PREFACE

The preparation of Working Plan has never been as relevant an exercise as it

has been 1988 Forest Policy of India and the judgement in T.N.Godaverman Vs Union

of India case in Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. A serious thought process has started

going into the preparation working plan document. Further Hon'ble Court has given the

directions that the Govt. of India shall its say in the preparation of Working Plans of

various states by way of involvement of its representatives from the regional offices of

Govt. of India.

Focus areas in the present working plan has been as follows:-

1. Enhancing the forest cover and to maintain the ecological balance.

2. Improving productivity of existing forests and to obtain sustained yield

of timber.

3. Special care has been taken to see that there must not be any

adverse effect on the regeneration status and forest cover while

harvesting matured/over matured trees.

4. To maintain the diversity of the wild animals including the avifauna

population.

5 To create awareness and sensitize people about the forest and its

role towards the welfare of the society on large.

The salient features of the present working plan are as follows:-

1. The main purpose of the Working Plan is the conservation of the Forests

and raising the ecological and environmental status of the area by

improving the growing stock.

2. There has to be no felling of Shisham trees, fruit trees in all forests.

3. The prescribed yield has been reduced to 50% of the calculated yield.

4. Indigenous and miscellaneous tree species will be given preference over

exotic species in the plantation programmes.

5. There will be no clear felling of areas

6. A new Chapter on Eucalyptus working circle is introduced keeping in view

the change in eucalyptus crop age which has become matured or over

matured.

It is believed that the prescriptions given in this Working Plan will help in

fulfilling the objective of improving the growing stock thereby resulting in a more healthy

environment. At the same time, it is also expected that the improvement of soil and

water conservation, the improvement in growing stock will raise the general prosperity

of the people as a whole.

Chapter-I

The Tract Dealt with

1.1 Name and Situation

This working plan deals with forests situated along roads, canals, drains and flood

protection, Bunds and other lands under block forests or areas otherwise under the management

of the forest department located within the jurisdiction of this revenue district of Ferozepur and

newly constituted Fazilka districts. The division forms a continuous belt of 15-25 K.M. width

and on the left bank of Sutlej River along the Pakistan border. The total geographical area of the

Ferozepur & Fazilka district is 5303 sq. km. Total Forest area under Ferozepur and Fazilka Distt.

is 9429.84 ha which is 1.7 % of total geographical area.

Ferozepur division consists of five Ranges namely, Zira, Ferozepur, Jalalabad,

Fazilka, and Abohar. This division lies between 73050’ to 75025‘ east longitude and 290-57' to

31010’ north latitude.

1.2 Configuration of the Ground

River Sutlej makes western boundary of this division. The tract is generally flat

and slope is towards south-west. There are some sand dunes in the Fazilka Range, hence there is

uneven topography in this part on the District.

The natural depressions along the roads get flooded during the rainy season

and this causes water-logging in some areas. The depressions are generally along the roads and

canals from where earth is removed during construction of road or canal.

1.3 Geology rock and soil

The soil is typical of Punjab plains. It is loam to sandy loam in Fazilka. The areas

near the river are clay to silty loam. Soil in Jalalabad Range of this Division is saline due to the

impeded drainage. The soil as a whole is very useful for agricultural and forestry purposes.

1.4 Climate

The climate is characterised by extreme hot summer and cold dry winters. These

climatic conditions are quite unfavorable for the growth of the plants. The various factors

affecting the growth of the plants are as under :-

2

(I) Temperature :-

During the summer the temperature touches 460C and in winter the minimum

temperature some times falls below the freezing point. Dry and hot winds are very common. The

month of May & June are the hottest whereas December and January are the coldest. Table No. 1

gives the temperature figures in the region. Since there is no meteorological observatory in

Ferozepur, data from Bathinda Airforce Station is adopted because it falls in the same zone as far

as temperature is concerned.

II) Rainfall

The tract lies in the South-West of Punjab and is a part of dry zone. Most of the

rain comes from South-West Monsoon and is received from July to September small amount of

rainfall occurs in December and January. Rainfall is most erratic in character and often long dry

spells are noticed even during the rainy season. Table 2 represents the rainfall record of

Ferozepur District from 1999 to 2009.

III) Dew :-

It occurs in winter months, it has no significant effect on plant growth.

IV) Frost :

It is very common during December and January and affects the plants very

adversely. It has been observed that in plantations Kikar seeding upto 3-4 meters high also get

killed due to the severe attack of frost.

V) Winds :-

During summer, there are hot dry winds and in winter cold winds do affect the

growth of the seedlings. Dust storms in Fazilka Tehsil in the month of May and June cause

droght conditions & affect the vegetation considerably.

1.5 Irrigation :

The plantations of forest areas in this division meet their water requirements

either from rains or from the canals or hand watering by water tankers. The rains during winter &

summer are uncertain. Young plantations can make use of the existing facilities of irrigation

from canals. Pumping sets must be arranged for this purpose. Sub-soil water is at a moderate

depth in the tract. The average water table of the area varies from 5 M to 20 M. However, the

ground water in most of the areas of the division is not very suitable for plants.

1.6 Drainage :

The tract in general is well drained. Low areas along the strips get flooded

during rainy season. Area close to the river Sutlej get flooded and water logged conditions

prevail in low lying areas temporarily. The establishment of economical species in water logged

areas is a serious problem. In Abohar and Fazilka Ranges water logging is very severe. More

advanced techniques and professional knowledge should be applied in tackling such problematic

areas. Digging of deep trenches or ditches to drain off water from water logged areas and then

planting on the raised mounds can be one of the techniques that may prove useful in the

reclamation and afforestation.

1.7 Distribution of Area :-

This division is divided into five ranges- Ferozepur Range, Zira Range, Jalalabad Range,

Fazilka Range & Abohar Range. The area is divided into two major categories viz Block Forests

& Strip Forests. The total forest area covered under this plan is 9429.84 ha comprising 1198.50

ha of block forest, 1138 ha of rail strip, 1946 ha of road strip, 3944.31 ha of canal strip & 1203

ha of drain/bunds.

(a) Strips :

The total area of the strips along the roads, canals, railways, drains and Bunds is

as under :-

1 Road Strips 1946.00 ha

2 Railway Lines 1138.00 ha

3 Canals 3944.31 ha

4 Drains/Bunds 1203.00 ha

------------

Total 8231.31 ha

(b) Block Forests :

20

The total area of block forest is 1198.50 ha. There are three categories of Block forest

which have been dealt with under this working Plan.

(i) Reserve Forests (ii) Protected Forest and (iii) Evacuee Lands (unclassed Forests)

(i) Reserve Forest :

There is only one Reserve Forest namely Chak Sarkar having area of 433.33 ha

which has been further divided into 20 compartments of various sizes.

(ii) Protected Forest :-

There are nine such forest areas in this division. The total area of protected forests

in the division is 345.2 ha

(iii) Evacuee (Unclassed) Forests :-

There are fifteen such forest areas in this division. The total area of these forest is

420.00 ha.

1.8 Width of the Strips :

All the strips vary in size. Some are very narrow and are suitable for planting in a

single row of plants but some are very wide. Canals like Ferozepur Feeder, Sirhind Feeder,

Bikaner Canal, Eastern Canal, Main Branch Canal and roads like Delhi-Hisar-Sulmanki road and

Ludhiana-Ferozepur road Malout-Fazilka road and strips of some railway lines are fairly wide.

The classification on the basis of width can be as under :-

(I) BROAD: Where more than four rows of plants can be planted.

(II) MODERATE Where three to four rows can be planted.

(III) NARROW: Where only two rows can be planted.

(Iv) VERY NARROW: Where only one row can be planted.

Table No.4 gives the length and average width of each strip and their Range wise distribution.

1.9 INTER DEPARTMENTAL RULES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF STRIP

FORESTS

(a) ROADS

Under the Inter Departmental Rules, 30' is to be left unplanted from the centre of

the roads along State Highways In the case of National Highways, the first row of plants should

be 11 Meters (35') from the centre of the road.

(b) RAILWAYS:

21

The first row of plants should be 7.5 meters from the centre of the railway line.

No planting is to be done under telephone and electricity lines. However, small shrubs can be

planted under telephone and electricity lines, planting of Bougainvillea will splash colour along

the strips. In case of embankments, slopes should not be planted. Inside of toe curves should not

be planted in the interest of visibility. Station yards may be planted in consultation with railway

authorities. On both sides of the un-manned level crossing, no planting should be allowed within

100 m on either side.

No planting is to be done on Railway platforms and in Railway colonies.

(c) CANALS:

It has been laid out in the inter-departmental rules that first row should be

planted 7.5 meters (25') away from the "Daula" of the major canals. In case closer planting is to

be done the Divisional Forest Officer may, consult XEN Irrigation. Inter department rules are

annexed in Annexure-XVII.

1.10 STATE OF BOUNDARIES

The railway strips are well demarcated with the help of boundary pillars. There

are boundary pillars along some of the roads and canals. There are no boundary pillars in case of

Bunds and drain. Land plans for most of the canals, road and railway lines are available but in

case of drains, bunds, distributaries and minor, they are not available in the Sub-divisions.

1.11 LEGAL POSITION

(a) STRIPS

The ownership of canal, road, bund and drain strips and Block forests vests with

the Punjab Government whereas that of Railway Strips vests with the Central Government. The

Strips have been transferred to the Punjab Forest Department for management vide Govt. Letter

1.12 RIGHTS AND CONCESSIONS:

The ownership of the forests vests with State Govt. People do not have any rights

over the forest areas except limited right of way. Block Forest areas are free from rights and

concessions,

1.13 ENCROACHMENTS:

Most of the forest areas are in the shape of linear strips and along the

cultivated fields. Farmers are often tempted to encroach upon the Government land. However,

permanent boundary pillars along railway lines, canals and roads enable the department to keep

this menace under check. Information regarding land plans can further help in detecting

encroachments in time end taking remedial measures. The state Government vide its notification

No. 32 Leg./2004 dated 26.10.2004 has withdrawn the powers of collectors under P.P. act from

the Divisional Forest Officers. As a result a lot of cases are pending in the courts of SDMs and

the problem of encroachment is not being taken care of properly.

Most of the evacuee lands are under encroachment from a long time. Some of the

evacuee lands never came under possession of the forest department and were transferred to the

forest department only on paper.

25

CHAPTER - II

THE FORESTS

2.1 THE COMPOSITION AND THE CONDITION OF THE CROP:

Before the Forest Department took over management of these forests, they were

in the shape of scattered patches and uneven in age group. The original scrub vegetation is still

found in some areas. The scrub vegetation comprises of the following species:

1. Van (Salvadora oleoides)

2. Jand (Prosopis specigera)

3. Beri (Zizyphus mauritiana)

These forests fall under the type of "Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests". The under

growth consists of Malha (Zizyphus numularia), Hins (Capparis sepiaria) and few other thorny

shrubs.

Over Wood

The over wood is mainly composed of Dalbergia sissoo (Shisham). Acacia nilotica,

Acacia tortillas (Kikar/Babul),Eucalyptus hybrid,Terminalia arjuna (Arjan), Mangifera indica

(Mango), Morus alba (Toot), Syzygiumcumini (Jamun), Albizzia lebbek (Siris),

There is scattered presence of other species like Ficus benghalensis (Bohar), Ficus

religiosa (pipal), Butea monosperma (Dhak), Poplar species, Zizyphus mauritiana (Beri),

Bombax ceiba (Simal) and Cassiaspecies.

Under Growth

It consists of Zizyphus nummularia (Mallah), Artemisia scoparia (Jhau), Calotropis

procera (Auk), Capparis sepiaria (Mins) Cannabis sativa (Bhang), Capparis aphylla (Karir),

Carissa spinarum (Karonda), Cassia tora (Panwar), Lantana camara (Punj Phulli) and Adhatoda

vasica (Basuti).

Ground Flora

It comprises of number of grasses, herbs and shrubs. Most of the strips especially the

water logged and low-lying areas, bear dense growth of Kana and Kahi (Sachrum spp.). Cynodon

dactylon (Khabbal) is found in unfavorable and moderately grazed areas. Cenchrus species

(Amjan) grows in sandy places, Desmostachya bipinnata (Daby) flourishes under dry conditions.

26

Panni (Vetiveria zizanioides) is met in heavy soils which get flooded, and Buter (Typha

elephentina) grows in water logged sites. Areas which have slight salinity carry Aristoda species,

and highly saline areas are devoid of grass growth. Sariala is also found in strip areas.

Weeds

The most common weeds encountered are Parthenium hysterophorus, Lantana camara

and Amaranthus retrofiexus. Typha angustata (paatiru) and Eichhornia crassipes (water

hyacinth) are commonly found in stagnant water on stretches and indicates permanent water

logging conditions. Prosopis juliflora has also invaded certain strips primarily in saline areas

Status of Natural Regeneration

The condition of natural regeneration is very poor and in some places almost non-

existent. The condition is worse in strips subject to high biotic pressure and interference. No

significant effort was made to regenerate the areas naturally during the last few decades.

2.2 Injuries to which crop is liable

2.2.1 Natural calamity

2.2.1.1 Fire

During summer months, the forest fires are a regular feature in the forests. The forests

having thick growth of kana, kahi and dhab grasses have the danger of forest fires in the hot

season. Forest fires also occur after the harvesting season when the farmers in the adjoining areas

burn their agricultural residue in fields and the fire extends to the forest areas.

