PREFACEThe preparation of Working Plan has never been as relevant an exercise as ithas been 1988 Forest Policy of India and the judgement in T.N.Godaverman Vs Unionof India case in Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. A serious thought process has startedgoing into the preparation working plan document. Further Hon'ble Court has given thedirections that the Govt. of India shall its say in the preparation of Working Plans ofvarious states by way of involvement of its representatives from the regional offices ofGovt. 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 yieldof timber.3. Special care has been taken to see that there must not be anyadverse effect on the regeneration status and forest cover whileharvesting matured/over matured trees.4. To maintain the diversity of the wild animals including the avifaunapopulation.5 To create awareness and sensitize people about the forest and itsrole 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 Forestsand raising the ecological and environmental status of the area byimproving 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 overexotic species in the plantation programmes.5. There will be no clear felling of areas

Chapter-IThe Tract Dealt with1.1 Name and SituationThis working plan deals with forests situated along roads, canals, drains and floodprotection, Bunds and other lands under block forests or areas otherwise under the managementof the forest department located within the jurisdiction of this revenue district of Ferozepur andnewly constituted Fazilka districts. The division forms a continuous belt of 15-25 K.M. widthand on the left bank of Sutlej River along the Pakistan border. The total geographical area of theFerozepur & 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 73 0 50’ to 75 0 25‘ east longitude and 29 0 -57' to31 0 10’ north latitude.1.2 Configuration of the GroundRiver Sutlej makes western boundary of this division. The tract is generally flatand slope is towards south-west. There are some sand dunes in the Fazilka Range, hence there isuneven topography in this part on the District.The natural depressions along the roads get flooded during the rainy seasonand this causes water-logging in some areas. The depressions are generally along the roads andcanals from where earth is removed during construction of road or canal.1.3 Geology rock and soilThe soil is typical of Punjab plains. It is loam to sandy loam in Fazilka. The areasnear the river are clay to silty loam. Soil in Jalalabad Range of this Division is saline due to theimpeded drainage. The soil as a whole is very useful for agricultural and forestry purposes.1.4 ClimateThe climate is characterised by extreme hot summer and cold dry winters. Theseclimatic conditions are quite unfavorable for the growth of the plants. The various factorsaffecting the growth of the plants are as under :-1

(I) Temperature :-During the summer the temperature touches 46 0 C and in winter the minimumtemperature some times falls below the freezing point. Dry and hot winds are very common. Themonth of May & June are the hottest whereas December and January are the coldest. Table No. 1gives the temperature figures in the region. Since there is no meteorological observatory inFerozepur, data from Bathinda Airforce Station is adopted because it falls in the same zone as faras temperature is concerned.II) RainfallThe tract lies in the South-West of Punjab and is a part of dry zone. Most of therain comes from South-West Monsoon and is received from July to September small amount ofrainfall occurs in December and January. Rainfall is most erratic in character and often long dryspells are noticed even during the rainy season. Table 2 represents the rainfall record ofFerozepur 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 veryadversely. It has been observed that in plantations Kikar seeding upto 3-4 meters high also getkilled due to the severe attack of frost.V) Winds :-During summer, there are hot dry winds and in winter cold winds do affect thegrowth of the seedlings. Dust storms in Fazilka Tehsil in the month of May and June causedroght conditions & affect the vegetation considerably.2

1.5 Irrigation :The plantations of forest areas in this division meet their water requirementseither 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 irrigationfrom canals. Pumping sets must be arranged for this purpose. Sub-soil water is at a moderatedepth in the tract. The average water table of the area varies from 5 M to 20 M. However, theground 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 floodedduring rainy season. Area close to the river Sutlej get flooded and water logged conditionsprevail in low lying areas temporarily. The establishment of economical species in water loggedareas is a serious problem. In Abohar and Fazilka Ranges water logging is very severe. Moreadvanced techniques and professional knowledge should be applied in tackling such problematicareas. Digging of deep trenches or ditches to drain off water from water logged areas and thenplanting on the raised mounds can be one of the techniques that may prove useful in thereclamation 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 1198.50ha of block forest, 1138 ha of rail strip, 1946 ha of road strip, 3944.31 ha of canal strip & 1203ha of drain/bunds.(a) Strips :The total area of the strips along the roads, canals, railways, drains and Bunds isas under :-1 Road Strips 1946.00 ha2 Railway Lines 1138.00 ha3 Canals 3944.31 ha4 Drains/Bunds 1203.00 ha------------Total 8231.31 ha(b) Block Forests :19

The total area of block forest is 1198.50 ha. There are three categories of Block forestwhich 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 hawhich 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 forestsin 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 is420.00 ha.1.8 Width of the Strips :All the strips vary in size. Some are very narrow and are suitable for planting in asingle 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 andLudhiana-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 STRIPFORESTS(a) ROADSUnder the Inter Departmental Rules, 30' is to be left unplanted from the centre ofthe roads along State Highways In the case of National Highways, the first row of plants shouldbe 11 Meters (35') from the centre of the road.(b) RAILWAYS:20

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 beplanted under telephone and electricity lines, planting of Bougainvillea will splash colour alongthe strips. In case of embankments, slopes should not be planted. Inside of toe curves should notbe planted in the interest of visibility. Station yards may be planted in consultation with railwayauthorities. On both sides of the un-manned level crossing, no planting should be allowed within100 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 beplanted 7.5 meters (25') away from the "Daula" of the major canals. In case closer planting is tobe done the Divisional Forest Officer may, consult XEN Irrigation. Inter department rules areannexed in Annexure-XVII.1.10 STATE OF BOUNDARIESThe railway strips are well demarcated with the help of boundary pillars. Thereare boundary pillars along some of the roads and canals. There are no boundary pillars in case ofBunds and drain. Land plans for most of the canals, road and railway lines are available but incase of drains, bunds, distributaries and minor, they are not available in the Sub-divisions.1.11 LEGAL POSITION(a) STRIPSThe ownership of canal, road, bund and drain strips and Block forests vests withthe Punjab Government whereas that of Railway Strips vests with the Central Government. TheStrips have been transferred to the Punjab Forest Department for management vide Govt. LetterNo. 6058-Ft-II/3305 date 31.12.1957 and have been declared protected forests under Chapter-IVof I.

1.12 RIGHTS AND CONCESSIONS:The ownership of the forests vests with State Govt. People do not have any rightsover the forest areas except limited right of way. Block Forest areas are free from rights andconcessions,1.13 ENCROACHMENTS:Most of the forest areas are in the shape of linear strips and along thecultivated 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 keepthis menace under check. Information regarding land plans can further help in detectingencroachments in time end taking remedial measures. The state Government vide its notificationNo. 32 Leg./2004 dated 26.10.2004 has withdrawn the powers of collectors under P.P. act fromthe Divisional Forest Officers. As a result a lot of cases are pending in the courts of SDMs andthe problem of encroachment is not being taken care of properly.Most of the evacuee lands are under encroachment from a long time. Some of theevacuee lands never came under possession of the forest department and were transferred to theforest department only on paper.24

CHAPTER - IITHE FORESTS2.1 THE COMPOSITION AND THE CONDITION OF THE CROP:Before the Forest Department took over management of these forests, they werein the shape of scattered patches and uneven in age group. The original scrub vegetation is stillfound 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 undergrowth consists of Malha (Zizyphus numularia), Hins (Capparis sepiaria) and few other thornyshrubs.Over WoodThe 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), Ficusreligiosa (pipal), Butea monosperma (Dhak), Poplar species, Zizyphus mauritiana (Beri),Bombax ceiba (Simal) and Cassiaspecies.Under GrowthIt consists of Zizyphus nummularia (Mallah), Artemisia scoparia (Jhau), Calotropisprocera (Auk), Capparis sepiaria (Mins) Cannabis sativa (Bhang), Capparis aphylla (Karir),Carissa spinarum (Karonda), Cassia tora (Panwar), Lantana camara (Punj Phulli) and Adhatodavasica (Basuti).Ground FloraIt comprises of number of grasses, herbs and shrubs. Most of the strips especially thewater logged and low-lying areas, bear dense growth of Kana and Kahi (Sachrum spp.). Cynodondactylon (Khabbal) is found in unfavorable and moderately grazed areas. Cenchrus species(Amjan) grows in sandy places, Desmostachya bipinnata (Daby) flourishes under dry conditions.25

Panni (Vetiveria zizanioides) is met in heavy soils which get flooded, and Buter (Typhaelephentina) 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.WeedsThe most common weeds encountered are Parthenium hysterophorus, Lantana camaraand Amaranthus retrofiexus. Typha angustata (paatiru) and Eichhornia crassipes (waterhyacinth) are commonly found in stagnant water on stretches and indicates permanent waterlogging conditions. Prosopis juliflora has also invaded certain strips primarily in saline areasStatus of Natural RegenerationThe condition of natural regeneration is very poor and in some places almost nonexistent.The condition is worse in strips subject to high biotic pressure and interference. Nosignificant effort was made to regenerate the areas naturally during the last few decades.2.2 Injuries to which crop is liable2.2.1 Natural calamity2.2.1.1 FireDuring summer months, the forest fires are a regular feature in the forests. The forestshaving thick growth of kana, kahi and dhab grasses have the danger of forest fires in the hotseason. Forest fires also occur after the harvesting season when the farmers in the adjoining areasburn 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 toyoung plantations. Prolonged winter drought also causes damage to young crops. The effects offrost are more severe in case of winter droughts. In saline soils, physiological drought due tohigh content of salts in soil causes considerable damage to the plantations. This situation couldbe averted by irrigation wherever possible.2.2.1.3 FrostsDue to heavy frost, the seedlings of Neem, Kikar, Teak and Mango get damaged. Insaline patches, the crop gets affected to a greater extent.26

