in june first week , i got a call from pujjya swamiji's office of parmarth nikethan , rishikesh for a meeting. without knowing anything i landed and suddenly swamiji told we need to talk about kedarnath , as govt creating solutions for proposed project. By Swamiji's blessings and Guru's grace thoughts have flowed to create a power point presentation (with just 9 slides) with my own hand diagrams. though first two times the presentation keep postpone due to some technical flop , later swamiji really jumbed into joy once i started and added green touches to kedarnath. though the whole meeting just lasted for 15 mins , in the presence of few other , in a day or two i got a surprising call from the office of superidentent of police for rudraprayag district , as they received a forwarded note from chief minister office , regarding project kedar -solutions -that i want to present to CM. the CM has directed the district administration to go thru my proposals and asked to submit a report (first time i am fortunate to see that my letter given to CM on 1st may 2014 at his phata visit , with his remarks and goes thru various departments) by this time the CM itself has endorsed and informed me about his direction on his second visit on 25th may to guptakashi. The Badri kedar temple committee also drafted a letter by the reference of District administration to include me in their team as a volunteer which i received on 16th may 2014. the whole proposal that i submitted to SP went to DM's desk and DM was keen on the suggestions and ordered his secretary to be in touch with me to get more details , which they need to present it to CM cell . I hereby acknowledge all this is not possible without the blessing of pujjya swamiji chidanand maharaj and grace of Guru.
Building
New kedarpuri
Possibilities of check dam
creation
•
Need to find out the possibilities to build
the check dam facilities at higher altitudes – in kanti sarovar and chorabhari
lake etc
Ø Advantages
– can be monitor water inflow and water level thru satellite technology
Ø Can
be avoid lake burst kind situation and sudden flow of gallons of waters from
the upper stream
Ø Can
get little time to alert the down areas if it properly coordinated and
implemented with right technology
Ø Can
take the help of DRDO regarding this to create a technology – may be extend to
other areas too if we find something
River canal system with
high level emergency exit bridges
•
3 tier canal system (protection wall) has
to be build in mandhagini river in such
a way the lower canal height wil be at 30 ft ht from ground , middle will be 40
and top will be 50 ft ht from river basin
•
the width of lower canal is 30 ft , middle
one another 20 ft (both sides) , top one
another 20 ft (that means total canal with is 70 ft + 3 wal * 10 ft = 100 ft
•
So that the overflow water from lower canal
will come to next one and then to the top one
•
The height of town area should be more than
the top canal height
•
In river saraswathi –min 2 tier canal
system has to be build same way as in mandagini
•
Advantage – generally by observing
natural eye view , the increase of flow
in rivers , precautionery steps (evacuation) can be taken unless otherwise such
as dam or lake burst condition in rainy seasons
Temple area view –proposed
•
3 tier canal (protection wall ) in river
•
Umberlla protection wall behind the temple
•
2 tier circular parikrama around the
temple can be build with provision of varandha’s as if in south
indian temples
•
High level Emergency exit bridges along the
river that can take people to side mountain range incase of flood
•
Emergency alarms
•
Helipads for emergency rescue operations at
reachable distance from the emergency exit bridges on both sides of the temple
area
•
Identifying the plants and involve devotees
in mass tree plantation behind the temple
and on the side mountains to
create a forest and to stop the soil erosion
•
Utiling the front area of the temple by
creating green park with transparent roof for people to make use –like green
house kind
Advantages of 2 tier circular parikrama around the temple
•
•
In the ancient days , the kingdom itself
build around the temple , so in the temple parikrama , they have space for
stock room, darbar, people stay varandha , court etc etc will be there
•
Here I am suggesting circular parikrma (without disturbing the temple vimana) of 20 mt width , design in two layers (an
inner parikrama and an outer parikrama) , which not only can prevent the temple
but also can divert the over flow water because of the design
•
This will help more people can take
schelter in times of emergency ,
•
Can be build by using same boulders that
brought by river , and instead of cement and concrete , we can use ancient
technique of lime , kadukkai , mud and little cement etc –I heard nepali
labours can be done well in using these boulders like this
New kedarpuri - Why it should not be
in the limpcholi area – as govt planned
•
the 2 km distance in the slope pathway is
difficult to walk in snow fall or rains – and now electricity also not there in
path way – so difficult to come back from temple after evening arathi – I
personnally experienced in oct 2013
•
The above photo taken on 4th may 2014 shows nearly
6 ft ice depositing which made us not
able to arrange any schelter for pilgrims
•
The middle picture shows how temperary
tents made on ice in the slope area
•
The below picture was taken on 1st of june , which shows , still the snow occupies
the place so that we could not make any schelter arrangement
•
Govt already planned to run electric cars
or golf carts instead if we shift to old
route area by connecting thru bridge
that will be better option
Advantages of building new
kedarpuri in old horse shed area (ghoda shed)
•
this part for approx from 1 km to 1.5 km
road is in good condition
•
temple area just 500 mt walkable distance so
every one can dharshan evening arathi and come back even in night
•
Landscape is comparatively less slope than
the helipad area (glacier points)
•
If connected with high level bridges from
limbcholi (across the river) on both sides of the town area – it can be put
into functional
Whichever area -Plan and
policy
•
Clear town plan has to be made , in such a
way , buildings not blocking the wind flow and water flow incase if any such
come it can pass away without causing damage or casuality – even now one can
see the left out buildings structure ––once water got flow area it did not
damaged other buildings
•
The buildings should be made in such a way
, with eco friendly matereials such as prefabricated ones with proper ventilation for air
circulation instead of huge construction
by concrete or cement , so that it can be completed in short span of time ,
cost effective ,
•
environmental issues and concerns of
environmentalists also be addressed
•
Only
two tier system (ground and upper flour) has to be build
How the town planning
should be
•
•
the building designs should be uniform and
should be like half circle kind or design of eye – so that in case if water
enters the building can divert the water instead of resisting it - so minimum damage can be ensured even if
calamity strikes
•
How ever the whole town area should be like
semi circle type
•
In the below pic u can clearly notice how
the water have not affected any building once it got passage to move thru
Need of High level bridges
Instead of low level bridges that
presently builded at Rambada , high level bridges has to be builded to connect
the places
•
between rambada
•
In the chota limbcholi – to avoid going
down and claimbing up again
•
From there to connect at old trekking road
– after the gurada chatti – just before the ghoda shed (horse shed) area
•
At the end of the kedar entry point –
little before to where old bridge point was there
•
Emergency exit bridges across the river on
the sides of the temple town to get connected – to escape the town area in
quick time incase of emergency (the below pic is in kashmir build by our
railways)
Procedure for
implementation
•
The government can announce interest free
loans (75 %) and (25 % subsidy by govt) to the lodge owners so that on their
name it can build and give to them , and ask them to start repay the loan after
a period of 2 years handing over the building keys
•
Should get the application from building
owners and their legal heirs , should be build in uniform design and hand over
to them
•
This will reduce the time frame of
construction and it can be handed over to military or BSF
t The place(on steps of the temple) i stand in flood waters for 45 mins , in 3.5 ft waters to my height - from the ground level nearly 15 ft