2.2.1.2 Drought:

In the dry and hot months from April-June, the drought causes considerable damage to

young plantations. Prolonged winter drought also causes damage to young crops. The effects of

frost are more severe in case of winter droughts. In saline soils, physiological drought due to

high content of salts in soil causes considerable damage to the plantations. This situation could

be averted by irrigation wherever possible.

2.2.1.3 Frosts

Due to heavy frost, the seedlings of Neem, Kikar, Teak and Mango get damaged. In

saline patches, the crop gets affected to a greater extent.

27

2.2.2 Grazing

Grazing and browsing is a sever threat to the young plantations in the strip forests as the

adjoining fields are cultivated and cattle have no other place for grazing. The major reason for

this grazing pressure is the shrinking of pasture areas in the village common lands due to

changed land-use pattern. Though the percentage of migrant grazers coming from neighboring

states like Rajasthan is relatively low, their effect is quite drastic. This practice of permitting of

grazing has to be discouraged and should be strictly enforced in future also as the damage caused

by grazing and browsing is very high.

The measures to control the menace of grazing should be discussed in the Chapter of

Miscellaneous Regulations (Chapter XIV).

2.2.3 Insects and pests

In the previous Working Plan period insect and pest attack was severe in Kikar and

Shisham and there was a large scale casualty of these species. The department had engaged a

team of scientists from Y.S.Parmar University, Solan, Himachal Pradesh to study the occurrence

of drying of these species. The study report has attributed this mortality to combination of factors

like change in climate, depletion of ground water level apart from pests and diseases.

2.2.4 Illicit Felling

There is a tendency of the farmers to remove trees along their fields from the strips/ block

forest and gradually encroach upon Government land. The local people also cut trees to meet

their requirements of timber. The intensity of this type of felling is high near the towns and

villages. Apart from this, organized gang of illicit fellers are also present in the Ferozepur forest

division. The incidences of illicit feling are more frequent during winter season.

28

CHAPTER - III

UTlLIZATION OF THE FOREST PRODUCE

3.1 Agricultural Customs and Wants of the People:

The local population is mostly dependent upon agriculture and there is a heavy demand

of fuel wood and small timber for agricultural implements. Besides these, there is demand of

good timber for furniture making, house construction, bodyfbuilding of trucks and buses, making

sports goods etc. A number of wood based industries have come up in the state and the demand

for forest based raw materials is likely to grow up many fold.

3.2 Marketable products:

The timber, which is normally traded for furniture and general construction work are

Shisham, Eucalyptus and Kikar. Kikar is used for making agricultural implements. Eucalyptus

wood is used for battens, construction, and in making crates. These are in great demand in

Punjab and neighboring states. Poplar wood is being sought for matchstick, Plywood and

packing industry. Mulberry wood is used by the sports goods industry in Jalandhar. Eucalyptus

billets are supplied to a paper mill. New units of plywood and hard board have also come up

which use Poplar, Mango and even Eucalyptus as raw material. 'Kana' and 'Kahi' are the two

grasses used for paper manufacturing and electricity generation through Biomass energy plants.

For firewood, generally, kikar, eucalyptus and lops and tops of Shisham are used by the local

people.

3.3 Lines of Export:

A network of link roads and district roads connect with the National Highway No.10 and

15 passing through the Ferozepur Forest Division. Similarly the Northern Railway has a good

network of railway lines in the Division. Therefore there is enough communication

infrastructures available for the export of material even to long distances outside the state.

29

3.4 Methods of Exploitation and their Costs:

Exploitation of timber is done through two agencies- the Forest Department, which marks

the trees that are to be felled and the Punjab State Forest Development Corporation, who does

the actual felling. Felling, conversion and transportation are done on mechanical and economical

basis. Imported tools and machinery like power chain saws have been introduced for this

purpose. Local labour is also employed for felling, conversion, logging, transport and loading.

All these activities are the responsibility of the PSFDC once the marking list of the trees is

handed over to them. The Forest Department gets royalty on various trees exploited or sold by

the Corporation.

Sometimes when the Corporation is not in a position to cut all the trees offered, then

these trees are sold through open auctions conducted from time to time.

The minimum prices of timber and other wood of different species are fixed by the

PSFDC and are revised from time to time to keep pace with the market trends of the open

market. The prevalent price as fixed by the PSFDC is enclosed for reference:

3.5 Past and current prices:-

Generally the round timber of all sizes and lengths brought to the market by local people,

is sold by quintals. The people are more interested in bringing the timber to market as soon as

they fell the trees without losing the moisture and thus to get more weight age. However, the

Punjab State Forest Development Corporation Ltd. sells the round and sawn timber by volume

only. The rates of timber have increased manifold in the past decades. Two factors viz.

increasing demand and inadequate available of timber have played evidently big role for such

rise.

The rates for the supply of Timber, Firewood, Sawdust, Ballons and lop & top to Govt.

Semi Govt. Deptt. and other educational, Social, Religious, Institutions are hereby fixed as under

vide Punjab Govt. Department of Forest & Wildlife Preservation’s letter No. 43/21/07-Ft –

STAFF AND LABOUR SUPPLY

4.1 STAFF:

The forests covered under this Working plan fall in five Ranges of Ferozepur

Forest Division. These are Zira, Ferozepur, Fazilka, Jalalabad and Abohar. These are being

controlled by the D.F.O, from District Headquarters (Ferozepur). Since the work load has

increased due to the various development schemes, the staff in the Ranges is not adequate. The

present position of the staff in the five ranges and Divisional Office is given in the Table

No.5.The present position of staff in the Ferozepur Forest Division is very meager. Due to

shortage of field staff it is very difficult to protect the forest as such. Therefore it is strongly

recommended that the sanctioned strength of staff should immediately be given in the interest of

Protection, Conservation and Development of forests. In absense of official staff the functioning

of important branches like Accounts, Establishment, Revenue etc suffer a lot, therefore it is

strongly recommended that sanctioned strength of official staff shall be provided immediately.

CHAPTER-V

PAST SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT

5.1 General History of Forest

Prior to the transfer of Strip Forests to the Forest Department in 1957, these were

managed by the respective departments. After transfer of these strips to the forest department, the

strips were taken for plantation works.

Apart from the strip forests, Punjab Government vide memo no. 2928-Ft-71/3934 dated

15.10.1971 transferred an area of 3541 acres 4 canal, 13 Marlas (1434 Ha) Gair Mumkin

Evacuee land to the Punjab Forest Department for raising plantations. Out of the above, major

chunk was in Ferozepur forest division. There is a major problem of encroachment on this forest.

5.2 Past Systems of Management

Previous working plans i.e. RC Bhagat’s working plan (1987-1999) and Dharminder Sharma’s

Working plans (2000-01-2009-10) have prescribed five working circles i.e. Canal Working

Circle, Rail Working Circle, Road Working Circle, Drain and Bund Working Circle and Block

Working Circle. It is observed that although yield has been prescribed but suggested green

felling as per the prescriptions have not been applied to these working circles. The felling of only

the dead and dried trees and that required for development purpose (under approved cases of

Forest Conservation Act, 1980) has been carried out.

These working plans have primarily concentrated in improving the stocking of these forests

through plantations.

5.3 Inter Departmental Rules

Planting along the strips by the Forest Department is subject to Inter-Departmental Rules.

According the these Rules,11m(35ft) width from the center of the road is to be left unplanted on

both sides of National Highways and 9.5 m (30ft) on roads other than National Highways. Along

Railways the distance of the first row is to be 7.5 m (25ft) from the center of the line. No

planting is to be done inside of the curves, on the slopes of the embankments and within 100 m

length of unmanned crossings.

39

By and large, inter-departmental rules have been observed. Planting under high power

transmission lines and telephone lines has been avoided for obvious reasons. However, there is

no harm in utilizing such sites for planting of small sized ornamental trees and shrubs.

5.4 Special works of improvement :

During the last working plan period, large scale plantations of Shisham, Neem, Drek,

Teak, Toon, Arjun etc. have been carried out. Large scale plantations have been carried out in the

JBIC project from 1999 to 2005. The success of these plantations have been mixed, where ever

these plantations have established successfully. A certain amount of thinning and other cultural

operations is prescribed to improve the productivity of these forests.

5.5 Past revenue and expenditure: Past revenue and expenditure are given in table no. 6

It is pertinent to mention here that the expenditure pertains to works only.

5.5 Past Yield:

The focus in the past two plans has been on being very conservative in prescribing yield

and primarily only dead and dried trees have been felled apart from the trees felled for the

developmental activities.

5.8 Critical review of previous working plan:

The general objectives of the past working plan seem to have been achieved. The

introduction of five working circles viz. road working circle, canal working circle, rail working

circle and Bund/drain working circle is fully justified. The basic purpose of creating these 5

working circles was to monitor and assess the progress of plantations under each category of

strip, and it has been achieved to a considerable extent. It has increased the stocking of a

particular reach of strip according to its capacity and locality factors, rather than enforcing

uniformity of a particular species.

The success of the working plan is indicated by the fact that the total growing stock has

marginally increased. In the previous working plan the growing stock was 327813 m3 while

current the growing stock is 345996 m3. However the growing shock of kikar has decreased

from 146464 m3 to 101858 m3. This can be attributed mainly to large scale mortality of kikar in

recent periods, a phemenon frequent in the northern India. The growing stock of Eucalyptus has

increased during the previous working plan period.

Over the period of working plan, even the growing stock of individual species has shown

an increasing trend except for Shisham and kikar. The decline in the growing stock of Shisham

has specific reasons as of increase in the volume of the dead, dry or fallen Shisham trees over

43

these years and this volume had to be disposed off although no felling of green Shisham were

prescribed in the working plan.

On the whole, the silvicultural systems proposed by the working plan have been

followed. Other recommendations like rotation, marking rules, methods of executing felling and

planting rules etc. have been followed in all the five working circles. Due to increase in volume

of dead dry trees, there has been almost no working of green trees as per working plan

prescriptions.

Sh. Dharmender Sharma had recommended raising of Eucalyptus for house construction,

furniture and coppice for fuel wood. Keeping in view that area under indigenous species is very

less, it is recommended that Shisham, which is the state tree and also a good timber be planted in

better areas instead of Eucalyptus. Government forests should not be used for short rotation

species that are being raised by the farmers and Government should not be a competitor of the

farmers.

Growth & Yield Statistics

6.1 GENERAL:

The forests of this Division, strips as well as blocks have varied types of soils. No

growth data regarding any type of spp. is available. The growth of various species varies

according to the locality factors. Hence, general volume tables for all the species applicable to all

area of the state has been adopted.

6.2 GENERAL VOLUME TABLE

The volume table applicable for all the species in the reproduced as under:

Table 6.1

The above table has been applied for the calculation of growing stock for the

working plan.

6.3 KIKAR:

The existing plantations are mainly of middle to mature age of Kikar and

Eucalyptus. Growth of the same species varies with the change of locality factors such as soil

and irrigation facilities. It is seen that Kikar raised along the roads, canals and drains achieves

better girth than that raised along the Railway tracks.

6.4 SHISHAM:

The Research and Training Division, Punjab has carried out study of various

Shisham Plantations in the state and the volume table for different-diameter classes has been

compiled. The same is as follows:

6.6 MEAN ANNUAL INCREMENT:

The mean annual increment Is useful for determining the rotation of a species. For

Shisham rotation has been fixed at 60 years. Kikar is mostly utilised for batons, pallets,

agricultural implements, fuel wood etc. Eucalyptus is also utilized for above purposes, in

addition its wood is utilized in copper smelter, paper and pulp scaffolding materials etc. These

46

species are grown to get maximum volume in shortest possible time. Therefore, rotation for

Eucalyptus and Kikar has been fixed at 25 years.

According to I.D. Mohindru's yield table for Kikar (Pb. Forest record Vol. II) total volume (cft)and MAl in Cft/acre/year for various quality classes of Kikar is as under:-

Table 6.4

PART - II

FUTURE MANAGEMENT

DISCUSSED AND PRESCRIBED

48

CHAPTER -I

BASIS OF PROPOSAL

1.1 General objectives of management

In conformity to the National Forest Policy 1988 and the fact that the area under tree

cover is very low in this division, general objects of management of this working plan

shall be as under.

1. To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livelihood opportunities to the

local communities and conservation & restoration of biodiversity.

2 To conserve and enhance the existing tree cover through afforestation of suitable

indigenous species, as per site condition.

3 To increase the productivity of forests to meet the bonafide needs of local people of fuel wood and fodder.

4 To produce high quality timber trees of various species by adopting improved techniques

and silvicultural measures.

5 To create favorable habitat conditions for protection and development of wildlife.

6 To increase the comfort of road users by providing shade and aesthetic view through

avenue plantations along road side.

7 To enhance the aesthetic value of forests i.e., to provide landscape value to the countryside.8 In consistent with above objectives of management, to provide maximum sustained yield

and revenue to the department.

1.2 Methods of treatment to be adopted

1.2.1 General principles

In order to achieve the above objectives various treatments based on the silvicultural

requirements of species and potential productivity of site are necessary. Based on these two, the

treatments are outlined as below.

Over the years many plantations have been raised in strips as well as in the block forests.