2.2.2 GrazingGrazing and browsing is a sever threat to the young plantations in the strip forests as theadjoining fields are cultivated and cattle have no other place for grazing. The major reason forthis grazing pressure is the shrinking of pasture areas in the village common lands due tochanged land-use pattern. Though the percentage of migrant grazers coming from neighboringstates like Rajasthan is relatively low, their effect is quite drastic. This practice of permitting ofgrazing has to be discouraged and should be strictly enforced in future also as the damage causedby grazing and browsing is very high.The measures to control the menace of grazing should be discussed in the Chapter ofMiscellaneous Regulations (Chapter XIV).2.2.3 Insects and pestsIn the previous Working Plan period insect and pest attack was severe in Kikar andShisham and there was a large scale casualty of these species. The department had engaged ateam of scientists from Y.S.Parmar University, Solan, Himachal Pradesh to study the occurrenceof drying of these species. The study report has attributed this mortality to combination of factorslike change in climate, depletion of ground water level apart from pests and diseases.2.2.4 Illicit FellingThere is a tendency of the farmers to remove trees along their fields from the strips/ blockforest and gradually encroach upon Government land. The local people also cut trees to meettheir requirements of timber. The intensity of this type of felling is high near the towns andvillages. Apart from this, organized gang of illicit fellers are also present in the Ferozepur forestdivision. The incidences of illicit feling are more frequent during winter season.27

CHAPTER - IIIUTlLIZATION OF THE FOREST PRODUCE3.1 Agricultural Customs and Wants of the People:The local population is mostly dependent upon agriculture and there is a heavy demandof fuel wood and small timber for agricultural implements. Besides these, there is demand ofgood timber for furniture making, house construction, bodyfbuilding of trucks and buses, makingsports goods etc. A number of wood based industries have come up in the state and the demandfor 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 areShisham, Eucalyptus and Kikar. Kikar is used for making agricultural implements. Eucalyptuswood is used for battens, construction, and in making crates. These are in great demand inPunjab and neighboring states. Poplar wood is being sought for matchstick, Plywood andpacking industry. Mulberry wood is used by the sports goods industry in Jalandhar. Eucalyptusbillets are supplied to a paper mill. New units of plywood and hard board have also come upwhich use Poplar, Mango and even Eucalyptus as raw material. 'Kana' and 'Kahi' are the twograsses 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 localpeople.3.3 Lines of Export:A network of link roads and district roads connect with the National Highway No.10 and15 passing through the Ferozepur Forest Division. Similarly the Northern Railway has a goodnetwork of railway lines in the Division. Therefore there is enough communicationinfrastructures available for the export of material even to long distances outside the state.28

3.4 Methods of Exploitation and their Costs:Exploitation of timber is done through two agencies- the Forest Department, which marksthe trees that are to be felled and the Punjab State Forest Development Corporation, who doesthe actual felling. Felling, conversion and transportation are done on mechanical and economicalbasis. Imported tools and machinery like power chain saws have been introduced for thispurpose. 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 ishanded over to them. The Forest Department gets royalty on various trees exploited or sold bythe Corporation.Sometimes when the Corporation is not in a position to cut all the trees offered, thenthese 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 thePSFDC and are revised from time to time to keep pace with the market trends of the openmarket. The prevalent price as fixed by the PSFDC is enclosed for reference:Table 3.1Schedule of rates of the felling of trees/conversion into timber and firewood and sawing atthe sawmills of the Punjab State Forest Development Corporation Limited.(Applicable w.e.f. 1.04.2004)ItemParticulars of WorkRate (Rs.)No.(A) Felling and Conversion:-1.

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 asthey fell the trees without losing the moisture and thus to get more weight age. However, thePunjab State Forest Development Corporation Ltd. sells the round and sawn timber by volumeonly. 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 suchrise.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 undervide Punjab Govt.

CHAPTER - IVSTAFF AND LABOUR SUPPLY4.1 STAFF:The forests covered under this Working plan fall in five Ranges of FerozepurForest Division. These are Zira, Ferozepur, Fazilka, Jalalabad and Abohar. These are beingcontrolled by the D.F.O, from District Headquarters (Ferozepur). Since the work load hasincreased due to the various development schemes, the staff in the Ranges is not adequate. Thepresent position of the staff in the five ranges and Divisional Office is given in the TableNo.5.The present position of staff in the Ferozepur Forest Division is very meager. Due toshortage of field staff it is very difficult to protect the forest as such. Therefore it is stronglyrecommended that the sanctioned strength of staff should immediately be given in the interest ofProtection, Conservation and Development of forests. In absense of official staff the functioningof important branches like Accounts, Establishment, Revenue etc suffer a lot, therefore it isstrongly recommended that sanctioned strength of official staff shall be provided immediately.TABLE 4.1PRESENT POSITION OF STAFFS.No. NAME OF POST SANCTIONED STRENGTH ACTUALLY WORKING REMARKS1 D.C.F. 1 1 -2 A.C.F. 1 0 -13 Forest Ranger. 7 2 -54 Deputy Ranger 2 2 -5 Forester 18 11 .76 Forest Guard 66 44 -227 Superintendent 1 0 -16 Assistant 1 2 .19 Clerk 7 5 -235

CHAPTER-VPAST SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT5.1 General History of ForestPrior to the transfer of Strip Forests to the Forest Department in 1957, these weremanaged by the respective departments. After transfer of these strips to the forest department, thestrips were taken for plantation works.Apart from the strip forests, Punjab Government vide memo no. 2928-Ft-71/3934 dated15.10.1971 transferred an area of 3541 acres 4 canal, 13 Marlas (1434 Ha) Gair MumkinEvacuee land to the Punjab Forest Department for raising plantations. Out of the above, majorchunk was in Ferozepur forest division. There is a major problem of encroachment on this forest.5.2 Past Systems of ManagementPrevious working plans i.e. RC Bhagat’s working plan (1987-1999) and Dharminder Sharma’sWorking plans (2000-01-2009-10) have prescribed five working circles i.e. Canal WorkingCircle, Rail Working Circle, Road Working Circle, Drain and Bund Working Circle and BlockWorking Circle. It is observed that although yield has been prescribed but suggested greenfelling as per the prescriptions have not been applied to these working circles. The felling of onlythe dead and dried trees and that required for development purpose (under approved cases ofForest Conservation Act, 1980) has been carried out.These working plans have primarily concentrated in improving the stocking of these foreststhrough plantations.5.3 Inter Departmental RulesPlanting 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 onboth sides of National Highways and 9.5 m (30ft) on roads other than National Highways. AlongRailways the distance of the first row is to be 7.5 m (25ft) from the center of the line. Noplanting is to be done inside of the curves, on the slopes of the embankments and within 100 mlength of unmanned crossings.38

By and large, inter-departmental rules have been observed. Planting under high powertransmission lines and telephone lines has been avoided for obvious reasons. However, there isno 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 theJBIC project from 1999 to 2005. The success of these plantations have been mixed, where everthese plantations have established successfully. A certain amount of thinning and other culturaloperations is prescribed to improve the productivity of these forests.5.5 Past revenue and expenditure: Past revenue and expenditure are given in table no. 6Table 5.1Past Revenue and ExpenditureSr. No. Year Revenue (Rs.)

Theintroduction of five working circles viz. road working circle, canal working circle, rail workingcircle and Bund/drain working circle is fully justified. The basic purpose of creating these 5working circles was to monitor and assess the progress of plantations under each category ofstrip, and it has been achieved to a considerable extent. It has increased the stocking of aparticular reach of strip according to its capacity and locality factors, rather than enforcinguniformity of a particular species.The success of the working plan is indicated by the fact that the total growing stock hasmarginally increased. In the previous working plan the growing stock was 327813 m3 whilecurrent the growing stock is 345996 m3. However the growing shock of kikar has decreasedfrom 146464 m3 to 101858 m3. This can be attributed mainly to large scale mortality of kikar inrecent periods, a phemenon frequent in the northern India. The growing stock of Eucalyptus hasincreased during the previous working plan period.Over the period of working plan, even the growing stock of individual species has shownan increasing trend except for Shisham and kikar. The decline in the growing stock of Shishamhas specific reasons as of increase in the volume of the dead, dry or fallen Shisham trees over42

these years and this volume had to be disposed off although no felling of green Shisham wereprescribed in the working plan.On the whole, the silvicultural systems proposed by the working plan have beenfollowed. Other recommendations like rotation, marking rules, methods of executing felling andplanting rules etc. have been followed in all the five working circles. Due to increase in volumeof dead dry trees, there has been almost no working of green trees as per working planprescriptions.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 veryless, it is recommended that Shisham, which is the state tree and also a good timber be planted inbetter areas instead of Eucalyptus. Government forests should not be used for short rotationspecies that are being raised by the farmers and Government should not be a competitor of thefarmers.43

6.1 GENERAL:CHAPTER VIGrowth & Yield StatisticsThe forests of this Division, strips as well as blocks have varied types of soils. Nogrowth data regarding any type of spp. is available. The growth of various species variesaccording to the locality factors. Hence, general volume tables for all the species applicable to allarea of the state has been adopted.6.2 GENERAL VOLUME TABLEworking plan.6.3 KIKAR:The volume table applicable for all the species in the reproduced as under:Table 6.1General Volume TableSr. No. Girth in Cms.

