementation by the Government of U.P., with an installed generating capacity of 600 MW. The State Government commenced the construction of the Project in 1978. Subsequently, in 1983, the proposed installed generating capacity of the Project was increased by the State Government to 1000 MW.

 

In view of the shortage of funds for implementation of the Project in the State sector,  it was decided in Nov.,1986 to implement  the  Tehri project  as a Joint Venture of the Government of India and  Government of U.P. through financial and technical assistance from erstwhile USSR.

 

In  Nov.,1986,  an agreement on economic and  technical  co-operation  between the Government of India and Government of USSR  was signed, which interallia included execution of the 2400  MW Tehri Hydro  Power  Complex comprising 1000 MW Tehri Dam  and  Hydro Power Plant,  400 MW Koteshwar Dam  and  Hydro  Power Plant  and  1000  MW  Tehri  Pumped  Storage  Plant. This agreement envisaged financing in the  form of credit amounting to 1000 million Roubles from USSR.

 

The Government had also approved seeking the technical and financial assistance from the then USSR for implementing the Tehri Power Complex. However, with the disintegration of USSR, the financial assistance from USSR was not available. It was accordingly decided to initially implement Tehri Dam and HPP(1000 MW), as Stage-I of Tehri Power Complex(2400 MW) and Associated Transmission System. Other components of the Tehri Power Complex, viz., Koteshwar Project, and the Pumped Storage Plant, were envisaged to be taken up at a later stage.

 

The Government approved the implementation of Tehri Dam and HPP Stage-I (1000 MW) in March,1994, alongwith the essential works of Pumped Storage Plant and committed works of Koteshwar HEP.  

 

The Koteshwar HEP (400 MW) was approved for implementation by the Government in April’2000.  

 

The Tehri PSP(1000 MW) which would utilize the Tehri and Koteshwar reservoirs as the requisite upstream and downstream reservoirs, has been approved for implementation in July’06.