Natural regeneration of various species has also been taking place to some extent

simultaneously and some failures have been observed, necessitating the re-planting of the

area. Due to these reasons, most of the strips have mixture of species and age gradations

with intermittent scattered blank patches. Most of the compartments have some blank

patches, which need planting; some dense crops of pole require thinning, some over-mature,

49

diseased trees are required to be removed while some young regeneration needs to be

tended. Under these circumstances it is being proposed to treat the compartment as a whole

and carry out all the operations which are required according to the silvicultural

requirements of the various species, while the blanks will be planted keeping in view the

locality factors of the area. This treatment will help in stocking the compartment fully.

The forest area will be treated scientifically and stocked systematically with suitable species

e.g. shisham, arjan, kikar, neem, drek, jamun, siris, teak, ficus species etc.

On road strips, long rotation crops such as shisham, jamun, and neem etc. shall be planted

wherever possible. Tall plants may be planted on roadside because of the difficult site

conditions. Canal strips should invariably be used for planting irrigated crops and trees of

economic value, as assured irrigation facilities are available. On bunds, drains and escapes,

hardy and drought resistant species like kikar, khair, and even Eucalyptus may be planted.

Waterlogged areas may be planted with species like Arjun, Jamun, Willow, and Eucalyptus

etc.

Areas near habitation shall be taken up for planting by providing tree guards or by using

barbed wire fencing. The choice of species in these areas shall be done in consultation with

local people.

Low lying areas will be treated by raising suitable species on ridges and mounds of earth to

protect these from floods during rainy season.

Areas where soil is saline/alkaline will be reforested with suitable species by using soil

amendments like gypsum, manure etc.,

Thinning and improvement fallings will be carried out wherever necessary for the

betterment of the crop.

For development of wildlife especially of avifauna, fruit bearing trees like Ficus and jamun

etc., shall be planted.

The natural regeneration of the species shall be adopted and tended.

Suitable species shall be planted to reclaim alkaline/saline areas.

Plantations as for as possible shall be irrigated.

1.2.2 Management of Wildlife in Forest

Two important wildlife sanctuaries namely Abohar wildlife sanctuary and Harike wildlife

sanctuary are located in the Ferozepur division. Issues related to Harike wildlife sanctuary and

50

Abohar wildlife sanctuary is managed by the DFO Wildlife, Ferozepur. These areas should be

managed as per the approved management plans for these sanctuaries. The demarcation of eco-

sensitive zones as per the recent judgment of honorable Supreme Court can however be done

jointly by the territorial DFO as well as DFO wildlife.

Further, there is presence of Nilgai and Hog dear in the block forest of Chak Sakar. It is

worth mentioning, here that the presence of wildlife is almost negligible in areas other than in

Sanctuaries or block forests. Therefore, this working Plan does not feel the necessity to treat the

wild life in a separate working Circle and prescribe specific management. This will however,

will be an overlapping working circle as per the National Working Plan Code.

The division is important from the point of view of avifauna as it supports a good

number of birds population – aquatic, terrestrial as well as arboreal. The presence of water, tall

weeds, grasses, reeds and dead, dry trees make these areas very conducive for the avifauna

population.

In order to protect and harbour this population of wild life it should be ensured that,

1 Fruit trees along such strips are retained.

2 Some dead, dry trees which form the nesting place for the birds are retained.

3 Protection from fire by removing the dry grasses and other inflammable materials

from the surrounding area.

4 Protection from illegal poaching and prosecuting offenders strictly as per

provisions of the Wild Life protection Act, 1972.

Spreading of awareness among the people, especially amongst the nearby areas,

regarding the importance of wild life, the responsibility of people towards conservation as well

as consequences in case of violations.

1.3 CONSTITUTION OF WORKING CIRCLES

1.3.1 Constitution of Working Circles:

General guiding principal for the constitution of working circle shall be as follows.

All strips along the National Highway and state roads shall constitute road working circle

except the areas that are part of eucalyptus working circle.

51

Crop in this circle in general is irregular in respect of composition, density and age. In many

road strips there is a middle aged mixed crop with some gaps in and near habitation while in

some areas the crop reaching the maturity.

Due to the overall usefulness of the species, shisham will be preserved for future use. For

shisham only dead, dry trees will be marked for felling.

In case of avenue lines, trees leaning towards road and having traffic hazard or hazard to life

and property shall be marked for felling irrespective of species.

Trees on the boundary of farmers should not be marked as otherwise strip is likely to be

encroached by the farmers.

Many strips along many National Highways/State highways have been diverted for road

widening. To achieve the general object of management i.e. to increase the aesthetic value of the

county side, ornamental species should be planted.

Efforts should be made to restore the strips and to increase the green cover on the road sides

near the habitation area.

In order to achieve the general objectives of this Working Plan and keeping in

view the method of treatment to be adopted, the following working circles are proposed in the

current working plan.

1. Roads Working Circle

2. Canals Working Circle

3. Drains/Bunds/Escapes Working Circle

4. Rail Working Circle

5. Block Forest Working Circle

6. Eucalyptus working circle

7. Plantation (overlapping) working circle

8. Joint Forest Management (overlapping) working circle

9. NTFP (overlapping) working circle

10. Wild Life Management (overlapping) working circle

11. Forest Protection (overlapping) working circle

52

1.4 Blocks and Compartments:

Each strip on either side would constitute a block. Each block is further divided into

compartments. A compartment in strip will constitute 5 kms or part thereof on either side it can

be replaced by 20 RDs in case of canals, drains and bunds.

1.5 Calculation of Yield:

Yield should be calculated in each circle separately.

Rotation: For calculation of yield rotation of main trees shall be followed as under :-

Table I-1

Species Rotation (years) Exploitable Girth(cm.)Shisham 60 180

Kikar 30 105Euc 25 130

Misc. 60 180

The yield shall be controlled by volume and the annual coup shall be worked out accordingly

Von Mantel's Formula will be used to calculate the yield of each species separately as follows :-

Y = 2V/r

Where

Y = Annual yield in cubic metres.

V = Growing stock in cubic metres

r = Rotation of the species in years.

According to the policy of the Government of Punjab no green shisham trees shall be

felled. However, yield for shisham has been prescribed keeping in view the volume of the

species available annually in the past years. So that it does not affect the overall felling program.

Care has been taken to prescribe the felling of mature crops of mulberry and popular.

1.6 PERIOD OF WORKING PLAN:

The period of the working plan shall be 15 years from 2010-2011 to 2024-2025 and the

mid-term review shall be done during the eighth year.

53

2.3 CHARACTER OF VEGETATION:

The crop in general is irregular and is mostly a mixture of Shisham, Kikar, Neem

& Eucalyptus. In some areas Eucalyptus has been grown as pure crop. Shisham is mostly pole to

middle aged mixed with Kikar & Eucalyptus. Regeneration of Shisham at favourable sites

63

through root suckers is observed. A few successful shisham plantations have been raised in this

working circle. Some sites where plantations have not shown encouraging growth are the result

of biotic interference. These areas need special efforts for making the plantation a success. Tall

plants can be planted in low lying areas. Special efforts of protection like barbed wire fencing on

all the roads should be made to ensure the success of plantations.

2.4 ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE CROP:

In this division, enumeration up to 30 Cms. girth has been carried out during

2009-10, on the basis of which growing stock of the Division has been estimated. The increment

put on after the enumeration has not been accounted for while calculating the yield, thus some

additional volume will be available in future,

The detail of the growing stock (species wise) is given Table No. II-2

2.5 METHOD OF TREATMENT:

The emphasis will be laid on the complete treatment of a particular compartment

according to the silvicultural requirements and its land capability. Shisham stock will be

preserved as its regeneration is not satisfactory. No felling will be carried out in avenue line. In

these areas only dead & dry trees will be felled. Avenue lines will be planted with ornamental

shade bearing & fruit trees. Coppice obtained from Eucalyptus will be supplemented by artificial

planting to stock the area completely.

A provenance trial of eucalyptus and kikar has been conducted at Pyariana and

Talwandi respectively at Ludhiana-Ferozepur road in year 1991-92. Mature crop is standing at

both the places. Proper efforts shall be taken to take these provenance trial to a logical

conclusion. Felling in areas will be taken up one year in advance before planting.

2.6 THE SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM:

Considering the declining tree cover due to heavy drying up of trees, selection

cum improvement felling system is proposed.

2.7 ROTATION:

The rotations of the various species and exploitable girth at the end of the rotation is as

under:

2.8 CALCULATION OF YIELD:

The yield will be controlled by volume. The annual coupe shall be worked out as

per silvicultural requirements and land capability. As per Von Mantels formula, the yield of

Shisham, Kikar, Eucalyptus and Misc. species can be prescribed for felling as under:

Y= 2V/r

V= Species wise growing stock.

r = Rotation of the species in years. .

Y= Annual Yield in m3

132.66 1111.69 1144.44 486.04 2874.83

Therefore, total prescribed yield for felling from Road Working Circle is

2874.83 m3. If this yield is not obtained from dead dry trees then remaining yield should be

obtained from Mesquite, Acacia tortallis, Eucalyptus, Kikar and other trees in this order.

Mesquite shall be replaced by some suitable indigenous species. Wherever mesquite has invaded

the ground flora, it should be uprooted before planting. On the other hand where young

65

plantations have already come up under mesquite, the mesquite trees should be marked for

felling so that growth of indigenous species can be enhanced.

The yield of each species to be felled annually has been tabulated on priority

basis. The priority list of strips in each working circle has been given and officer not below rank

of Range officer will mark trees from these strips after deduction volume obtained from dead,

dry and development works felling.

2.9 MARKING RULES:

The following marking rules are to be observed:

i) All the trees in the annual coupe will be marked for felling except the following:

a) Avenue line on each side of the road..

b) Advance growth in compact groups of Kikar & Eucalyptus upto 30 cm. girth.

c) All healthy ornamental, fruit and Misc. trees such as Bohar, Pipal, Drek, Tun,

Jamun etc.

d) Trees required for defence purposes.

ii) All dead, dry and wind fallen trees will be marked for felling.

iii) All trees obstructing traffic should be marked for felling.

iv) No green Shisham shall be marked for felling unless it is threat to life and property.

v) Wherever mesquite has invaded the ground flora, it should be uprooted before planting.

vi) On the other hand where young plantations have already come up under mesquite, the

mesquite tree should be marked for felling so that growth of indigenous species can be

improved.

vii)Mulberry over 60 cm. girth and popular above 90 cm girth shall be marked for felling.

viii) Avenue line along all roads shall be worked on physical rotation.

ix) All trees dangerous to life and property may be marked for removal by Divisional Forest

Officer .

x) Diseased trees will be marked for felling if required.

xi) The marking should be limited to the extent that it does not exceed the limit of volume

given in table No. 15.

xii)Thinning can be carried out if necessary

66

xiii) Standard trees on the boundary of farmers shall be left while marking so as to act as

demarcation pillers.

2.10 METHOD OF EXECUTING FELLING:

1 Care should be taken to avoid damage to the transmission lines and young growth at the

time of felling.

2 Trees should be felled away from the road or parallel to the road to avoid blockade of the

road.

3 Pits formed after the felling should be filled properly.

4 Eucalyptus should be cut as far as possible 10 cms. above the ground level.

5 Felling of Eucalyptus in hot season from 15th April to 30th June should not be allowed

because the coppice regeneration is poor in hot summer.

2.11 PLANTING PROGRAMME: .

i) Shade bearing and flowering trees shall be planted on National & State

Highways, Minor and Link Road planting of one species in a particular stretch

should be done

ii) While carrying out plantation works inter-departmental rules must be observed.

iii) Planting of fruit and ornamental trees should be done along with other economic

species.

iv) 1-2 trees of shade bearing species such as Pipal and Bohar should be planted in

every Km. They will provide shade for travelers and fruits for birds as well as

enhance the aesthetic value of roads.

v) The area felled in a particular year shall be taken up for planting during the

next year and the planting programme shall be prepared by D.F.O. (Territorial)

in the same year and got approved by the competent authority.

vi) The felling should commensurate with planting and enough funds shall be made

available for planting.

CHAPTER - III

CANAL WORKING CIRCLE


The Canal working circle includes all the areas along canals, distributaries and

minors which are under the control of Forest Department except for the strips/compartments

which are part of eucalyptus working circle. It covers an area of 3278.96 ha. The Main Canal

Systems are Ferozepur Feeder, Sirhind Feeder, Eastern Canal, Main Branch Canal, Bikaner

Canal, Sidhwan Branch Canal and Abohar Branch Canal,. The Rajasthan canal passes through

the Ferozepur Distt. but at present it is not under the control of Forest Department. Negotiation is

going on between the Irrigation Department and Forest Department regarding plantation over the

Rajasthan feeder.



1 To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livelihood opportunities to

the local communities along with conservation and restoration of biodiversity.

2 To improve the density and quality of forest cover by planting economically

important tree species and adopting silvicultural techniques.

3 To provide wood for agricultural implements, house construction and raw material

for wood based industries.

4 To retain and plant such trees that may provide food and shelter to the Wildlife.

5 To stabilize and strengthen the bunds, embankments etc. along canals, drains, rivers

and other anti flood measures.

6 Consistent with the above said objects of management to provide for progressively

maximum sustained yield.

3.2 BLOCK AND COMPARTMENTS:

On the whole the composition is mainly mixed crop stands of Eucalyptus,

Shisham, Kikar and Miscellaneous species along Bikaner canal, AB Canal, Main Branch Canal

and Sirhind feeder. On drier sites the main crop is kikar mixed with miscellaneous species.