Growth of the same species varies with the change of locality factors such as soiland irrigation facilities. It is seen that Kikar raised along the roads, canals and drains achievesbetter girth than that raised along the Railway tracks.6.4 SHISHAM:The Research and Training Division, Punjab has carried out study of variousShisham Plantations in the state and the volume table for different-diameter classes has beencompiled. The same is as follows:44

Kikar is mostly utilised for batons, pallets,agricultural implements, fuel wood etc. Eucalyptus is also utilized for above purposes, inaddition its wood is utilized in copper smelter, paper and pulp scaffolding materials etc. These45

species are grown to get maximum volume in shortest possible time. Therefore, rotation forEucalyptus and Kikar has been fixed at 25 years.According to I.D. Mohindru's yield table for Kikar (Pb.

PART - IIFUTURE MANAGEMENTDISCUSSED AND PRESCRIBED47

CHAPTER -IBASIS OF PROPOSAL1.1 General objectives of managementIn conformity to the National Forest Policy 1988 and the fact that the area under treecover is very low in this division, general objects of management of this working planshall be as under.1. To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livelihood opportunities to thelocal communities and conservation & restoration of biodiversity.2 To conserve and enhance the existing tree cover through afforestation of suitableindigenous species, as per site condition.3 To increase the productivity of forests to meet the bonafide needs of local people of fuelwood and fodder.4 To produce high quality timber trees of various species by adopting improved techniquesand 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 throughavenue 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 yieldand revenue to the department.1.2 Methods of treatment to be adopted1.2.1 General principlesIn order to achieve the above objectives various treatments based on the silviculturalrequirements of species and potential productivity of site are necessary. Based on these two, thetreatments 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 extentsimultaneously and some failures have been observed, necessitating the re-planting of thearea. Due to these reasons, most of the strips have mixture of species and age gradationswith intermittent scattered blank patches. Most of the compartments have some blankpatches, which need planting; some dense crops of pole require thinning, some over-mature,48

diseased trees are required to be removed while some young regeneration needs to betended. Under these circumstances it is being proposed to treat the compartment as a wholeand carry out all the operations which are required according to the silviculturalrequirements of the various species, while the blanks will be planted keeping in view thelocality 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 speciese.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 plantedwherever possible. Tall plants may be planted on roadside because of the difficult siteconditions. Canal strips should invariably be used for planting irrigated crops and trees ofeconomic 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 Eucalyptusetc. Areas near habitation shall be taken up for planting by providing tree guards or by usingbarbed wire fencing. The choice of species in these areas shall be done in consultation withlocal people. Low lying areas will be treated by raising suitable species on ridges and mounds of earth toprotect these from floods during rainy season. Areas where soil is saline/alkaline will be reforested with suitable species by using soilamendments like gypsum, manure etc., Thinning and improvement fallings will be carried out wherever necessary for thebetterment of the crop. For development of wildlife especially of avifauna, fruit bearing trees like Ficus and jamunetc., 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 ForestTwo important wildlife sanctuaries namely Abohar wildlife sanctuary and Harike wildlifesanctuary are located in the Ferozepur division. Issues related to Harike wildlife sanctuary and49

Abohar wildlife sanctuary is managed by the DFO Wildlife, Ferozepur. These areas should bemanaged as per the approved management plans for these sanctuaries. The demarcation of ecosensitivezones as per the recent judgment of honorable Supreme Court can however be donejointly 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 isworth mentioning, here that the presence of wildlife is almost negligible in areas other than inSanctuaries or block forests. Therefore, this working Plan does not feel the necessity to treat thewild 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 goodnumber of birds population – aquatic, terrestrial as well as arboreal. The presence of water, tallweeds, grasses, reeds and dead, dry trees make these areas very conducive for the avifaunapopulation.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 materialsfrom the surrounding area.4 Protection from illegal poaching and prosecuting offenders strictly as perprovisions 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 wellas consequences in case of violations.1.3 CONSTITUTION OF WORKING CIRCLES1.3.1 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 circleexcept the areas that are part of eucalyptus working circle.50

Crop in this circle in general is irregular in respect of composition, density and age. In manyroad strips there is a middle aged mixed crop with some gaps in and near habitation while insome areas the crop reaching the maturity. Due to the overall usefulness of the species, shisham will be preserved for future use. Forshisham 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 lifeand 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 beencroached by the farmers. Many strips along many National Highways/State highways have been diverted for roadwidening. To achieve the general object of management i.e. to increase the aesthetic value of thecounty side, ornamental species should be planted. Efforts should be made to restore the strips and to increase the green cover on the road sidesnear the habitation area.In order to achieve the general objectives of this Working Plan and keeping inview the method of treatment to be adopted, the following working circles are proposed in thecurrent working plan.1. Roads Working Circle2. Canals Working Circle3. Drains/Bunds/Escapes Working Circle4. Rail Working Circle5. Block Forest Working Circle6. Eucalyptus working circle7. Plantation (overlapping) working circle8. Joint Forest Management (overlapping) working circle9. NTFP (overlapping) working circle10. Wild Life Management (overlapping) working circle11. Forest Protection (overlapping) working circle51

1.4 Blocks and Compartments:Each strip on either side would constitute a block. Each block is further divided intocompartments. A compartment in strip will constitute 5 kms or part thereof on either side it canbe 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-1Species Rotation (years) Exploitable Girth(cm.)Shisham 60 180Kikar 30 105Euc 25 130Misc. 60 180The yield shall be controlled by volume and the annual coup shall be worked out accordinglyVon Mantel's Formula will be used to calculate the yield of each species separately as follows :-Y = 2V/rWhereY = Annual yield in cubic metres.V = Growing stock in cubic metresr = Rotation of the species in years.According to the policy of the Government of Punjab no green shisham trees shall befelled. However, yield for shisham has been prescribed keeping in view the volume of thespecies 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 themid-term review shall be done during the eighth year.52

CHAPTER – IIROAD WORKING CIRCLE2.1 GENERAL CONSTITUTION:`The Road working circle covers all the roads such as National Highway, StateHighway, Major and Minor roads including link roads except for the strips/compartments whichare part of eucalyptus working circle falling in the civil jurisdiction of Ferozepur and FazilkaDistricts.

In some areas Eucalyptus has been grown as pure crop. Shisham is mostly pole tomiddle aged mixed with Kikar & Eucalyptus. Regeneration of Shisham at favourable sites62

through root suckers is observed. A few successful shisham plantations have been raised in thisworking circle. Some sites where plantations have not shown encouraging growth are the resultof biotic interference. These areas need special efforts for making the plantation a success. Tallplants can be planted in low lying areas. Special efforts of protection like barbed wire fencing onall 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 during2009-10, on the basis of which growing stock of the Division has been estimated. The incrementput on after the enumeration has not been accounted for while calculating the yield, thus someadditional volume will be available in future,The detail of the growing stock (species wise) is given Table No. II-22.5 METHOD OF TREATMENT:The emphasis will be laid on the complete treatment of a particular compartmentaccording to the silvicultural requirements and its land capability. Shisham stock will bepreserved as its regeneration is not satisfactory. No felling will be carried out in avenue line. Inthese areas only dead & dry trees will be felled. Avenue lines will be planted with ornamentalshade bearing & fruit trees. Coppice obtained from Eucalyptus will be supplemented by artificialplanting to stock the area completely.A provenance trial of eucalyptus and kikar has been conducted at Pyariana andTalwandi respectively at Ludhiana-Ferozepur road in year 1991-92. Mature crop is standing atboth the places. Proper efforts shall be taken to take these provenance trial to a logicalconclusion. Felling in areas will be taken up one year in advance before planting.TABLE II-2STATEMENT SHOWING TOTAL GROWING STOCK OF ROAD WORKINGCIRCLESrNo.Species V IV III IIA IIB IA IB TOTAL VOL(m3)1 Shisham 1064 5548 1989 1468 915 462 356 11802 7959.342 Kikar 3349 12191 9869 7837 4069 1968 1072 40355 33350.763 Euc. 1576 9120 8758 6772 3614 1748 875 32463 28611.14 Misc 16550 42665 17831 5506 1521 618 448 85139 29162.25Total 22539 69524 38447 21583 10119 4796 2751 169759 99083.4563

2.6 THE SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM:Considering the declining tree cover due to heavy drying up of trees, selectioncum improvement felling system is proposed.2.7 ROTATION:under:The rotations of the various species and exploitable girth at the end of the rotation is asName of Species Rotation in years Explo. girthShisham 60 180Kikar 30 105Euc 25 130Misc 60 1802.8 CALCULATION OF YIELD:The yield will be controlled by volume. The annual coupe shall be worked out asper silvicultural requirements and land capability. As per Von Mantels formula, the yield ofShisham, Kikar, Eucalyptus and Misc. species can be prescribed for felling as under:Y= 2V/rV= Species wise growing stock.r = Rotation of the species in years. .Y= Annual Yield in m 3 Table II-3Yield Calculation of Road WorkingCircleSr No. Shisham Kikar Euc Misc TotalV 7959.34 33350.76 28611.1 29162.25 99083.45r 60 30 25 60Y(Annual Yield cubic Meter) 265.31 2223.38 2288.89 972.08 5749.66Y(Annual Yield prescribed forfelling)132.66 1111.69 1144.44 486.04 2874.83Therefore, total prescribed yield for felling from Road Working Circle is2874.83 m3. If this yield is not obtained from dead dry trees then remaining yield should beobtained from Mesquite, Acacia tortallis, Eucalyptus, Kikar and other trees in this order.Mesquite shall be replaced by some suitable indigenous species. Wherever mesquite has invadedthe ground flora, it should be uprooted before planting. On the other hand where young64

plantations have already come up under mesquite, the mesquite trees should be marked forfelling so that growth of indigenous species can be enhanced.The yield of each species to be felled annually has been tabulated on prioritybasis. The priority list of strips in each working circle has been given and officer not below rankof 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, themesquite tree should be marked for felling so that growth of indigenous species can beimproved.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 ForestOfficer .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 volumegiven in table No. 15.xii)Thinning can be carried out if necessary65

xiii) Standard trees on the boundary of farmers shall be left while marking so as to act asdemarcation pillers.2.10 METHOD OF EXECUTING FELLING:1 Care should be taken to avoid damage to the transmission lines and young growth at thetime of felling.2 Trees should be felled away from the road or parallel to the road to avoid blockade of theroad.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 allowedbecause the coppice regeneration is poor in hot summer.2.11 PLANTING PROGRAMME: .i) Shade bearing and flowering trees shall be planted on National & StateHighways, Minor and Link Road planting of one species in a particular stretchshould be doneii) While carrying out plantation works inter-departmental rules must be observed.iii) Planting of fruit and ornamental trees should be done along with other economicspecies.iv) 1-2 trees of shade bearing species such as Pipal and Bohar should be planted inevery Km. They will provide shade for travelers and fruits for birds as well asenhance the aesthetic value of roads.v) The area felled in a particular year shall be taken up for planting during thenext 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 madeavailable for planting.66

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 respectof age, density and composition. Natural regeneration of various species is generally deficientdue 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 ofthe growing stock has been calculated and given in the Table No. III-23.5 METHOD OF TREATMENT:The compartment as a whole will be subjected to treatment according to itssilvicultral requirements. The Shisham stock is to be maintained as its regeneration is notkeeping pace with the intensity of the felling. Only dead, dry, diseased and malformed shishamtrees will be marked for felling. Coppice obtained from Eucalyptus felling should be protectedand supplemented with Eucalyptus plants.80

Since canal strips have good facility of irrigation, good quality Shisham plantations alongwith 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 withfarmer'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 forplanting3.6 SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM:Selection cum Improvement system of felling shall be followed.TABLE III-2STATEMENT SHOWING TOTAL GROWING STOCK OF CANAL WORKINGCIRCLESr. Species V IV III IIA IIB IA IB Total VolumeNo.1 Shisham 5248 19637 6845 3657 2085 1383 1517 40372 24353.952 Kikar 2515 12766 9273 9929 6934 3206 1860 46483 47397.853 Euc. 1636 10108 10504 9789 7019 3486 1969 44511 48699.454 Misc 9740 32761 11713 4091 1558 740 1348 61951 25997.35 Total 19139 75272 38335 27466 17596 8815 6694 193317 146448.63.7 ROTATION:The rotation of the various species along with their exploitable diameter at the endof their rotation period is enumerated as under:Table III-3S.No. Species Rotation In Years Exploitable Girth In Cm.1 Shisham 60 1802 Kikar 30 1053 Euc 25 1304 Misc 60 18081

3.8 CALCULATION OF YIELD:The yield is to be controlled by volume. The annual coupe shall be worked out asper silvicultural requirements and land capability. The Von Mantels formula regulates the yieldof Shisham,Eucalyptus, Kikar and Misc. as under:- .y= 2V/rV = Species wise growing stockr = Rotation of the species in years.Y = Annual Yield in cubic meters as per calculations.Table III-4Yield Calculation of Canal WorkingCircleSr No. Shisham Kikar Euc Misc TotalV ( m 3) 24353.95 47397.85 48699.45 25997.3 146448.6r ( Years) 60 30 25 60 -Y(Annual Yield in cubic 811.80 3159.86 3895.96 866.58 8734.19Meter)Y(Annual Yield prescribed forfelling) in m 3 /Years405.90 1579.93 1947.98 433.29 4367.09Therefore, total yield prescribed or felling from Canal Working Circle is half of totalyield i.e. 4367.09 m3. The average annual cut has been prescribed on a very conservative side asper 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 theTable No. III-4. Officer not below rank of Range officer will mark trees from green stock afterdeducting 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 anddepartmental felling should not exceed to average annual volume prescribed for felling exceptwhere the trees become dangerous to life and property. In cases where the felling is becomingmore than prescribed a deviation should be got approved from higher authorities.3.9 MARKING RULES:I) All trees except following shall be marked for fellinga) Avenue line along the service road of the main canals.82

) 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 irrigationdepartment 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 byForest 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 younggrowth at the time of felling.ii) Trees should be felled away from the service road or parallel to the road to avoidblockade.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 forproper 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 availablefor planting3.11 PLANTING RULES:i) Fast growing timber species should be planted in this working circle for maximumproductivity.ii) Inter-departmental rules may be observed while carrying out plantations.83

iii)iv)Valuable tree species such as Teak, Shisham Eucalyptus etc. should be given preference.The area felled in a particular year shall be taken up for planting during the next year andthe programme shall be prepared by D.F.O. (Territorial) in the same year and gotapproved by the competent authority.v) 1-2 trees of shade bearing species such as Pipal and Bohar should be planted in everyKilometers. They will provide shade for travelers and fruit for birds as well as enhancethe aesthetic value3.12 FELLING PROGRAMMEThe statement showing areas to be taken up for felling (in subsequent years)compartment wise is given in Table III-5PERIODSR.NO.Table III-5FELLING PROGRAMME FOR CANAL WORKING CIRCLE (Felled Vol in m 3 )NAME OF THE STRIPS COMP.

4.4 ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF CROP:In Ferozepur Forest Division enumeration down to 30 Cms. girth has been carried outduring 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-24.5 METHOD OF TREATMENT:As already stated, emphasis will be on complete treatment of a particular compartmentaccording to the silvicultural requirements and land capability. Shisham, which is very rare inthis working circle, should not be felled at all, as the regeneration even otherwise is not keepingpace 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 stockthe area.The felling should commensurate with planting and enough funds shall be madeavailable for planting4.6 SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM:Silvicultural system shall be selection cum improvement.TABLE IV-2STATEMENT SHOWING ABSTRACT OF TOTAL GROWING STOCK ALLOTTEDTO BUND/DRAIN WORKING CIRCLESr No Species V IV III IIA IIB IA IB TOTAL VOL(M3)1 Shisham 594 1909 614 634 305 127 108 4291 2779.12 Kikar 1000 4870 3020 1436 485 123 36 10970 5461.63 Euc. 887 2709 1634 2215 1751 816 408 10420 10523.84 Misc 3774 10215 2502 740 162 67 90 17550 4535.85 Total 6255 19703 7770 5025 2703 1133 642 43231 23300.37 ROTATION:The rotation for the various species along with their exploitable girth at the end of theirrotation is given as under:TABLE IV-3Species Rotation In Years Exploitable girth (In Cm.)Shisham 60 180Kikar 30 105Eucalyptus 25 130Misc. 60 18092

4.8 CALCULATION OF YIELD:As per method of treatment the yield would be regulated by volume.As per Von Mental's formula the annual yield for Kikar, Eucalyptus and Misc. specieshas been prescribed as under. -Y= 2V/rWhere .V = Total standing volume in Cubic meter.r = Rotation in years. . ,TABLE IV-4Yield Calculation of Bandh & Drain WorkingCircleSr No. Shisham Kikar Euc Misc TotalV 2779.1 5461.6 10523.8 4535.8 23300.3r 60 30 25 60 -Y(Annual Yield cubic 92.64 364.11 841.90 151.19 1449.84Meter)Y(Annual Yieldprescribed for felling)46.32 182.05 420.95 75.60 724.92. The cut has been prescribed on very conservative side as per instructions contained inthe guide lines for the preparation of the working plan. This will include the volume of dead, dryand fallen trees along with volume obtained from the silvicultural thinning. The volume removedin 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.93

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 ofspecies, as they can damage the lining of bunds & drains.VII All trees posing problem in deploying or operation of machinery by the irrigationdepartment 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 ForestDepartment 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 whilefelling.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 forbetter coppicing.iv) All the pits should be filled with earth after felling.4.11 PLANTING RULES: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 thisworking 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 theConservator of Forest.94

Eucalyptus, Kikar and Mulberry, Khair, Bill,Paper Mulberry, Ber and other species like Neem, Drek have been tried in the recent years. Thecrop is irregular in respect of age and density. Enumeration has been carried out in the Blockforests 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 betreated intensively as per silvicultural requirements and land capability. There is villagecalled Masta Gatti across the Border of Barbed wire fencing. The extent of encroachmentin the Chak Sarkar reserve forest is around 60 acres. Different cases have been registeredin different courts against these encroachers. Therefore it is pertinent to have permanentfencing in these block forest to avoid problem of encroachment and protection againstbiotic and abiotic pressure. It is urgent need of the hour to have complete demarcation ofthe whole of the block forest. After demarcation all around barbed wire fencing need tobe done to avoid problem of encroachment. With respect to irrigation in the Chak SarkarBlock Forest there are several deep water tubewells which need to be rejuvenated. Apartfrom deep water tubewell there is a minor known as Chhanga minor which feeds to thecompartment No. 3,5,6 & 20. Extension of this minor to the other compartments need to105

7.6 CALCULATION OF YIELD:The yield will be controlled by volume. The annual coupe shall be worked out asper silvicultural requirements & land capability. As per the Simon's modification of VanMantel's formula, the yield of Shisham, Kikar, Eucalyptus and Misc, species which can beprescribed for felling is as under :-Y= 2vr/r 2 -x 2WhereV = Species wise growing stock in the regulated working series.r = Rotation of species in years.Table VII-4Yield Calculation of Eucalyptus Working CircleSr No. Shisham Kikar Euc Misc TotalV (m 3 ) 2632.7 2217.9 62504.05 3063.75 70418.4r (year) 60 30 25 60 -x 20 10 10 20 -Y(Annual Yield cubic Meter) 98.73 166.34 5952.77 114.89 6332.73Y(Annual Yield prescribed forfelling)44.5 84.05 2976.38 57.45 3166.36Out of the 29776.38 m3 yield prescribed around 30% of the stocking will be retained as thestandards at the boundary of the farmers. Therefore, annual yield of about 2000 m3 will beharvested for Eucalyptus and overall annual yield will be around 70% of 3166 m3 i.e. 2200 m3from this working circle.7.7 MARKING RULES:1. Marking of all the trees should be done by Range Officer, which should be duly verifiedby 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 stripis 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 withthe Eucalyptus for felling.113