Shisham and fruits trees are scattered in these areas. On the whole the crop is irregular in respect

of age, density and composition. Natural regeneration of various species is generally deficient

due to biotic interference and lack of moisture in the forest floor.

3.4 ANALYSIS OF THE CROP AND EVALUATION:

The growing stock has been enumerated upto 30 cms. Girth (O.B). The Detail of

the growing stock has been calculated and given in the Table No. III-2


The compartment as a whole will be subjected to treatment according to its

silvicultral requirements. The Shisham stock is to be maintained as its regeneration is not

keeping pace with the intensity of the felling. Only dead, dry, diseased and malformed shisham

trees will be marked for felling. Coppice obtained from Eucalyptus felling should be protected

and supplemented with Eucalyptus plants.

81

Since canal strips have good facility of irrigation, good quality Shisham plantations along

with clonal eucalyptus can be thought of in the blank areas.

Trees on the boundary of farmer's field should not be marked to demarcate strip area with

farmer's field.

Trees dangerous for the maintenance of canal should also be marked for felling.

Light thinning can be prescribed in the working circle where crop has become too dense.

The felling should commensurate with planting and enough funds shall be made available for

planting

3.6 SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM:

Selection cum Improvement system of felling shall be followed.

The yield is to be controlled by volume. The annual coupe shall be worked out as

per silvicultural requirements and land capability. The Von Mantels formula regulates the yield

of Shisham,Eucalyptus, Kikar and Misc. as under:- .

y= 2V/r

V = Species wise growing stock

r = Rotation of the species in years.

Y = Annual Yield in cubic meters as per calculations.

Therefore, total yield prescribed or felling from Canal Working Circle is half of total

yield i.e. 4367.09 m3. The average annual cut has been prescribed on a very conservative side as

per instructions contained in the guide lines for the preparation of the working plan.

The details of the volume to be felled from 2010-11 to 2024-25 has been given in the

Table No. III-4. Officer not below rank of Range officer will mark trees from green stock after

deducting the volume of dry & fallen trees and trees felled on account of development works.

The Divisional Forest Officer territorial should note that green and dead, dry, diseased and

departmental felling should not exceed to average annual volume prescribed for felling except

where the trees become dangerous to life and property. In cases where the felling is becoming

more than prescribed a deviation should be got approved from higher authorities.

3.9 MARKING RULES:

I) All trees except following shall be marked for felling

a) Avenue line along the service road of the main canals.

83

b) Advance growth of all species in groups upto 30 Cms. girth.

c) All healthy ornamental trees, fruit trees and Pipal, Bohar trees.

d) Trees required for defence purposes.

ii) All dead, dry and diseased trees shall be marked.

iii) Trees obstructing traffic will be marked.

iv) Green standing Shisham trees shall not be marked for felling.

v) Mulberry over 60 Cm girth may be marked for felling.

vi) Diseased trees will be marked for felling only after personal inspection of DFO.

vii) All trees on the inner slope of canal should be marked for felling, irrespective of species,

as they can damage the lining of canal.

viii) All trees posing problem in deploying or operation of machinery by the irrigation

department for maintenance or cleaning of canals should be marked for felling.

ix) All trees which are planted against inter departmental rule can be jointly marked by

Forest Department and Irrigation Department for felling.

3.10 METHOD OF EXECUTING FELLINGS:

i) Care should be taken to avoid damage to the transmission, electric lines and the young

growth at the time of felling.

ii) Trees should be felled away from the service road or parallel to the road to avoid

blockade.

iii) Big trees should be lopped before felling to avoid damage to young regeneration.

iv) All the pits should be filled with earth after felling.

v) Eucalyptus should be cut in slanting position about 10 Cms. above the ground level for

proper coppice growth.

vi) No felling of Eucalyptus should be allowed between 15th April to 30th June.

vii)The felling should commensurate with planting and enough funds shall be made available

for planting

3.11 PLANTING RULES:

i) Fast growing timber species should be planted in this working circle for maximum

productivity.

ii) Inter-departmental rules may be observed while carrying out plantations.

84

iii) Valuable tree species such as Teak, Shisham Eucalyptus etc. should be given preference.

iv) The area felled in a particular year shall be taken up for planting during the next year and

the programme shall be prepared by D.F.O. (Territorial) in the same year and got

approved by the competent authority.

v) 1-2 trees of shade bearing species such as Pipal and Bohar should be planted in every

Kilometers. They will provide shade for travelers and fruit for birds as well as enhance

the aesthetic value

On the whole condition of the crop is irregular in respect of density, age, composition,

etc. The main species are Kikar, Neem, Burma Drek, Acacia tortallis with patches of Eucalyptus,

Jand (Prosopis cineraria) and scattered trees of Shisham and Siris. Some of the areas are blank.

4.4 ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF CROP:

In Ferozepur Forest Division enumeration down to 30 Cms. girth has been carried out

during the year 2009-2010 and on the basis of this the growing stock has been calculated.

The detail of growing stock of has been calculated and is given in Table IV-2


As already stated, emphasis will be on complete treatment of a particular compartment

according to the silvicultural requirements and land capability. Shisham, which is very rare in

this working circle, should not be felled at all, as the regeneration even otherwise is not keeping

pace with the past felling of this species. Only dead & dry trees may be marked for felling.

Planting of flowering trees and bushes at some points such as crossing of roads should be done.

Coppice obtained from Eucalyptus should be supplemented with Eucalyptus bag plants to stock

the area.The felling should commensurate with planting and enough funds shall be made

available for planting


Silvicultural system shall be selection cum improvement.

. The cut has been prescribed on very conservative side as per instructions contained in

the guide lines for the preparation of the working plan. This will include the volume of dead, dry

and fallen trees along with volume obtained from the silvicultural thinning. The volume removed

in some other developmental works should also be included.

4.9 MARKING RULES:

The following marking rules are prescribed:

I) All the trees in the annual Coupe will be marked for felling except the following:

a) All healthy ornamental and fruit trees including Bohar and Pipal.

b) Advance growth of all species in compact groups upto 30 Cms. girth.

c) Trees required for defence purposes.

II) All dead, dry and wind fallen trees will be marked for felling.

III) Green Standing trees of shisham shall not be marked for felling.

IV) Diseased trees will be marked for felling only after personal inspection of DFO.

94

V) Light thinning can be prescribed in the working circle where crop has become too dense.

VI) All trees on the inner slope of bunds & drains should be marked for felling, irrespective of

species, as they can damage the lining of bunds & drains.

VII All trees posing problem in deploying or operation of machinery by the irrigation

department for maintenance or cleaning of bunds & drains should be marked for felling.

VIII All trees which are planted against inter departmental rule can be jointly marked by Forest

Department and Irrigation Department for felling.

4.10 METHOD OF EXECUTING FELLING:

i) Care should be taken to avoid damage to the transmission lines, electric lines while

felling.

ii) No felling of Eucalyptus to be carried out in hot season from 15th April to 30th June.

iii) Eucalyptus should be cut in slanting fashion about 10 cms. above the ground level for

better coppicing.

iv) All the pits should be filled with earth after felling.


1 The relatively better areas will be planted up with kikar and other species.

2. Given the general dry conditions, species which are drought resistant like Kikar, Neem,

Acacia tortallis, etc. will also be planted in order to green the mostly barren areas of this

working circle.

3. Planting will be done as per inter departmental rules.

4. The DFO will make a detailed scheme of planting and will get it approval from the

Conservator of Forest.

The general character of vegetation in this working circle is scattered, irregular in respect of

age, density and composition ie. Shisham, eucalyptus and Kikar with a few miscellaneous

trees. Some of the good planting sites have been given to railway employees under grow

more food campaign. These areas continue to be with the employees.

Due to strict rules of railway safety some areas cannot be planted. Areas affected by

water logged conditions need to be planted up with ridges and furrows and with salt tolerant

species.

100

5.4 ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE CROP:

The growing stock has been calculated on the basis of the enumeration carried out

during 2009-10 upto 30 cms. girth (O.B.). The details of the growing stock are given in TABLE

V-2


Treatment is to be given to the whole compartments according to the silvicultural

requirements and land capability. Shisham will be preferred for future and only dead dry

diseased and wind fallen shisham is to be marked for felling. However thinning in the dense

Shisham crop may be done for better growth. Only those areas should be felled where there is no

problem of regeneration/reforestation.


The silvicultural system shall be selection cum improvement system.

CHAPTER - VI

THE BLOCK FOREST WORKING CIRCLE


This working circle comprises of all the block forests in the Ferozepur & Fazilka

Districts. These are mostly wet areas along or near the river beds. All areas under the block

forests shall constitute of this working circle. The main area under block forest are Chak Sarkar

at Mamdot and Chak Sarkar Mohaji Bage ke at Jalalabad. The total area allotted to his working

circle is 1198.50 ha.



1. To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livlihood opportunities to

the local communities and conservation and restoration of biodiversity.

2. To create favourable conditions for protection and development of wildlife.

3. To increase the growing stock for production of timber, fuel wood and fodder to

meet the needs of the local population.

6.3 ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF CROP:

The crop mainly consists of Shisham. Eucalyptus, Kikar and Mulberry, Khair, Bill,

Paper Mulberry, Ber and other species like Neem, Drek have been tried in the recent years. The

crop is irregular in respect of age and density. Enumeration has been carried out in the Block

forests upto 30 cmt. girth( 0 B )

6.4 METHOD OF TREATMENT & SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM:

Emphasis will be on the complete treatment of a particular compartment. It will be

treated intensively as per silvicultural requirements and land capability. There is village

called Masta Gatti across the Border of Barbed wire fencing. The extent of encroachment

in the Chak Sarkar reserve forest is around 60 acres. Different cases have been registered

in different courts against these encroachers. Therefore it is pertinent to have permanent

fencing in these block forest to avoid problem of encroachment and protection against

biotic and abiotic pressure. It is urgent need of the hour to have complete demarcation of

the whole of the block forest. After demarcation all around barbed wire fencing need to

be done to avoid problem of encroachment. With respect to irrigation in the Chak Sarkar

Block Forest there are several deep water tubewells which need to be rejuvenated. Apart

from deep water tubewell there is a minor known as Chhanga minor which feeds to the

compartment No. 3,5,6 & 20. Extension of this minor to the other compartments need to

106

be done with proper planning. There are three research Trials which have been laid down

in chak sarkar in compartment No. 6,8 & 11 which is mentioned as below :-

3. Soil and water conservation works shall be done in areas prone to soil erosion

4. Fire lines shall be maintained.

5. All the unclassed forests should be declared Protected Forests at the earliest.

108

6 Stocking of forest area shall be done using indigenous species.

7 Boundary pillars should be maintained on year to year basis.


i) Big trees should be lopped before felling to avoid damage to young regeneration.

ii)All the pits should be filled with earth after felling. .

iii) Eucalyptus should be cut in slanting position about 10 Cms. above the ground level

for proper coppice growth.

iv) No felling of Eucalyptus should be allowed between 15to.Aprii to 30th June.

6.9 PLANTING RULES:

i) Adequate planting stock of different species proposed to be planted, should be raised

in the forest nurseries well in time.

ii) Assured irrigation facilities are to be made before the planting is taken in hand.

iii) Total fencing of the block forest is required before plantation.

iv) Earth work should be completed well in advance and also refilling of the pits.

v) Planting work should start as soon as there is good shower of the rain.

vi) Hundred hectare blank area is present in compartment No. 10,14, & 16 and gap areas

Mulberry, Neem, Sirin, Khair etc

vii)To attract wild life including birds sprinkling of fruit trees should be planted.

viii) The felling should commensurate with planting and enough funds shall be made



A lot of trees in the Block forest dry up due to water scarcity and other reasons, so

more fallings are not prescribed on a very conservative side. .

Since these areas bear young crop of Shisham, Kikar and Eucalyptus limited felling

have been prescribed in this working circle .

109

CHAPTER-VII

THE EUCALPYTUS WORKING CIRCLE


This shall comprise of all the compartments which are having pure or primarily eucalyptus crop.

The objective of this working circle shall be to improve the productivity of these forests as well

as obtain the sustained yield. This will provide not only the much needed timber to the local

people and neighboring states alleviating pressure on the natural forests, it will also help

ecologically sequestering more and more carbon in the subsequent rotations. The total length

and area covered under this working circle are 410.60 Kms and 1103.47 ha respectively



1. To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livlihood opportunities to

the local communities and conservation and restoration of biodiversity.

2. To increase the growing stock for production of timber, fuel wood by replacing

and growing new crops with the old crops of Eucalyptus.

3. In consistence with the above objects of management, to provide maximum

sustainable yield.

Out of the 29776.38 m3 yield prescribed around 30% of the stocking will be retained as the

standards at the boundary of the farmers. Therefore, annual yield of about 2000 m3 will be

harvested for Eucalyptus and overall annual yield will be around 70% of 3166 m3 i.e. 2200 m3

from this working circle.

7.7 MARKING RULES:

1. Marking of all the trees should be done by Range Officer, which should be duly verified

by Deputy DFO./DFO before the working is carried out.

2. No marking shall be done in plantations having age of the plantation less than 25 years.

3. Standards on the boundary of farmers should not be marked in any case as otherwise strip

is likely to be encroached by the farmer.

4. No fruit trees, trees of medicinal value and indigenous trees like Pipal, Bohr, Bahera,

Jand, Lasura, etc., shall be felled.