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 markedfor 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.7.8 METHOD OF FELLING:i) Felling in this working circle should preferably be done through Punjab State ForestDevelopment Corporation (PSFDC). Where ever it is not desirable to entertain the privatecontractor in the forest areas for forest protection purposes or concerns related to theregeneration, 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 beretained as standards. .7.9 PLANTING RULES:i) Adequate planting stock of eucalyptus and other species proposed to beplanted, should be raised in the forest nurseries well in time.ii) On broad canals along with Eucalyptus high yielding and commercial speciesshall be planted.iii) On small roads Eucalyptus along with ornamental plants shall be planted forbeautifying the country site.iv) Assured irrigation facilities are to be made before the planting is taken inhand.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 thenext year and the planting programme shall be prepared by D.F.O.(Territorial)in the same year and got approved by the competent authority.114

7.10 FELLING PROGRAMME:Prerequisites for felling in the Eucalyptus working circle is as follows :-1 Felling shall be carried only if the funds for artificial regeneration aremade available for the next year and a prior sanction fromPCCF(HOFF) regarding this should be obtained.2 Eucalyptus, indigenous and misc. species shall be planted in theseareas.3 Felling shall not be done in refractory areas or difficult sites wherechances of artificial regeneration are -.Compartment wise felling programme is given in Table VII-5Table VII-5FELLING PROGRAMME FOR EUCALYPTUS WORKING CIRCLEPERIODSR.NO.NAME OF THE STRIPS COMP.

CHAPTER -VIIIPLANTATION (OVERLAPPING) WORKING CIRCLE8.1 General ConstitutionThis working circle comprises of the whole area under Ferozepur Division andthose falling under road, canal, drain & bund, block forest and eucalyptus working circle as theseareas are suited for cultivation of different kinds of plants.8.2 Special Objects of Management:The special objects of management of this working circle are:1 To enhance the ecosystem services and to provide local livelihood opportunitiesto the local communities along with conservation and restoration of biodiversity.2 To improve the density and quality of forest cover by planting economicallyimportant tree species and adopting silvicultural techniques.3 To provide wood for agricultural implements, house construction and rawmaterial 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 forprogressively maximum sustained yield.8.3 Methods of ImprovementTo meet the target of the plantation in this division nurseries are essential forgeneration of plants. There is a large number of nurseries in this division, centrally located tomeet the demand of plants for planting in Govt. areas & private lands. Efforts should be made toraise new species according to the demand of public. Special efforts be made to raise ornamentalplants & 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 purposeplus trees of various species should be marked and its record should be maintained. Latesttechniques like mist chamber and green houses should be adopted. Covering of young plantsespecially of Neem should be done in the winter. List of Nurseries are mentioned below:-118

As soon asthe felling is over, the brushwood will be collected at suitable places far away from the standardsand disposed off. The stumps of trees left, if any, shall be uprooted, except that of greeneucalyptus. The shrubs and tall grasses shall be cleared. Areas in which sufficient density ofcoppice is obtainable shall not be taken up for plantation. In these areas, protection measuresincluding fencing shall be taken. Eucalyptus coppice shall be supplemented by plantingpolythene bag/root trainer raised plants of eucalyptus. The areas however, after taking 1 st coppiceshall be uprooted of stumps completely, and thorough soil working shall be done.119

The planting distance shall ordinarily be 3m from plant to plant in a row and each row3m apart (3mx3m). However this may be modified as per the requirements of the species and thelocality 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, wherevernecessary. The planting shall start after the first shower of monsoon and completed as early aspossible. Late planting or winter planting should be avoided as far as possible. Good healthyplants raised in polythene bags or root trainers should be used for plantation.Arrangements for irrigation must be done beforehand. At least two irrigations during themonths 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 raisingroot-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 stockused for beating up should consist of healthy and vigorous plants.Frost tender species like neem, kikar, teak etc. if not planted under shade, shall becovered 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 byplanting on mounds and ridges constructed for the purpose. The different models for plantationworks will be adopted as per site of the plantation areas. The following models of plantationwhich are being adopted in plain areas will be selected.Table VIII-.2: Planting Program of Road W.C.YearArea fromTotalFelling (ha) Blank (ha) (ha.)2010-2011 10 50 602011-2012 9 55 642012-2013 11 45 562013-2014 10 30 402014-2015 10 21 312015-2016 7 37 442016-2017 6 42 482017-2018 9 37 452018-2019 5 23 282019-2020 5 22 272020-2021 10 26 362021-2022 7 25 32120

The size of pits & trenches is given in the model in Table No.VIII-6. This modelhas been calculated at @ Rs. 130/- per day daily wage rate & the costs will be calculated as perprevailing daily wage rates during the period of plantations.8.5.2 Model for Saline/Alkaline AreasThe saline & alkaline soils with higher PH values will be treated as per the modelprepared 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 isgiven Table No.VIII-7122

8.5.3 Water logged area Treatment ModelThe low lying areas along canals & roads where water remains standing for longperiod & the area with poor drainage will be treated under this model. In this model, provisionfor preparation of ridges & slots on ridges has been kept so that the plants should not be in waterlogged conditions. The advance earth work for such areas is to be completed before onset ofmonsoon otherwise earth work in such area will not be possible & plantation will be late due tostanding water. The choice of species for such area has to be kept in mind. Only water loggingresistant species i.e. Arjun, Willow, Eucalyptus to some extent, Jamun, Terminallia species etcare to be selected for such areas.

CHAPTER – IXJOINT FOREST MANAGEMENT (OVERLAPPING) WORKING CIRCLE9. IntroductionOut of the total geographical area, Ferozepur has got about 17 percent of area underforest cover. So the dependence of people on the forests for timber requirement is high ie. interms of fuel-wood, timber and small wood requirement and grazing to a small extent. Theprotection of the existing forests has become the biggest challenge now a days. So the onlypossible way by which the existing forests can be protected is participation of people whoreside in and around these forests. So it is of utmost important that JFM is a bare necessity inthese areas.This working circle has been constituted for implementation of the policies andguidelines of the Joint Forest Management formulated by Central and State Governments. Ithas been decided that the welfare of the people should be integrated with the forestmanagement. As these villagers not only depend on the forest produce like timber and fuelwood but awareness about managing forest and benefits of planting a tree is lacking amongthe dwellers. On the other hand, the protection and conservation of forests cannot be effectivewithout 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. Sothe Government of Punjab passed a resolution on 14 th July 1993 for the constitution of JFMcommittees. This was revised vide resolution dated 18 th November 2003 keeping in mind theguidelines of GOI issued in this regard.9.1 General ConstitutionThe general principle followed in constitution of this working circle has been explainedearlier. A large part of this division has potential for developing into good JFM workingareas. However stress may be given to those areas where there are more barren areas in theform of community land, institutional land or wasteland as well as closeness to the forestland. This selection may be judiciously done by Divisional Forest Officer to create sense ofresponsibility towards the forest and to suit the needs of protection of state’s valuable forests.133

9.2 Special objects of Management.1. To give adequate protection to the existing forest resources in the division througheffective people's participation.2. To maintain and improve the quality of the environment, that is, the existingvegetation/tree cover should be maintained for the conservation and improvement ofthe environment and for the better living conditions for human beings.3. To reduce the pressure on the forests by diverting the pressure with the alternativesources of energy.4. To manage the forests in such a way that there is effective sharing of usufructs to thepeople 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 14 th July 1993 for the constitution ofJFM committees. This was revised vide resolution dated 18 th November 2003, keeping inmind the guideline of GOI issued in this regard. Later all the JFMCs in each forest divisionwere coordinated under the Forest Development Agency (FDA’s) for that particulardivision. The main objectives of this agency are:-• Conservation, management and increase in the forest cover in the project area, in asustainable 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 mentionedabove.• Employment generation to most needy section of the society, particularly women, SC/STand 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 subsequentlydecreasing their dependence on forest for fuel.134

• To inculcate the idea of conservation of natural resources among the members of JFMsand other people.• To ensure the active people participation in the implementation of the different objectivesof the project.• To share the usufructs with the local people.To effectively implement this objectives, a percentage of the allocated funds can be usedfor entry point activities which are taken up in the JFM areas so that active coordinationbetween the Forest Development agency and the villagers improves. Micro plans are also tobe drawn up for investment and production activities after taking into consideration the localneeds of the people. Self Help Groups can also be constituted. The money saved can be usedfor developing other income generating activities. Along with these there is increased need toimprove the marketing and processing facilities so that the villagers world is open to majormarketing places economically. As the self reliance of the Villagers increase, theirdependence on the forests and resulting, destruction of these valuable resources graduallydecreases.The FDAs have an executive committee and a general body. The Conservator of Forestsheads the executive body of the FDA. There would be representation from all the linedepartments and JFM committees. The Divisional Forest Officer would be the ChiefExecutive Officer of the FDA. The executive body has to meet once in every year to elect itsoffice holders from among the JFMC members. The general body also should meet regularlyin a year to decide on their activities.The constitution of the FDA's will bring new zest into the working of the Joint ForestManagement Programme in Punjab.9.4 Present Condition of Forest.The natural forests have deteriorated alarmingly for the reason that they were notallowed growing naturally up-to maturity for potential yield. The plantations raisedartificially could not be protected to their rotation ages except in a few areas. Constraint toprotection 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 outof management every year. The result of deterioration and depletion of forests is that an acute135

crisis of timber, firewood and other forest produces exists in the markets and particularly thetimber 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 shouldensure social fencing in all the areas where the problem exists.3. Forest protection forces should be formed to aid the forest patrolling parties to protectthe forests.4. The demand of timber, fuel wood and other forest produces are to be met up from theexisting 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 management7. 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 andconservation of the existing forests.136

9.6 Joint Forest Management in Ferozepur Forest DivisionFerozepur forest Division is basically a plain district and majority of its land is coveredunder agriculture. Few people reside near government forest areas and those people earn theirlivelihood by working in the Government forests, selling minor forest produces andcollecting fuel wood and grass from the forest areas.People do not think that the forests are their own property and are to be protected fortheir own interest Lack of awareness about the forests and absence of all rights over theadjacent forests. The forest staff with their limited protection force cannot protect suchvaluable wealth open all over. As a result, the illegal extractions from the forests are goingon. The forests near the villages and habitations can be protected safely if the villagers comeforward for their protection. They will like to come forward if they are made to feel that theforest wealth is their own wealth and they can earn livelihood out of it. They will sharerevenue with the Government, which will form their regular source of income. They will liketo continue with their regular income and such a feeling in their mind will lead them forprotection of their own wealth of forests. Once they start giving protection, no illicit fellersfrom outside can get into the forests for illegal extraction and the forests are safe. So it is theactive cooperation of the forest dwellers, which is necessary for protection of the crops fortheir growing to the age maturity.Joint Forest Management is necessary for another main reason also. The forest areas aredwindling 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 tosee that the yield from the existing forests increases to the maximum extent. We can meet upthe demand of the other timbers, fuel wood and other forest produces from small forest areasprovided we could protect. So, with a much smaller areas than the existing forest area in theState and with an efficient & successful protection, we can meet up the demands of all kindsof forest produces of the people and the Joint Forest Management Policy can provide thekind of protection such a small area of plantation need. The forests are not maintain forproducing required forest produces for the people, but for maintenance of the environmentalconditions for survival of man. In Ferozepur, the Reserved Forest/Protected forests have beenconstituted legally and there were no procedural mistakes. But the forest dwellers who were137

illiterate were unable to understand the Government actions towards declaration of ReservedForests and its consequences on their life supporting system. The forest villagers couldextract any forest produce from their adjacent forests for earning their livelihood but suchfacilities were withdrawn with the declarations of Reserved Forests. The right they had waslost. As a result the suffering of the common forest dwellers have increased. The introductionof Joint Forest Management Policies is an attempt to begin natural life supporting system forthe forest dwellers.Here all the JFMCs are working under FDA. In all these JFCMs a variety of entry pointactivities 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 decorationmaterials, self starter generators, bicycles, cows, rubber sheet machines, etc. Several assetsthat were created as entry point activities were handed over to the self help groups for upkeepmaintenance and future benefit sharing. Self-help groups are going to be created which willbecome instrumental in creation of many assets out of their saving and protection of forestshas also improved tremendously due to their involvement.Still the challenges are many and much more needs to be done for the better future offorests of Ferozepur. Some forest villages or habitations near good plantation areas or forestareas are to be selected for implementations of the Joint Forest Management Scheme. Theshare of revenue to the forests dwellers may be fixed as per the latest provisions of thegovernment. Share of revenue will be precondition of protection to the forests.Celebrative governmental development programmes can be taken up with thedepartment of rural development of the state for the overall development of these forestvillages. 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 wherethere is successful implementation of the JFM programmes.9.7 Sharing of Usufructs with the JFM Beneficiaries1. To promote the success of Joint Forest Management bring faith in the JFM.138

2. The beneficiaries can be allowed to collect the minor forest produce, dead and fallenleaves and fodder free of cost without causing damage to the forests.3. Areas under Eucalyptus coppice with standards need adequate protection to theEucalyptus 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 withthe beneficiaries to meet their domestic needs. For this approvals may be got from theconcerned Divisional Forests Officer with the consent of the executive committee andthe Range Officer.139

CHAPTER – XNON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCE [OVERLAPPING] WORKING CIRCLE10.1 IntroductionThe non timber forests products are products of biological origin other than wood derivedfrom forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests. They may be gathered from the wild orproduced in forest plantations, agroforestry plantations and from trees outside forests. NTFPsinclude 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 toincrease awareness of these products, their management and market potential. However, there isshortage of available information and there are few means effective in disseminating theinformation necessary for the sustainable management and marketing of these resources andproducts.In the past, management of NTFP resources has not been dealt with in a concertedmanner and this aspect of forestry has remained largely neglected. Records of forest divisionshow a data of revenue receipts of small amounts by way of auctions of grasses like Sacchrumspontaneuam (Kahi) & Erianthus Munja (Kana), & fruits like Jamun in past, that too is slowlydecreasing.These products even in small viable quantities are not available now. It appears thatmedicinal plants cultivation, mushroom production and production of honey are the NTFPs forfuture in this area and the department needs to focus its attention in these specific areas.10.2 Herbal Gardens/ ParksThe main objective for developing these Herbal Parks is ex-situ conservation ofmedicinal 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 andproducing quality seeds and seedlings for distribution to farmers. These centers in the long runshould also emerge as potential tourist attraction points in Punjab. These herbal parks are140

primarily of demonstrative importance for interested farmers and would also act as nurserieswhere good quality medicinal herbs, shrubs and tree species of medicinal importance can beraised and sold at nominal price to the farmers. A Medicinal plant nursery was established atFazilka in 2007-08 under the aid of Medicinal Plant Board.Suitable plants of Mmedicinal value which have the potential to grow in the tract arementioned below: Table X-1Sr. No. Botanical Name Local Name1 Acacia senegal Khairi2 Albizia lebbeck Kala Siris3 Albizia procera Safed Siris4 Alstonia scholaris Saptparn5 Azadirachta indica Neem6 Bauhinia racemosa Jhinjha7 Bauhinia variegata Kachnar8 Bombax ceiba Semal9 Butea monosperma Dhak10 Cassia fistula Amaltas11 Cordia dichotoma Lasura12 Cordia gharaf Gondi13 Ficus bengalensis Barh/Bargad14 Ficus glomerata Gullar15 Ficus religiosa Peepal16 Kigelia pinnata Balam Kheera17 Lagerstroemia speciosa Flosrejni18 Mangifera Indica Aam19 Melia azadirachta Bakain20 Mitragyna parvifolia Desi Kadam21 Moringa oleifera Sohanjana22 Parkinsonia aculeata Parkinsonia23 Phoenix sylvestris Khajur24 Pongamia pinnata Badam Papri141

As more and more farmers are adoptingthe cultivation of medicinal plants, this could lead to diversification in the cropping pattern in thefarming sector.10.3 Other activitiesSome other activities that can be promoted in the division are;143

10.3.1 Apiculture/ Bee KeepingHoney 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 thehive is used in lip balms, whereas royal jelly is used to strengthen the human body, forimproving 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 byconsumers and about 10 per cent is used in Ayurvedic and pharmaceutical production. Honeybees during foraging for pollen and nectar from flowers of different plant species; enhanceagricultural 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 arereared in hives in India. Currently, China captures 40 per cent of the world market and thebiggest importers of honey are Germany, Japan and the United states. Germany alone importsabout 90 thousand tonnes of honey annually. India produces about 70000 tonnes of honey everyyear of which 25-27000 tonnes is being exported to more than 42 countries, including theEuropean Union, Middle East and the United states. The major honey-producing states areHaryana. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. Forest honey can fetch premium pricesbeing totally chemical and pesticide free. However, the Department has to facilitate the evolutionof a viable certification process as well as marketing linkages.The tree cover on strips affords commercial opportunity for honey production. Beekeeping has already made progress in Punjab and the interested people are always in search ofspace to install honey combs. The strip forests are occasionally found to be used as honeyproduction areas clandestinely because the department does not allow private people to use forestareas. It is time to re-look at this position and the department needs to evolve a positive andprogressive policy to encourage apiculture in partnership with interested people.10.3.2 Income generation activities from forest productsIncome generation activities can be created for self Help Groups (SHGs) from minorforest produce like like kahi, Kana. Sericulture is other option which can be adopted for incomegeneration because silk worms eat on Sahtut (Morus alba) leaves. The twigs of Morus alba canalso be used for making baskets (tokris). Shatoot plantation can be promoted under agro-forestry144

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 invillages) made from cotton ropes can be other optiono for SHGs. PFDC may facilitate theseSHGs in marketing of their produce.145

CHAPTER-XIWILDLIFE MANAGEMENT [OVER LAPPING] WORKING CIRCLE11.1 General Constitution.The management and protection of forests are integrated with the management andprotection of wildlife. So this working circle has been formed for protection and conservation ofthe wildlife found in the forests as well as non-forest areas of the division. This covers the wholeareas of this forest division.11.2 Objective of Working Circle:-This will be an overlapping working circle constituted mainly to ensure that silviculturalprescriptions 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 areas4. To aware common public about the ecological significance of wildlife for healthof 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 underforest 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. Thoughthere is not big game found in the tract yet there is a large variety of small animals and birdsfound all over the district.Whatever little wild life exists, it survives only in the block forests. The details ofanimals is given below. The common wild animals are Black bucks, Boselaphus tragocamelus(Nilgai), Sus scrofa (wild boar), Axis porcinus (Hog deer), Canis aureus (Jackal), Herpestesedwerimi (Common Mangoose), Lepus Nigricollis (Common hare), Felis chaus(Jungle cat),Maniscrassi eaudets (Pangolin), etc. Black bucks and Nilgai are found in the cultivated areas in146