5. No green trees of Shisham shall be marked.

6. All the other trees except as mentioned in Sr. No. 2, 3 and 4 should be marked along with

the Eucalyptus for felling.

114

7. Trees important from soil and water conservation point of view shall not be felled.

8. Thinning can be prescribed to improve the productivity of the forests & the trees marked

for felling should be done by the officer not below the rank of Deputy DFO.

9. Preserve some old trees of Eucalyptus near the Shahid Bagat Singh Samadhi till Posterity.


i) Felling in this working circle should preferably be done through Punjab State Forest

Development Corporation (PSFDC). Where ever it is not desirable to entertain the private

contractor in the forest areas for forest protection purposes or concerns related to the

regeneration, forest department should carry out departmental felling.

ii) Big trees should be lopped before felling to avoid damage to young regeneration.

iii) All the pits should be filled with earth after felling.

iv) Last row of Eucalyptus at the boundary of farmers field in each compartment should be

retained as standards. .

7.9 PLANTING RULES:

i) Adequate planting stock of eucalyptus and other species proposed to be

planted, should be raised in the forest nurseries well in time.

ii) On broad canals along with Eucalyptus high yielding and commercial species

shall be planted.

iii) On small roads Eucalyptus along with ornamental plants shall be planted for

beautifying the country site.

iv) Assured irrigation facilities are to be made before the planting is taken in

hand.

v) The area should be fenced before planting.

vi) Earth work should be completed well in advance and also refilling of the pits.

vii) Planting work should start as soon as there is good shower of the rain.

viii) The area felled in a particular year shall be taken up for planting during the

next year and the planting programme shall be prepared by D.F.O.(Territorial)


115


Prerequisites for felling in the Eucalyptus working circle is as follows :-

1 Felling shall be carried only if the funds for artificial regeneration are

made available for the next year and a prior sanction from

PCCF(HOFF) regarding this should be obtained.

2 Eucalyptus, indigenous and misc. species shall be planted in these

areas.

3 Felling shall not be done in refractory areas or difficult sites where

chances of artificial regeneration are -.

CHAPTER -VIII

PLANTATION (OVERLAPPING) WORKING CIRCLE

8.1 General Constitution

This working circle comprises of the whole area under Ferozepur Division and

those falling under road, canal, drain & bund, block forest and eucalyptus working circle as these

areas are suited for cultivation of different kinds of plants.

8.2 Special Objects of Management:


1 To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livelihood opportunities

to the local communities along with conservation and restoration of biodiversity.



3 To provide wood for agricultural implements, house construction and raw

material for wood based industries.

4 To retain and plant such trees that may provide food and shelter to the Wildlife.

5 To stabilize and strengthen the bunds, embankments etc. along canals, drains,

rivers and other anti flood measures.

Consistent with the above said objects of management to provide for

progressively maximum sustained yield.

8.3 Methods of Improvement

To meet the target of the plantation in this division nurseries are essential for

generation of plants. There is a large number of nurseries in this division, centrally located to

meet the demand of plants for planting in Govt. areas & private lands. Efforts should be made to

raise new species according to the demand of public. Special efforts be made to raise ornamental

plants & Shisham plants. Seeds for such plants should be collected from genetically superior,

healthy and vigorously growing trees for raising good quality planting stock. For this purpose

plus trees of various species should be marked and its record should be maintained. Latest

techniques like mist chamber and green houses should be adopted. Covering of young plants

especially of Neem should be done in the winter. List of Nurseries are mentioned below:-

119

Table VIII-1

List of Nurseries

8.4 Planting program:

Areas felled in a year shall be taken up for plantation in the following year. As soon as

the felling is over, the brushwood will be collected at suitable places far away from the standards

and disposed off. The stumps of trees left, if any, shall be uprooted, except that of green

eucalyptus. The shrubs and tall grasses shall be cleared. Areas in which sufficient density of

coppice is obtainable shall not be taken up for plantation. In these areas, protection measures

including fencing shall be taken. Eucalyptus coppice shall be supplemented by planting

polythene bag/root trainer raised plants of eucalyptus. The areas however, after taking 1st coppice

shall be uprooted of stumps completely, and thorough soil working shall be done.

The planting distance shall ordinarily be 3m from plant to plant in a row and each row

3m apart (3mx3m). However this may be modified as per the requirements of the species and the

locality factors and also to facilitate harrowing by tractors in between the rows.

Khals, passels already laid out shall be, maintained or new ones lay out, wherever

necessary. The planting shall start after the first shower of monsoon and completed as early as

possible. Late planting or winter planting should be avoided as far as possible. Good healthy

plants raised in polythene bags or root trainers should be used for plantation.

Arrangements for irrigation must be done beforehand. At least two irrigations during the

months of summer dry season and once during the dry winter months are essential.

In case of shisham, the best method is to prepare one year old entire plants by raising

root-shoot cuttings. Efforts should be made to increase the stocking of shisham by planting,

tending, the natural root-suckers.

The failures should be beaten up during the same planting season. The planting stock

used for beating up should consist of healthy and vigorous plants.

Frost tender species like neem, kikar, teak etc. if not planted under shade, shall be

covered during the winter months to protect from the damages of frost.

In low lying areas, planting can be done after the flood waters have receded or by

planting on mounds and ridges constructed for the purpose. The different models for plantation

works will be adopted as per site of the plantation areas. The following models of plantation

which are being adopted in plain areas will be selected.

Total 501 175 676The Models for plantation which are approved under PUNCAMPA are as under :-

8.5.1 Degraded Model with Staggered Trench & Pit

In Degraded Forests the plantation on the strips & block Forests will be done with

this model only. The size of pits & trenches is given in the model in Table No.VIII-6. This model

has been calculated at @ Rs. 130/- per day daily wage rate & the costs will be calculated as per

prevailing daily wage rates during the period of plantations.

8.5.2 Model for Saline/Alkaline Areas

The saline & alkaline soils with higher PH values will be treated as per the model

prepared for these areas. Special treatment will be given to these soils for successful plantation.

The choice of species will be done as per site and saline/alkaline resistant species i.e. Arjun,

Kikar, Mesquite, Zizyphus, Sirs etc will be planted. The model of plantation for these areas is

given Table No.VIII-7

123

8.5.3 Water logged area Treatment Model

The low lying areas along canals & roads where water remains standing for long

period & the area with poor drainage will be treated under this model. In this model, provision

for preparation of ridges & slots on ridges has been kept so that the plants should not be in water

logged conditions. The advance earth work for such areas is to be completed before onset of

monsoon otherwise earth work in such area will not be possible & plantation will be late due to

standing water. The choice of species for such area has to be kept in mind. Only water logging

resistant species i.e. Arjun, Willow, Eucalyptus to some extent, Jamun, Terminallia species etc

are to be selected for such areas. The model of plantation in water logged areas is given at Table

No.VIII-8.

CHAPTER – IX

JOINT FOREST MANAGEMENT (OVERLAPPING) WORKING CIRCLE

9. Introduction

Out of the total geographical area, Ferozepur has got about 17 percent of area under

forest cover. So the dependence of people on the forests for timber requirement is high ie. in

terms of fuel-wood, timber and small wood requirement and grazing to a small extent. The

protection of the existing forests has become the biggest challenge now a days. So the only

possible way by which the existing forests can be protected is participation of people who

reside in and around these forests. So it is of utmost important that JFM is a bare necessity in

these areas.

This working circle has been constituted for implementation of the policies and

guidelines of the Joint Forest Management formulated by Central and State Governments. It

has been decided that the welfare of the people should be integrated with the forest

management. As these villagers not only depend on the forest produce like timber and fuel

wood but awareness about managing forest and benefits of planting a tree is lacking among

the dwellers. On the other hand, the protection and conservation of forests cannot be effective

without creating awareness and the active cooperation of the people living near forests. It is,

therefore, necessary to involve the local community actively with the forest management. So

the Government of Punjab passed a resolution on 14th July 1993 for the constitution of JFM

committees. This was revised vide resolution dated 18th November 2003 keeping in mind the

guidelines of GOI issued in this regard.


The general principle followed in constitution of this working circle has been explained

earlier. A large part of this division has potential for developing into good JFM working

areas. However stress may be given to those areas where there are more barren areas in the

form of community land, institutional land or wasteland as well as closeness to the forest

land. This selection may be judiciously done by Divisional Forest Officer to create sense of

responsibility towards the forest and to suit the needs of protection of state’s valuable forests.

134

9.2 Special objects of Management.

1. To give adequate protection to the existing forest resources in the division through

effective people's participation.

2. To maintain and improve the quality of the environment, that is, the existing

vegetation/tree cover should be maintained for the conservation and improvement of

the environment and for the better living conditions for human beings.

3. To reduce the pressure on the forests by diverting the pressure with the alternative

sources of energy.

4. To manage the forests in such a way that there is effective sharing of usufructs to the

people in a sustainable manner.

5. To create awareness among the people about the importance of the forest resources/

tree cover for a better future to humanity.

6. Overall socioeconomic development of the fringe areas.

9.3 Government Policies on Joint Forest Management.

The Government of Punjab passed a resolution on 14th July 1993 for the constitution of

JFM committees. This was revised vide resolution dated 18th November 2003, keeping in

mind the guideline of GOI issued in this regard. Later all the JFMCs in each forest division

were coordinated under the Forest Development Agency (FDA’s) for that particular

division. The main objectives of this agency are:-

Conservation, management and increase in the forest cover in the project area, in a

sustainable manner.

Conservation of soil and water in the project area.

Employment generation through creation of productive community assets.

Formation of village level committees which will carry out the activities mentioned

above.

Employment generation to most needy section of the society, particularly women, SC/ST

and land- labourers and encourage them to be self-sufficient.

To train the rural women in income generating activities and to improve their social,

economical and health conditions.

To avail the alternative sources of energy to the rural people, and subsequently

decreasing their dependence on forest for fuel.

135

To inculcate the idea of conservation of natural resources among the members of JFMs

and other people.

To ensure the active people participation in the implementation of the different objectives

of the project.

To share the usufructs with the local people.

To effectively implement this objectives, a percentage of the allocated funds can be used

for entry point activities which are taken up in the JFM areas so that active coordination

between the Forest Development agency and the villagers improves. Micro plans are also to

be drawn up for investment and production activities after taking into consideration the local

needs of the people. Self Help Groups can also be constituted. The money saved can be used

for developing other income generating activities. Along with these there is increased need to

improve the marketing and processing facilities so that the villagers world is open to major

marketing places economically. As the self reliance of the Villagers increase, their

dependence on the forests and resulting, destruction of these valuable resources gradually

decreases.

The FDAs have an executive committee and a general body. The Conservator of Forests

heads the executive body of the FDA. There would be representation from all the line

departments and JFM committees. The Divisional Forest Officer would be the Chief

Executive Officer of the FDA. The executive body has to meet once in every year to elect its

office holders from among the JFMC members. The general body also should meet regularly

in a year to decide on their activities.

The constitution of the FDA's will bring new zest into the working of the Joint Forest

Management Programme in Punjab.

9.4 Present Condition of Forest.

The natural forests have deteriorated alarmingly for the reason that they were not

allowed growing naturally up-to maturity for potential yield. The plantations raised

artificially could not be protected to their rotation ages except in a few areas. Constraint to

protection of forests is mainly due to the close vicinity of the forest with towns.

The forest areas have also depleted considerably and more and more areas are going out

of management every year. The result of deterioration and depletion of forests is that an acute

136

crisis of timber, firewood and other forest produces exists in the markets and particularly the

timber is out of reach to the common people.

9.5 Duties and Responsibilities in the Changed situation.

1. The existing forests are to be maintained and improved for conservation &

amelioration of environment and other living conditions.

2. Protection is the most important challenge that the forests are facing and JFM should

ensure social fencing in all the areas where the problem exists.

3. Forest protection forces should be formed to aid the forest patrolling parties to protect

the forests.

4. The demand of timber, fuel wood and other forest produces are to be met up from the

existing forests by way of sharing of usufruct benefits in lieu of protection.

5. To ensure smooth harvesting of the forest produce by the forest department.

6. To integrate the interest of the forest dwellers with the forest management

7. Immediate fencing of the borders to prevent the illegal transport of timber to Punjab.

The above objectives can be achieved and ensured through the successful protection and

conservation of the existing forests.

137

9.6 Joint Forest Management in Ferozepur Forest Division

Ferozepur forest Division is basically a plain district and majority of its land is covered

under agriculture. Few people reside near government forest areas and those people earn their

livelihood by working in the Government forests, selling minor forest produces and

collecting fuel wood and grass from the forest areas.

People do not think that the forests are their own property and are to be protected for

their own interest Lack of awareness about the forests and absence of all rights over the

adjacent forests. The forest staff with their limited protection force cannot protect such

valuable wealth open all over. As a result, the illegal extractions from the forests are going

on. The forests near the villages and habitations can be protected safely if the villagers come

forward for their protection. They will like to come forward if they are made to feel that the

forest wealth is their own wealth and they can earn livelihood out of it. They will share

revenue with the Government, which will form their regular source of income. They will like

to continue with their regular income and such a feeling in their mind will lead them for

protection of their own wealth of forests. Once they start giving protection, no illicit fellers

from outside can get into the forests for illegal extraction and the forests are safe. So it is the

active cooperation of the forest dwellers, which is necessary for protection of the crops for

their growing to the age maturity.