Abohar & Fazilka because of protection given by Beshnoi community which is a predominantcommunity in Abohar Area.There are reptiles like Monitor lizard, Garden lizard, Cobras (Naja naja) and otherreptiles 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 Indiankite, 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 andbirds, which are found in Ferozepur, is appended with this plan.11.4 Protected Areas In The Ferozepur Forest Division11.4.1 ABOHAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARYThe Abohar Wildlife Sanctuary has been declared a Wildlife Sanctuary under theWildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 vide Govt of Punjab notification No. 40/4/98-Ft-IV/15505 dated7-9-200 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 peopleliving within the sanctuary are mostly the Bishnoi community will continue to have all theircustomary rights except for hunting.This sanctuary is just 8 Kms. from Abohar, a major town of Ferozepur Districtand covers mostly the private fields of about 13 villages of the area. Besides Black buck, otherspecies 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 WildlifeSanctuary by the Punjab Govt. Notification No. 3417/99-Ft-IV/16393 dated 18th November,1999.147

This sanctuary at a distance of just 45 Kms. from Ferozepur, 18 Kms. from Mogaand 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 harboursspecies 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 stripforests, there is hardly any wood area within the sanctuary. Realizing this a project for greeningthe sanctuary area has been taken up the Forest Department in collaboration with Department ofScience & Technology Punjab in which species like Mango, Jamun, Kikar, Arjun etc. are beingplanted every year from 1997 onwards. This besides giving aesthetic value to the sanctuary willalso provide food, shelter & nesting havens for the birds.11.4.3 WILDLIFE MANAGEMENTDuring the recent past there have been some problems regarding working of thoseforests of the Division which after the notification of the sanctuaries happen to fall within thelimits of sanctuaries. In the absence of any specific provisions for these areas, some operationalproblems arose between the wildlife and forest field staff. 'Therefore, it is being provided that wherever any area within the sanctuary is to beworked it should be done as per the Wildlife Management Plan and no removal whatsoever shallbe done without the approval of Chief wildlife warden11.5 Area of biodiversity value lying outside PA networkThere are several important habitat, areas and ecosystem of conservation importancethroughout the state of Punjab, which lie outside PA network. These areas should be subjected tospecial 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 areascovered with naturally growing Mullberry with the remaining area is under plantations ofShisham, Neem, Burma Drek Mulberry and Eucalyptus. The area has abundant grass growthincluding Kahi (Sacchram spontaneous). The area is spursely dotted with Kikar (Acacianilotica).The area is home to several reptiles species including python, rat snake and cobras.148

Wild animals like Hog deer, Jackel, Monkey, Bat, Jungle Cat, Nilgai and wild boar can be seenin this block forest.11.6 Legal Position.The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 amended in 2002, is in force for protection andconservation of Wildlife in Punjab. Under the above act, the forest officers have been dulyempowered for implementation of the policies of protection & conservation of Wildlife as theWildlife Wardens. The junior officers are vested with the powers of detection of illegal wildlifecrime. They are required to report to the Chief Wildlife Warden for taking necessary actions anddrawing 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 animalwhich become dangerous for the human life property or when they became menace to humanhabitation to avoid man animal conflict. Government of Punjab has also empowered the SDM’sof civil jurisdiction to issue permits to kill animals like nilgai and wild bore with certainrestrictions.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 inthe 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 forshelter of the animals if such tree cover do not exist. Beside, scattered vegetationcovers may be crated by raising plantations throughout the forest areas for facility ofthe extension of the habitat of the wildlife.149

2. Raising of grass plantations for Herbivores: - Palatable grass plantations forherbivores may be raised in a scattered manner for keeping such animals inside forestand 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 beraised in scattered manner throughout the forests if such trees are found deficit.Naturally growing Ber(Zizyphus Sp) trees must be given special attention and shouldbe protected.4. Water Holes: - Water is a problem in summer i.e, March onwards so it is necessary todig up some ponds or tanks at some important points for the facility of making thedrinking water available to the animals in summer months.5. Salt Licks: - The herbivores suffer from salt deficiency. So it will be better to havesome salt Licks at some convenient places for herbivores. The regulated intake of saltwill improve the health of the herbivore and other animals.11.12 Injuries to which Wildlife is liable.(i) FireFire destroys the vegetation and the roosting sites of the wild animals. In themonths of March & April fire may sweep through the forests, as the forest floor isvery dry. Besides, grass collectors set fire after collection of grass to get vigorousshoots next year & the fire spread from there. Besides that there is a tendency oflandlords adjacent to the forest who use to burn the agricultural wastes in the fielditself which pose danger to the forest and wildlife.(ii) GrazingGrazing is rampant all over the district and reduces the forage available for wildlife besides physically trampling their niches.(iii) PoachingPoaching is not common in Ferozepur District. The wild life as well as the forestdepartments do book the poachers as and when some incident is brought intonotice. But they have severe limitations of staff to check poaching in each village.150

Legal actions are to be taken for lighting fire in the forests, which willhelp in protection of wildlife.151

CHAPTER XIIFOREST PROTECTION (OVERLAPPING) WORKING CRICLE12.1 General ConstitutionThe general principle followed in constitution of this working circle has been explainedin earlier chapters. This working circle has been formed for protection of forests wealth by wayof regular patrolling in the forest as well as non-forest areas of the division. Forest resourcesparticularly timbers and fuel wood is very valuable. Forests meet up the basic needs of thepeople. Forest produces are largely used as industrial raw materials. Forests i.e. green vegetativecovers maintain environmental living conditions for human being and all other animals. So itsprotection is necessary and is to be ensured.The pressure on the forests is also very high as there is increase in population andbecause of the easy money it brings through illegal activity. The working circle extends over thewhole of the Ferozepur Forest Division as the whole of the forests is under severe bioticespecially human pressure. The protection can also be from other stresses like fire, soil erosion,weeds and firewood collectors.12.2 Special Objects of Management1. 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 itsprotection. So there are legal provisions for protection of forests in Indian Forests Act 1927and its Punjab amendments and Punjab Forest Rules.All the forest personnel engaged in the management of forests have been dulyempowered for protection of forests. The Divisional Forest Officer is in overall charge for152

protection of forests in the division and the Range Officers, Block Officers and Forest guardsin 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 RangeOfficer is entrusted with the responsibilities of enforcing protection measures in the Range areaby way of patrolling and detecting forest offences. He is required to draw offence reports andsend them to the DFO to get it sanctioned either for compounding of offence or for prosecutionwhich has to be decided by the DFO.The Block Officer is entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing protection measures inthe Block area by way of patrolling and detecting the forest offences. Block forest officer is alsoempowered for accepting the compounding fee from the offenders as well as sending the casesfor prosecution. Foresters are directly assisted by the Forest Guards posted under him. The ForestGuards posted in the beats are entrusted with the power of detecting forest offences and they arerequired 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, whichcan be given the responsibility of protection in lieu of the usufructs that they receive from thoseareas.12.5 Execution of Search Warrants.The forest officers up to the rank of Range officer are empowered with the power ofexecuting Search Warrants in any premises for finding out the hidden illegally collected forestproduces.12.6 Powers of Arresting the Offenders.The forest officers up to the rank of foresters may arrest the forest offenders in case ofnecessity. The offender/ offenders is/are to the released or handed over to the nearest policestation within 24 hours from the time of arrest for other legal actions which are required to betaken as per rule.12.7 Collection of InformationIn-charge, Range Officer and Block Officers should maintain a system of collection ofinformation on illicit felling in the forests, extraction of illegal produces from the forests, illegal153

transport to the markets and other places, utilization of huge timbers in Governmentconstruction. 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 dospecial checking operation during night-time. Ferozepur division has considerable potentialforests but the dishonest traders and miscreants are conducting the illegal extraction from suchareas at night specially near Pakistan border around Hussianiwala and along the strips fallingaround Ferozepur Forest Division . So special patrolling at night are required to be taken onthese 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 andcarry valuable timbers. The timbers for the market are also smuggled out for more profit. Thesesorts of prolonged unlawful activities create a condition of deficiency in supply and availabilityof timbers and other forest produces in the market, which hikes the price in market. As a resultthe common people cannot purchase the timbers for their essential needs. Such a situation in thestate cannot be allowed to continue in the interest of the people. Organized illicit felling in theforests is to be resisted by special patrolling measures. The Police Station Posts are to bereminded from time to time for effective control of smuggling out of timbers and other forestproduces from the state. Any forest produce that is detected by any military, police or otherparamilitary forces have to be handed over to the nearest forest official.12.10 Posting of Young Healthy Personnel in Patrolling PartiesYoung, energetic and physically fit forest personnel should be posted in the patrollingparties for performance of tough duties. Aged, unhealthy and ill personnel should not be giventhe protection duty. More over there should be more recruitments and patrolling staff shouldhave regular transfers also.154

12.11 Other Protection measures.Other Protection measures like protection from fire has to be taken care of by makingadequate number of fire lines and their good maintenance from time to time. Soil conservationmeasures have also to be adopted. Silvicultural systems like selection system can aid to improvesoil conservation measures as it least disturbs the forest soils.155

Chapter XIII13.1 GeneralFinancial ForecastSale of trees is the main source of revenue to the Department. The yield of variousspecies has been prescribed keeping in view the G.O.I guidelines. Some revenue will alsoavailable from sale of minor forest produce i.e grass, fruits and other produce. The trees aftermarking are handed over to the Punjab state Forest development Corporation for fallings andconversion the royalty is fixed by the state Govt. of the revenue figures have been calculated onthe 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 markingrules under different working circle. Therefore the revenue & expenditure figures for the planperiod are estimates only.13.2 Revenue and ExpenditureThe following is the financial forecast in respect of revenue and expenditure during planperiod.The calculation are based on current rates.I. Revenue.Table XIII-1Sr.No.ItemAmount(in Rs.)1. Sale of 25650.0 cmt. of Kikar trees obtained from main felling @ Rs.540 Rs. 13851000.00per cmt.2.