Joint Forest Management is necessary for another main reason also. The forest areas are

dwindling but the demand of the timbers; fuel wood and other forest produces are increasing.

At the same time we aim that the forest areas are to be increased. But, it is also necessary to

see that the yield from the existing forests increases to the maximum extent. We can meet up

the demand of the other timbers, fuel wood and other forest produces from small forest areas

provided we could protect. So, with a much smaller areas than the existing forest area in the

State and with an efficient & successful protection, we can meet up the demands of all kinds

of forest produces of the people and the Joint Forest Management Policy can provide the

kind of protection such a small area of plantation need. The forests are not maintain for

producing required forest produces for the people, but for maintenance of the environmental

conditions for survival of man. In Ferozepur, the Reserved Forest/Protected forests have been

constituted legally and there were no procedural mistakes. But the forest dwellers who were

138

illiterate were unable to understand the Government actions towards declaration of Reserved

Forests and its consequences on their life supporting system. The forest villagers could

extract any forest produce from their adjacent forests for earning their livelihood but such

facilities were withdrawn with the declarations of Reserved Forests. The right they had was

lost. As a result the suffering of the common forest dwellers have increased. The introduction

of Joint Forest Management Policies is an attempt to begin natural life supporting system for

the forest dwellers.

Here all the JFMCs are working under FDA. In all these JFCMs a variety of entry point

activities will be undertaken under FDA which includes activities like poultry, Piggery,

mushroom cultivation, providing fish fingerlings, providing sewing machines to villagers,

creation of bound parties including rural youth, distribution of malai threads, wool decoration

materials, self starter generators, bicycles, cows, rubber sheet machines, etc. Several assets

that were created as entry point activities were handed over to the self help groups for upkeep

maintenance and future benefit sharing. Self-help groups are going to be created which will

become instrumental in creation of many assets out of their saving and protection of forests

has also improved tremendously due to their involvement.

Still the challenges are many and much more needs to be done for the better future of

forests of Ferozepur. Some forest villages or habitations near good plantation areas or forest

areas are to be selected for implementations of the Joint Forest Management Scheme. The

share of revenue to the forests dwellers may be fixed as per the latest provisions of the

government. Share of revenue will be precondition of protection to the forests.

Celebrative governmental development programmes can be taken up with the

department of rural development of the state for the overall development of these forest

villages. The territorial Divisional Forest Officer should take the initiative in this respect.

Ferozepur forest division has already taken some steps in this respect.

The concerned Range officer and Beat Officers may be sent to visit project areas where

there is successful implementation of the JFM programmes.

9.7 Sharing of Usufructs with the JFM Beneficiaries

1. To promote the success of Joint Forest Management bring faith in the JFM.

139

2. The beneficiaries can be allowed to collect the minor forest produce, dead and fallen

leaves and fodder free of cost without causing damage to the forests.

3. Areas under Eucalyptus coppice with standards need adequate protection to the

Eucalyptus coppice growth before thinning yields are taken in the 2nd, 4th and 6th year.

So all the areas under this working circle can be brought under JFM Programme,

protection given and benefits shared accordingly.

4. The harvest from the silvicultural thinning and the main felling should be shared with

the beneficiaries to meet their domestic needs. For this approvals may be got from the

concerned Divisional Forests Officer with the consent of the executive committee and

the Range Officer.

140

CHAPTER – X

NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCE [OVERLAPPING] WORKING CIRCLE

10.1 Introduction

The non timber forests products are products of biological origin other than wood derived

from forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests. They may be gathered from the wild or

produced in forest plantations, agroforestry plantations and from trees outside forests. NTFPs

include forest plants of medicinal value or valuable for livelihood purposes, mushroom products,

honey etc.

Interest in NTFPs is increasing rapidly. At present numerous efforts have been made to

increase awareness of these products, their management and market potential. However, there is

shortage of available information and there are few means effective in disseminating the

information necessary for the sustainable management and marketing of these resources and

products.

In the past, management of NTFP resources has not been dealt with in a concerted

manner and this aspect of forestry has remained largely neglected. Records of forest division

show a data of revenue receipts of small amounts by way of auctions of grasses like Sacchrum

spontaneuam (Kahi) & Erianthus Munja (Kana), & fruits like Jamun in past, that too is slowly

decreasing.

These products even in small viable quantities are not available now. It appears that

medicinal plants cultivation, mushroom production and production of honey are the NTFPs for

future in this area and the department needs to focus its attention in these specific areas.

10.2 Herbal Gardens/ Parks

The main objective for developing these Herbal Parks is ex-situ conservation of

medicinal plants of Punjab for research and study and future harvest in a sustainable manner.

This would help in establishing centres of sustainable medicinal plant resource base and

producing quality seeds and seedlings for distribution to farmers. These centers in the long run

should also emerge as potential tourist attraction points in Punjab. These herbal parks are

141

primarily of demonstrative importance for interested farmers and would also act as nurseries

where good quality medicinal herbs, shrubs and tree species of medicinal importance can be

raised and sold at nominal price to the farmers. A Medicinal plant nursery was established at

Fazilka in 2007-08 under the aid of Medicinal Plant Board.

Suitable plants of Mmedicinal value which have the potential to grow in the tract are

Herbal Gyan Kendras could be proposed to be set up in each Herbal Garden to educate

people about the traditional Indian system of medicines. As more and more farmers are adopting

the cultivation of medicinal plants, this could lead to diversification in the cropping pattern in the

farming sector.

10.3 Other activities

Some other activities that can be promoted in the division are;

144

10.3.1 Apiculture/ Bee Keeping

Honey bees are one of the important social insects as well as a rich source of honey.

Honey has been traditionally used in various diet preparations, medicines, cosmetics, ointments,

candles and house hold bee wax items besides Ayurvedic drug preparations. The wax from the

hive is used in lip balms, whereas royal jelly is used to strengthen the human body, for

improving appetite preventing aging of skin, leukaemia and for the treatment of cancers,

cosmetics etc. According to an estimate, about 80 per cent of honey is used directly by

consumers and about 10 per cent is used in Ayurvedic and pharmaceutical production. Honey

bees during foraging for pollen and nectar from flowers of different plant species; enhance

agricultural productivity to the tune of 30-80 per cent annually through cross pollination.

Five species of honey bees are found all over the world, namely Apis florea,, A. cerana,

A. dorsata, A. mellifera and Trigona iridipennis. However , A. Cerana and A. mellifera are

reared in hives in India. Currently, China captures 40 per cent of the world market and the

biggest importers of honey are Germany, Japan and the United states. Germany alone imports

about 90 thousand tonnes of honey annually. India produces about 70000 tonnes of honey every

year of which 25-27000 tonnes is being exported to more than 42 countries, including the

European Union, Middle East and the United states. The major honey-producing states are

Haryana. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. Forest honey can fetch premium prices

being totally chemical and pesticide free. However, the Department has to facilitate the evolution

of a viable certification process as well as marketing linkages.

The tree cover on strips affords commercial opportunity for honey production. Bee

keeping has already made progress in Punjab and the interested people are always in search of

space to install honey combs. The strip forests are occasionally found to be used as honey

production areas clandestinely because the department does not allow private people to use forest

areas. It is time to re-look at this position and the department needs to evolve a positive and

progressive policy to encourage apiculture in partnership with interested people.

10.3.2 Income generation activities from forest products

Income generation activities can be created for self Help Groups (SHGs) from minor

forest produce like like kahi, Kana. Sericulture is other option which can be adopted for income

generation because silk worms eat on Sahtut (Morus alba) leaves. The twigs of Morus alba can

also be used for making baskets (tokris). Shatoot plantation can be promoted under agro-forestry

145

also. Pickle making from the fruits obtained form forest threes like kari (Caparis decidua),

Lasora (Cordia Myxa) can be other option for SHGs. Designer pidhas (kind of sitting charis in

villages) made from cotton ropes can be other optiono for SHGs. PFDC may facilitate these

SHGs in marketing of their produce.

146

CHAPTER-XI

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT [OVER LAPPING] WORKING CIRCLE

11.1 General Constitution.

The management and protection of forests are integrated with the management and

protection of wildlife. So this working circle has been formed for protection and conservation of

the wildlife found in the forests as well as non-forest areas of the division. This covers the whole

areas of this forest division.

11.2 Objective of Working Circle:-

This will be an overlapping working circle constituted mainly to ensure that silvicultural

prescriptions of the working plan are in harmony with requirement of wildlife and its habitat.

The specific objectives of this working circle are-

1. To improve and protect wildlife habitat.

2. To provide food and shelter to wildlife.

3. To mitigate man-animal conflict specially along fringe areas

4. To aware common public about the ecological significance of wildlife for health

of the forests.

11.3 The Animals and Birds Found in the Division.

Ferozepur Forest Division has more than 90%area under cultivation, and the area under

forest is quite meagre. The tract is densely populated and a lot of biotic interference is there.

Strip forests along main canals & drains provide shelter to the wild animals and birds. Though

there is not big game found in the tract yet there is a large variety of small animals and birds

found all over the district.

Whatever little wild life exists, it survives only in the block forests. The details of

animals is given below. The common wild animals are Black bucks, Boselaphus tragocamelus

(Nilgai), Sus scrofa (wild boar), Axis porcinus (Hog deer), Canis aureus (Jackal), Herpestes

edwerimi (Common Mangoose), Lepus Nigricollis (Common hare), Felis chaus(Jungle cat),

Maniscrassi eaudets (Pangolin), etc. Black bucks and Nilgai are found in the cultivated areas in

147

Abohar & Fazilka because of protection given by Beshnoi community which is a predominant

community in Abohar Area.

There are reptiles like Monitor lizard, Garden lizard, Cobras (Naja naja) and other

reptiles exists in the area. A large number of bird species are also found all over the division.

The birds found in the division are Peacock, Bulbul, bay weaver bird, wood pecker,

common bee eater, cattle egret, pond heron (paddy bird), kingfisher, common teal, hill myna,

oriole, blue jay, hoopoe, Indian cuckoo, common koel, grey hornbill, tree pie, common Indian

kite, Bengal vulture (Gyps bengalensis), doves, pigeons, rose ringed parakeet, crow pheasant,

Indian myna. pied myna, hill myna, thrushes and shrikes, magpie-robin etc. A list of animals and

birds, which are found in Ferozepur, is appended with this plan.

11.4 Protected Areas In The Ferozepur Forest Division

11.4.1 ABOHAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

The Abohar Wildlife Sanctuary has been declared a Wildlife Sanctuary under the

Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 vide Govt of Punjab notification No. 40/4/98-Ft-IV/15505 dated

7-9-200 and is a unique sanctuary in more than one ways. This is the only sanctuary in Punjab,

which has bee declared so, by following the provisions under section 24 C of the Wildlife

(Protection) Act,1972.Th implication of its declaration. through the said section is that the people

living within the sanctuary are mostly the Bishnoi community will continue to have all their

customary rights except for hunting.

This sanctuary is just 8 Kms. from Abohar, a major town of Ferozepur District

and covers mostly the private fields of about 13 villages of the area. Besides Black buck, other

species found in the sanctuary are Blue bull, Black and Grey Partridges, Hare, Jungle Cat, Jackal,

Rose ringed Parakeets, Dove, Peafowl, Blue rock pigeon and Bengal vulture. .

11.4.2 HARIKE WILDLIFE SANCTUARY:

This world-renowned Ramsar site of years has been declared as a Wildlife

Sanctuary by the Punjab Govt. Notification No. 3417/99-Ft-IV/16393 dated 18th November,

1999.

148

This sanctuary at a distance of just 45 Kms. from Ferozepur, 18 Kms. from Moga

and 55 Km from Amritsar, falls on the Pathankot-Abohar National Highway, and is virtually a

'Bird Watcher paradise.

Besides hundreds of migratory and resident bird species including Brahmni duck,

Wigeon, Mallard, Coot, Garganey, Shoveller, Tufted Pochard, Pintail etc., it also harbours

species Wild boar, Hog Deer, Smooth Indian Otter, Jackal, Black & Grey Partridges & so on.

Except for Gatti Harike jungle on the downward side of the National Highway & some strip

forests, there is hardly any wood area within the sanctuary. Realizing this a project for greening

the sanctuary area has been taken up the Forest Department in collaboration with Department of

Science & Technology Punjab in which species like Mango, Jamun, Kikar, Arjun etc. are being

planted every year from 1997 onwards. This besides giving aesthetic value to the sanctuary will

also provide food, shelter & nesting havens for the birds.

11.4.3 WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

During the recent past there have been some problems regarding working of those

forests of the Division which after the notification of the sanctuaries happen to fall within the

limits of sanctuaries. In the absence of any specific provisions for these areas, some operational

problems arose between the wildlife and forest field staff. '

Therefore, it is being provided that wherever any area within the sanctuary is to be

worked it should be done as per the Wildlife Management Plan and no removal whatsoever shall

be done without the approval of Chief wildlife warden

11.5 Area of biodiversity value lying outside PA network

There are several important habitat, areas and ecosystem of conservation importance

throughout the state of Punjab, which lie outside PA network. These areas should be subjected to

special measures to ensure that their biodiversity value is retained and enhanced for posterity.

Subabul and Neem regeneration is seen growing naturally in patches, and some areas

covered with naturally growing Mullberry with the remaining area is under plantations of

Shisham, Neem, Burma Drek Mulberry and Eucalyptus. The area has abundant grass growth

including Kahi (Sacchram spontaneous). The area is spursely dotted with Kikar (Acacia

nilotica).The area is home to several reptiles species including python, rat snake and cobras.

149

Wild animals like Hog deer, Jackel, Monkey, Bat, Jungle Cat, Nilgai and wild boar can be seen

in this block forest.

11.6 Legal Position.

The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 amended in 2002, is in force for protection and

conservation of Wildlife in Punjab. Under the above act, the forest officers have been duly

empowered for implementation of the policies of protection & conservation of Wildlife as the

Wildlife Wardens. The junior officers are vested with the powers of detection of illegal wildlife

crime. They are required to report to the Chief Wildlife Warden for taking necessary actions and

drawing of Wildlife Offence Reports.

11.7 Rights and Concessions in respect of Wildlife.

No right and concession in respect of wildlife have been recognized.

11.8 Hunting and Shooting.

Hunting, shooting and capturing of wild animals and birds are not allowed. However,

Chief wildlife warden of the state is empowered under the Act to permits shooting of any animal

which become dangerous for the human life property or when they became menace to human

habitation to avoid man animal conflict. Government of Punjab has also empowered the SDM’s

of civil jurisdiction to issue permits to kill animals like nilgai and wild bore with certain

restrictions.

11.9 General Census.

Census of wild animals and birds has never been done in Ferozepur Forest Division.

11.10 Maintenance of Habitat of Wildlife.

The maintenance of the habitats of wildlife has been ensured through the provisions in

the silvicultural system of all the Working Circles being implemented in the division.

11.11 Improvement of Habitat.

1. Plantations for shelters:- The plantations may be raised at some important places for

shelter of the animals if such tree cover do not exist. Beside, scattered vegetation

covers may be crated by raising plantations throughout the forest areas for facility of

the extension of the habitat of the wildlife.

150

2. Raising of grass plantations for Herbivores: - Palatable grass plantations for

herbivores may be raised in a scattered manner for keeping such animals inside forest

and saving the agricultural crops of the adjoining farmers crop field.

3. Raising of Fruit Trees for Birds: - Some trees like Jamun(Sygygium cumini), Berry

(Zizyphus mauritiana), Ficus species, whose fruits are eaten by the birds are to be

raised in scattered manner throughout the forests if such trees are found deficit.

Naturally growing Ber(Zizyphus Sp) trees must be given special attention and should

be protected.

4. Water Holes: - Water is a problem in summer i.e, March onwards so it is necessary to

dig up some ponds or tanks at some important points for the facility of making the

drinking water available to the animals in summer months.

5. Salt Licks: - The herbivores suffer from salt deficiency. So it will be better to have

some salt Licks at some convenient places for herbivores. The regulated intake of salt

will improve the health of the herbivore and other animals.

11.12 Injuries to which Wildlife is liable.

(i) Fire

Fire destroys the vegetation and the roosting sites of the wild animals. In the

months of March & April fire may sweep through the forests, as the forest floor is

very dry. Besides, grass collectors set fire after collection of grass to get vigorous

shoots next year & the fire spread from there. Besides that there is a tendency of

landlords adjacent to the forest who use to burn the agricultural wastes in the field

itself which pose danger to the forest and wildlife.

(ii) Grazing

Grazing is rampant all over the district and reduces the forage available for wild

life besides physically trampling their niches.

(iii) Poaching

Poaching is not common in Ferozepur District. The wild life as well as the forest

departments do book the poachers as and when some incident is brought into

notice. But they have severe limitations of staff to check poaching in each village.

151

Legal actions are to be taken for lighting fire in the forests, which will

help in protection of wildlife.

152

CHAPTER XII

FOREST PROTECTION (OVERLAPPING) WORKING CRICLE


The general principle followed in constitution of this working circle has been explained

in earlier chapters. This working circle has been formed for protection of forests wealth by way

of regular patrolling in the forest as well as non-forest areas of the division. Forest resources

particularly timbers and fuel wood is very valuable. Forests meet up the basic needs of the

people. Forest produces are largely used as industrial raw materials. Forests i.e. green vegetative

covers maintain environmental living conditions for human being and all other animals. So its

protection is necessary and is to be ensured.

The pressure on the forests is also very high as there is increase in population and

because of the easy money it brings through illegal activity. The working circle extends over the

whole of the Ferozepur Forest Division as the whole of the forests is under severe biotic

especially human pressure. The protection can also be from other stresses like fire, soil erosion,

weeds and firewood collectors.

12.2 Special Objects of Management

1. To provide protection of the valuable forests of Ferozepur Division.

2. To prevent free flow of illegal timber.

3. To protect the forests against fire.

4. To adopt good soil conservation measures.

5. Increase social fencing measures through effective JFM programmes.

12.3 Legal Provisions.

Forest is a renewable resource and its management cannot be successful without its

protection. So there are legal provisions for protection of forests in Indian Forests Act 1927

and its Punjab amendments and Punjab Forest Rules.

All the forest personnel engaged in the management of forests have been duly

empowered for protection of forests. The Divisional Forest Officer is in overall charge for

153

protection of forests in the division and the Range Officers, Block Officers and Forest guards

in their respective protection Units to assist him.

12.4 Formulation of the Protection Enforcement System.

The DFO is in overall charge of the protection of forests in the division. The Range

Officer is entrusted with the responsibilities of enforcing protection measures in the Range area

by way of patrolling and detecting forest offences. He is required to draw offence reports and

send them to the DFO to get it sanctioned either for compounding of offence or for prosecution

which has to be decided by the DFO.

The Block Officer is entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing protection measures in

the Block area by way of patrolling and detecting the forest offences. Block forest officer is also

empowered for accepting the compounding fee from the offenders as well as sending the cases

for prosecution. Foresters are directly assisted by the Forest Guards posted under him. The Forest

Guards posted in the beats are entrusted with the power of detecting forest offences and they are

required to report to the Block Officers under whom their services have been placed.

The new concept of JFM also has provisions for formation of Self Help Groups, which

can be given the responsibility of protection in lieu of the usufructs that they receive from those

areas.

12.5 Execution of Search Warrants.

The forest officers up to the rank of Range officer are empowered with the power of

executing Search Warrants in any premises for finding out the hidden illegally collected forest

produces.

12.6 Powers of Arresting the Offenders.

The forest officers up to the rank of foresters may arrest the forest offenders in case of

necessity. The offender/ offenders is/are to the released or handed over to the nearest police

station within 24 hours from the time of arrest for other legal actions which are required to be

taken as per rule.

12.7 Collection of Information

In-charge, Range Officer and Block Officers should maintain a system of collection of

information on illicit felling in the forests, extraction of illegal produces from the forests, illegal

154

transport to the markets and other places, utilization of huge timbers in Government

construction. Direct patrolling may not be effective in all such cases.

12.8 Special patrolling during night.

Though there is no unit of Special Task Force in the division but the forest guards do

special checking operation during night-time. Ferozepur division has considerable potential

forests but the dishonest traders and miscreants are conducting the illegal extraction from such

areas at night specially near Pakistan border around Hussianiwala and along the strips falling

around Ferozepur Forest Division . So special patrolling at night are required to be taken on

these strategic strip forest.

12.9 Special Measures Against Smuggling of Forest Produces across Border.

Smugglers, miscreants and dishonest traders organize illicit felling in the forests and

carry valuable timbers. The timbers for the market are also smuggled out for more profit. These

sorts of prolonged unlawful activities create a condition of deficiency in supply and availability

of timbers and other forest produces in the market, which hikes the price in market. As a result

the common people cannot purchase the timbers for their essential needs. Such a situation in the

state cannot be allowed to continue in the interest of the people. Organized illicit felling in the

forests is to be resisted by special patrolling measures. The Police Station Posts are to be

reminded from time to time for effective control of smuggling out of timbers and other forest

produces from the state. Any forest produce that is detected by any military, police or other

paramilitary forces have to be handed over to the nearest forest official.

12.10 Posting of Young Healthy Personnel in Patrolling Parties

Young, energetic and physically fit forest personnel should be posted in the patrolling

parties for performance of tough duties. Aged, unhealthy and ill personnel should not be given

the protection duty. More over there should be more recruitments and patrolling staff should

have regular transfers also.

155

12.11 Other Protection measures.

Other Protection measures like protection from fire has to be taken care of by making

adequate number of fire lines and their good maintenance from time to time. Soil conservation

measures have also to be adopted. Silvicultural systems like selection system can aid to improve

soil conservation measures as it least disturbs the forest soils.

156

Chapter XIII

Financial Forecast

13.1 General

Sale of trees is the main source of revenue to the Department. The yield of various

species has been prescribed keeping in view the G.O.I guidelines. Some revenue will also

available from sale of minor forest produce i.e grass, fruits and other produce. The trees after

marking are handed over to the Punjab state Forest development Corporation for fallings and

conversion the royalty is fixed by the state Govt. of the revenue figures have been calculated on

the royalty.

Expenditure is mainly confined to the raising of plantations establishments charges etc.

Areas available for planting during the plan period are estimated Keeping in view the marking

rules under different working circle. Therefore the revenue & expenditure figures for the plan

period are estimates only.

13.2 Revenue and Expenditure

The following is the financial forecast in respect of revenue and expenditure during plan period.

Chapter XIV

Miscellaneous Regulations

14.1 Fire protection.

There is a thick growth of Kana, Kahi and bushes in the strip forests of this division,

which poses a great danger of fire in the dry month of summer. Though the area under block

forest is meagre yet the paths and fire lines of these forests should be kept clean. The staff shall

remain vigilant during the summer months. There is a great danger of fire to the forests along

road,rail,canals,when the farmers burn their crop residue after harvesting the crop in the adjoing

fields. So the concerned staff should remain present when the farmers burn crop residue. Fire

fighting equipments can be kept at Division Head quarter.

14.2 Petty Sale As the sale of trees by auction to the contractors has completely been stopped, so the dead

dry & wind fallen trees should either be departmentally cut or be handed over to the Forest

corporation as earty as possible to avoid any theft and pilferage. The marking of dead,dry

deseased trees should be done three times in a year under the supervision of the concerned

Dy.D.F.O s A complete record of these trees should be maintained in the division. The auction of

fruits and grasses can also be done from time to time.

14.3 Clearance of tall grasses Divisional Forest Officer Should prepare a phased programme to eliminate Kana,Kahi and

other tall grasses. This will not only promote the growth of plants but also minimize the fire

hazard.

14.4 Checking of Boundaries

The boundary pillars on road, canals drains are mostly missing. The boundaries are not

well defined. These need to be checked. In block forests separate boundary registers need to be

maintained, giving the complete details of the boundary pillars i.e. distance between two pillars

and reading by compass(Back bearing & fore bearing etc.) D.F.O's should pay special attention

during their routine inspection that the checking of boundaries of forest is done at least once in

three years, Range officer should maintain a boundary checking register and put the same to the

D.F.O at the time of annual inspection. Demarcation unclassed areas be done at the earliest.

158

14.5 Beat Books The D.F.O should get prepared the beat books which should have the following.

1. Beat map.2. Detail of forest in beat including land plans.3. List of nurseries in the beat.4. List of buildings in the beat.5. Detail of plantations and cultural operations carried out during the last

10 years.14.6 Wild Life

There is variety of wild life including many species of birds in the tract. Water holes an

salt licks be provided at suitable places for the wild animals. As already stated supra fruit trees

and Ficus species like Bohar, Pipal, Pilkan, Beri must be retained and planted up along with

other economic tree species to provide shelter and food for wild life and avi-fauna. A close

laision must be maintained with the staff of wild life being to protect the wild life from illicit

damage by poachers.

14.7 NurseriesThere is a large number of nurseries in this division, centrally located to meet the demand of

plants for planting in Govt. areas & private lands. Efforts should be made to raise new species

according to the demand of public. Special efforts be made to raise ornamental plants & Shisham

plants. Seeds for such plants should be collected from genetically superior, healthy and

vigorously growing trees for raising good quality planting stock. For this purpose plus trees of

various species should be marked and its record should be maintained. Latest techniques like

mist chamber and green houses should be adopted. Covering of young plants especially of Neem

should be done in the winter. List of Nurseries is mentioned below:-

14.8 Seed collection. Seed collected from the genetically superior, healthy and vrgorously growing trees should

be used in the nurseries for raising plants. For his purpose plus trees of various species should be

marked for collecting seeds. A list of these trees should be Kept in the division. The seeds from

these trees should be collected under the supervision of gazetted officer.

14.9 Ecotourism

There is a vast potential of Ecotourism in Ferozepur Forest Division. Ecotourism can be

promoted in areas like Harike wildlife Sanctuary, Abohar wild life sanctuary, Chak sarkar

reserve forest & border areas of Ferozepur Forest Division like Hussianiwala, Sadiqi (Fazilka)

etc. Proper efforts should be taken by DFO (wild life), Territorial DFO to promote ecotourism in

the above said areas.

The main objective of ecotourism is to ensure ecologically responsible tourism, which in

linked to the livelihood support and empowerment of local communities. The objectives can be

listed as follows :

1. To promote conservation awareness amongst the visitors and local people through

conservation education and interpretation.

2. To generate additional livelihood opportunities and help them to rationalize the

existing landuse.

3. To find harmonious relationship between the place, the visitor and the host community.

CHAPTER - XV

ESTABLISHMENT AND LABOUR

15.1 ESTABLISHMENT:

The existing strength of the Ferozepur Forest Division has already been given in the

earlier chapter. There is generally shortage of protection staff particularly Forest Guards. In order

to control the Division in a better way atleast three more Rangers are required.

5. Joint Forest Management Plan (Microplan) :

5.1 The Forest areas to be managed jointly by the department and FPC’s will be decided by the territorial DFO in consultation with the FPCs. These forest areas need not be coterminous with the revenue village i.e. forest areas in a particular revenue village may be managed under JFM by an FPC of another neighboring village also. A Joint Forest Management Plan (JFMP) will be prepared for the area using tools like Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). During this process the FPC will be actively involved through the meeting of its General Body Prior to starting such exercises the Range Officer should collect available information (and also prepare maps) on the forest types, the species occurring in the forest, legal status of forest, in the area and extent of forest under each category, history of the forest, the land use of the non forest land in the area,important information on the concerned micro-watershed, population and other socioeconomic data of the villages in the vicinity of the forest. A copy of the JFMP proposal should be sent by the Range Officer to the DFO so that, if necessary, he may tender his advise. FPCs should also take up the Panchayat Forest Area in consultation, and with concurrence of the village Panchayat. This arrangement will benefit both the Panchayat and the members of the FPC, as improved protection is likely to enhance the quality and quantity of the forest produce available from thePanchayat forest areas. In case of Panchayat forest areas the Forest Department will act as facilitator to evolve a workable institutional arrangements between the Panchayat and the Forest Protection Committee as per these guidelines. No such arrangement is, however, possible for the Panchayat Forest areas without wholehearted and constructive support from the Rural Developments and Panchayat Department. The Rural Development and PanchayatDepartment shall, therefore, provide full and constructive support in facilitating such anarrangement for the protection and management of Panchayat Forests. The sharing of benefits between the Panchayat and the FPC can be on the same lines as the sharing of benefits between the FPC and the Government in case of the Protected/Reserved/unclassed Forest under these guidelines. If, after gaining initial experience in a village, the villagers wish to extend similar arrangements to forest areas which are common private holdings of a number of families of the village, they could decide to do so provided all the landholders and other local stakeholders come to a mutual agreement in this regard. The local forest officials can help in facilitating such arrangements if the landowners and other village stakeholders collectively decide so.

5.2 During preparation of the JFMP, specific attention should be paid to identification andparticipation of those stakeholders who are the most forest dependent and the poorest. The plan should also specifically address the issue of involving the women and taking care of their forest based and other developmental needs.

5.3 The Forest Department may also try to organize or support the existing self- help groups of villagers in the area, especially those of women and impart training to them for suitable income generating/ value addition activities and also facilitate process of obtaining loans/ grants by such groups through banks, NGOs etc.

5.4 In order to promote women’s participation, the Forest Department may also consider engaging women facilitators and NGOs to facilitate adequate gender balance in community mobilization.

228

5.5 The overall implementation of the Joint Forest Management Plan and its supervision will be the responsibility of the Range Officer with the active assistance and participation of the FPC.

5.6 Soil and water conservation measures man also be incorporated as part of the Joint Forest Management Plan.

5.7 It shall also be the responsibility of the FPC/ Management Committee/VA/ Farmers to chalk out and implement an action plan assigning duties and responsibilities to ensure protection of the forest under its charge from theft, biotic interference, fire and other injurious influences and also to implement other measures involving paid labour and even unpaid inputs. In case of wage employment the members of the FPC shall have the first preference. The DFO shall have the discretion of getting works, which are otherwise conventionally executed under the direct supervision of the Forest Deptt. staff at the approved schedule rate, executed through MC/FPC by passing earmarked resources to MC after formally signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the MC in this regard. In all such cases, if the FPC can save some money within thelimits of the government approved scheduled rates for such jobs, by contributing voluntary labour or otherwise, the expenses saved would be credited to the FPC account. The MC will maintain and present for inspection appropriate record in all such cases. Such pooled money could also, in the long run, attract matching grants/loans for the village from Government, Banks, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), or other funding agencies. The FPC will decide the use of the money pooled in the MC account. Such money can be very useful for maintaining the works done under various Government Schemes/ projects implemented in the area, especially after theGovernment Agency withdraws from the area. Minimum 50% amount shall be spent on forestry development projects. The Forest Department may help identify possibilities of grants/ loans for the FPC in order to help in sustainability and strengthening of these institutions. Wherever feasible, the Joint Forest Management Plan shall also explore the possibility of “Sharamdan”(unpaid labour contribution) from the FPC members.

6. Selection of areas for afforestation :

The areas to be selected for a joint Forest Management under this Notification may preferably be those with - than 40% crown density. The first priority in respect of forest areas along roads shall be that of the farmers along whose fields the strip forest falls.

7. Funding the JFM plan :

The Government will bear the expenditure to be incurred for implementing the Joint Forest Management Plan. Wherever a provision has been made as a part of the approved estimates, these expenditures shall be borne by National Afforestation & Eco- Development Board (NAEB)/State Govt./Central Govt. For this purpose the government may also take steps to tie up with appropriate national and international funding agencies. The voluntary Agencies / NGOs will arrange their own resources such as from Industrial Houses, Grants-in aids etc.

8. Benefit sharing

8.1 The FPC will be entitled to the usufruct and Non Wood Forest Produce (NWFP) rights in the area, only if it properly discharges all its duties and responsibilities under these rules. It shall be within the competence of the FPC acting through its Management Committee, to assign the shares of the usufruct and other NWFP and other benefits among its members. It shall be in order to grant fewer shares or no share to any member if he has not discharged the duties and responsibilities assigned to him. Similarly the FPC could decide to give more benefits to a family or persons if they have spent more time and efforts for the protection of the forest. For the purpose of such benefits each household is treated as one member. In case of areas covered under the PunjabApportionment of Tree Rules 2000, the benefit sharing between FPC and farmers shall be as per the mutually agreed terms and conditions.

229

8.2 All conflicts and issues in respect of usufruct or other benefit sharing between individual members of the FPC or between members and non-members of the FPC shall be resolved by the Management Committee in the participatory manner. The Forest Department may aid and facilitate them in this process.

8.3 In case of compounding of an offence as per existing legal provisions, the Divisional Forest Officer can decided to pass the “price” charged for a forest produce to the MC if he is satisfied that the FPC is performing its obligations well and members of the FPC have made significant contribution in apprehending the culprits in a given case.

8.4 In case of protected/reserve or un-classed forest where the system of auctioning grass, fruit, palm leaves etc. to private contractors has been in operations, the FPCs will be given the lease of grass free of cost as the poorest households mostly use these materials. The FPC after meeting the requirements of its members either free or at a cost fixed by it, can sell the same. The removal of NWFP would be done under the supervision of the Department. The revenue from the sale of NWFP will be deposited in the account of FPC and used for forest conservation or common welfare schemes of its members (minimum 50% for forest conservation).

8.5 In case where the Forest Department or other Govt. agencies assist a FPC to get irrigation water either by constructing a dam or installing/renovating a kool system, the initial financial investments shall be made by the Forest Department or the other agency. FPC members should however invariably contribute some voluntary labour for digging of the pipelines etc.

8.6 In case of commercial NWFP produce like “bhabbar” or “baggar” (Eulaliopsis binata), the FPCs will be given the lease of such produce free of cost. The FPC shall invest at least 50% of its income of such produce back into the joint management area for conservation, protection and regeneration of the forest area. Balance 50% will be used for other developmental and welfare activities for the common benefit of its members. However, the local requirement of users of such produce from amongst the members of the FPC will be first satisfied by the FPC before offering any produce for sale to any other agency or for any other purpose. This sale to any other agency will be made only after collection of the produce from forest area. In lieu of the lease, the FPC and the individual members will be expected to take all necessary measures for the protection ofthe forest and for enhancing the production of the forest produce from such areas.

8.7 In case of produce like timber, bamboo, khair etc. 25% of the revenue obtained by the Punjab Forest Department from auctions/ transfer of lots to Punjab State Forest Development Corporation Ltd. shall be retained by the forest department and given to the FPC as its share in lieu of protection/ assistance in management of assigned forest area. The FPC will invest at least 50% of its share of the income back into the Joint Management area for increasing its productivity. The remaining 50% of share received by the FPC could be used in an appropriate manner for other welfare activity of the FPC members or direct distribution of appropriate share among its members.

9 Other issues :

9.1 The Forest Department will identify suitable entry point/development activities to establish a close and constructive rapport with the village communities. The entry point activities/developmental activities will include suitable location specific non-forestry developmental or welfare activities for the benefit of the local community.

9.2 The working of the MC/FPC will be reviewed at least once a year by the DFO. In case the FPC or the MC fails to perform, the duties and responsibilities envisaged under this resolution, the DFO incharge of the area will be competent to de-recognize the FPC and in such case the FPC or the MC will loose all their rights and shares in respect of forest areas assigned to them. However the MC can appeal to the Conservator of Forests against the orders of DFO and Conservator of

230

Forests may after due consideration pass appropriate orders on such appeal. The orders/decision of the Conservator of Forests will be treated final.

9.3 It is clearly being realized that initiating and consolidating the JFM process will call for radical change in mindset at all levels of hierarchy within the Government setup. This also calls for a change in the way business of the State has been conducted in the traditional mode. It was also require considerable devotion, efforts and time on the part of Forests personnel and as the process of JFM cannot be rushed through, all efforts will be made to provide necessary support and staff to the State Forest Department so that Forest personnel can spend adequate time in motivating, training and interacting with the local communities.

9.4 The FPCs and MCs will essentially function as apolitical bodies in the over all interest of forest conservancy and community welfare especially the welfare of the disadvantage and forest dependent groups.

9.5 JFM requires radically redefining the relationship between Forest Department and localcommunities. To bring in the attitudinal changes required for JFM and to enhance skills of the Forest Department Staff, there will be need to organize frequent trainings, workshops, field visits

to other states etc. The Govt. may provide adequate support for this by providing provision for such trainings and strengthening the training infrastructure within the Forest Department as well as through tie-ups with other suitable agencies. Simultaneously, awareness training for villagers is also equally important so as to educate them about the need for forest conservancy and attitudinal change to regard Government property as their own.

9.6 Wherever FPCs are assigned certain forest areas for protection/management, the current state of forest will be recorded in a participatory manner as a benchmark for future comparison of changes taking place in the area.

9.7 Special care will also be taken to regularly document and record the process of change under JFM: in terms of health of forest, the attitudinal changes of the staff and the community, the problems faced and how they were or are being resolved, the enhancement in skills, confidence and capacities of the people and staff, the lesson learnt through the process and so on. The research and extension wings of the forest department would be strengthened to support the JFM process in the state.

9.8 While it is being envisaged that benefits to local FPCs may be granted from Protected Forests/ Reserve Forests areas or Panchayat forest areas, the FPCs are also expected to help and support the forest department staff in protection and management of other categories of forest areas closed under Land Preservation Act, 1900 (LPA). As the process of JFM takes off, the Government may also regularly review, rationalize and reform the regulation under Punjab Land Preservation Act, 1900 and update them with the changing times and cirm3stances.

9.9 The Government may award appreciation letters and prizes to the officials and the FPCs which do outstanding work for promotion and success of JFM.

9.10 The Joint Forest Management Programmes will ordinarily be done after a period of two years by Government. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct earlier reviews if the cirm3stances so warrant.

10. Orders :The orders issued from time to time by the Government of India through directions/instructions or other forms of correspondence regarding matters related to Joint Forest Management shall be deemed to be a part of this notification.

for felling where such strips exist, but dead and dangerous trees may be felled by time. Felling

will be so arranged that the area to be felled over in one year in continuous length over which

fallings will take place during a period of 5 years the time taken to grow new trees big enough to

give adequate shade will be not more than 10 miles. In felling the shade line all young trees up to

8" diameter if well grown will be left, at an average spacing of 6 per for long 110 feet a part on

an average, and this will be best grown and viperous trees: all reasonably vigorous mango trees

will be retained.

9 Distance of the shade / line or edge of plantation from motor road.

It is necessary to prevent the shade line or other trees on the edge of a plantation from

being planted too near the edge of the road. Trees should wherever possible be planted at a

distance of 25 feet from the toe of daule. Where the available width of the land is such that a

shade line, if planted would have to be nearer 25 feet of the daula, The Divisional Forest officer

will decide whether to plant or not. Wherefore any reason it appears desirable to the shade line

more than 25 feet away from tow of the daula, the Divisional Forest Officer on will also consult

245

the Executive Engineer, before decided whether to plant. Although it is desirable that trees

should not ,where possible, be neared than this they should not normally he removed until the

area is due for felling under the regular felling schemes or programme.

that route should be used for import, and this will be laid down in the sale list and agreement

deed after confirmation by the executive Engineer, when the canal cart roads used contractors

will not be charged for repairs.

When felling take place along the side of the meter road, where a practicable alternative

road does not exist the Divisional Forest Officer will obtain in the written permission of the

Executing Engineer, for the canal meter road to be used for the export of the forest produce.

Where forest contractors use and damage the motor road, whether in the reach for which

permission has been obtained or elsewhere they will pay for the necessary repairs up use of the

motor road is necessary, a clause to the above effect will be entered in the sale list and agreement

deed.