Rs. 125262500.00Total :Rs.142799000.00156

Chapter XIVMiscellaneous Regulations14.1 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 blockforest is meagre yet the paths and fire lines of these forests should be kept clean. The staff shallremain vigilant during the summer months. There is a great danger of fire to the forests alongroad,rail,canals,when the farmers burn their crop residue after harvesting the crop in the adjoingfields. So the concerned staff should remain present when the farmers burn crop residue. Firefighting equipments can be kept at Division Head quarter.14.2 Petty SaleAs the sale of trees by auction to the contractors has completely been stopped, so the deaddry & wind fallen trees should either be departmentally cut or be handed over to the Forestcorporation as earty as possible to avoid any theft and pilferage. The marking of dead,drydeseased trees should be done three times in a year under the supervision of the concernedDy.D.F.O s A complete record of these trees should be maintained in the division. The auction offruits and grasses can also be done from time to time.14.3 Clearance of tall grassesDivisional Forest Officer Should prepare a phased programme to eliminate Kana,Kahi andother tall grasses. This will not only promote the growth of plants but also minimize the firehazard.14.4 Checking of BoundariesThe boundary pillars on road, canals drains are mostly missing. The boundaries are notwell defined. These need to be checked. In block forests separate boundary registers need to bemaintained, giving the complete details of the boundary pillars i.e. distance between two pillarsand reading by compass(Back bearing & fore bearing etc.) D.F.O's should pay special attentionduring their routine inspection that the checking of boundaries of forest is done at least once inthree years, Range officer should maintain a boundary checking register and put the same to theD.F.O at the time of annual inspection. Demarcation unclassed areas be done at the earliest.157

14.5 Beat BooksThe 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 last10 years.14.6 Wild LifeThere is variety of wild life including many species of birds in the tract. Water holes ansalt licks be provided at suitable places for the wild animals. As already stated supra fruit treesand Ficus species like Bohar, Pipal, Pilkan, Beri must be retained and planted up along withother economic tree species to provide shelter and food for wild life and avi-fauna. A closelaision must be maintained with the staff of wild life being to protect the wild life from illicitdamage by poachers.14.7 NurseriesThere is a large number of nurseries in this division, centrally located to meet the demand ofplants for planting in Govt. areas & private lands. Efforts should be made to raise new speciesaccording to the demand of public. Special efforts be made to raise ornamental plants & Shishamplants. Seeds for such plants should be collected from genetically superior, healthy andvigorously growing trees for raising good quality planting stock. For this purpose plus trees ofvarious species should be marked and its record should be maintained. Latest techniques likemist chamber and green houses should be adopted. Covering of young plants especially of Neemshould be done in the winter. List of Nurseries is mentioned below:-Table XIV-1Sr.No.Name of Range Name of Nursery Area in ha.1 Ferozepur Talwandi 1.002 Ferozepur Chak Sarkar 1.503 Ferozepur Saragari 0.504 Ferozepur Mallwal 0.105 Ferozepur Valoor 0.15158

14.8 Seed collection.Seed collected from the genetically superior, healthy and vrgorously growing trees shouldbe used in the nurseries for raising plants. For his purpose plus trees of various species should bemarked for collecting seeds. A list of these trees should be Kept in the division. The seeds fromthese trees should be collected under the supervision of gazetted officer.14.9 EcotourismThere is a vast potential of Ecotourism in Ferozepur Forest Division. Ecotourism can bepromoted in areas like Harike wildlife Sanctuary, Abohar wild life sanctuary, Chak sarkarreserve 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 inthe above said areas.The main objective of ecotourism is to ensure ecologically responsible tourism, which inlinked to the livelihood support and empowerment of local communities. The objectives can belisted as follows :6 Zira Makhu 0.507 Zira Zira 0.508 Zira Ratool 0.509 Zira Jalla Roda 0.2510 Jalalabad Kahan Singh Wala 0.5011 Jalalabad Ratta Theh 0.5012 Jalalabad Amirkhas 0.6013 Abohar Abohar 0.4014 Abohar Chanan Khera 0.5015 Fazilka Fazilka 0.2516 Fazilka Chananwala 0.351. To promote conservation awareness amongst the visitors and local people throughconservation education and interpretation.2. To generate additional livelihood opportunities and help them to rationalize theexisting landuse.Total 8.103. To find harmonious relationship between the place, the visitor and the host community.159

14.10 Rules and regulations for EcotuurismThe broad rules & regulation for ecotourism will be following and these will have to befurther strengthened.1. Public use limited to special groups accompanied by guides.2. Visitor groups are limited to a maximum of ten people.3. Area to be declared as plastic free zone.160

CHAPTER - XVESTABLISHMENT AND LABOUR15.1 ESTABLISHMENT:The existing strength of the Ferozepur Forest Division has already been given in theearlier chapter. There is generally shortage of protection staff particularly Forest Guards. In orderto control the Division in a better way atleast three more Rangers are required.15.2 LABOUR:There is no problem regarding labour except in the days of harvesting. Some times locallabour is also supplemented by labour from Rajasthan, Haryana, U.P. and Bihar.15.3 BUILDINGS:As far as buildings are concerted, these are in adequate number for the normalworking of the Division.1f however, any big project such as the one presently going on in theState i.e. the JBIC, - Japan aided Forestry Development project comes then the buildings may beconstructed as per the requirement of the project and at the appropriate places.

Chapter XVIControl and Records16.1 RecordsAll the forest journals of block and strip forests are to be maintained with record of all operationscarried out in the forests every year. Only one copy of compartment description has beenprepared. This may be filed in the forest journals in the ranges. A detailed record of each forestryactivity shall be maintained in order to have a solid data base for scientific monitoring,evaluation and future planning. In order to avoid any complicacy at any level, the controllingofficers should inspect the following dom3ents while touring.i) Annual plan of operationsii) Plantation journalsiii) Forest journalsiv) Nursery register.v) Divisional notebook.vi) Control forms.vii) Fire control form.viii) Deviation statementi) Annual Plan of Operations : Annual plan of operation should be prepared by theDivisional Forest Officer in advance and works should be executed according to the approvedplan.ii) Planting Journals : For each plantation, a separate journal shall be maintained inprescribed set of proformas wherein a complete record of the plantation will be maintained. Itwill contain the details of works carried out and expenditure incurred location wise andcompartment wise and month wise. It will also include the maintenance cost for subsequent threeyears. At the end of each year, observation regarding success of plantation will be recorded in thejournals. Instructions of the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Punjab regarding checking ofplantation should also be followed.iii) Forest Journals : Forest journals should be prepared and maintained in theprescribed proformas for each forest separately. All forestry activities such as regeneration163

felling and enumeration, maintenance cost, weed cutting construction of fire lines etc. should berecorded for a year. For each year there will be one entry, which should be signed by the RangeOfficer. The inspection notes by the officers should be filed in the journals.

None of such participants however willhave any voting rights in the meetings.2.5 Approval by the Divisional Forest Officer :2.5.1 upon receipt of the proposal from the Range Forest Officer regarding the constitution of the FPCand MC, the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), after considering the same, should accordrecognition to it. Only such recognized institutions are entitled to operate under these rules.2.5.2 The benefits of this notification shall also accrue top Forest Committees, which are alreadyconstituted, and functioning provided they agree to abide by the terms and conditions of thisnotification.3. Involvement of Voluntary Agencies (VAs) :Reputed voluntary agencies such as NGOs, institutions, religious bodies etc, may be involved inafforestation and ancillary works in areas, which are neither taken up nor intended to be taken up by anyFPC/VFC. The areas covered under the Punjab Apportionment of trees Rules, 2000 and in respect ofwhich the concerned farmer has already signed an agreement under these rules, will also not beavailable to the voluntary agencies.3.1 There must be a written agreement between the NGO and the local Forest Deptt. for involvementof NGO in Forestry works in a particulars area. Whenever, an industrial House or an outsideagency is supporting the NGO, there must be a tripartite agreement between NGO, local forestdepartment and the industrial House or outside agency.3.2 The agreement must have the commitment of the industrial house to bear the cost of the schemeof the NGO to faithfully implement the scheme under the supervision and direction of the ForestDepartment.3.3 The industrial house and the NGO will not claim any right whatsoever over the forest land or theproduce anytime thereafter.3.4 The rights of local people, if any over the forest land will not be affected by this agreement.3.5 The agreement will be for a period of say 5 to 7 years during which the area is likely to be tackledincluding maintenance.3.6 These scheme should be prepared in such a way so that naturally occurring species should begiven priority in the rehabilitation and plantation programme.3.7 Only such forest lands that are - than 0.4 density and that cannot be regenerated with naturalregeneration should be taken up under this scheme.226

3.8 Any usufruct sharing with NGO’s will be subject to the approval of the Govt. of India.4. Involvement of Farmers :Involvement of farmers shall be governed by the rules and procedures as laid down under thePunjab Apportionment of Trees Rules, 2000 the areas along roads and adjoining farmers fields in respectof which an agreement has already been signed between the farmer and the Forest Department. Theseareas may however, be taken up by the JFMC/VFC/FPC/VA for afforestation and ancillary works subjectto a tripartite, agreement between the farmers, the Forest Department and the FPC/VA as per mutuallyagreed terms and conditions.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 theterritorial DFO in consultation with the FPCs. These forest areas need not be coterminous withthe revenue village i.e. forest areas in a particular revenue village may be managed under JFMby an FPC of another neighboring village also. A Joint Forest Management Plan (JFMP) will beprepared for the area using tools like Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). During this process theFPC will be actively involved through the meeting of its General Body Prior to starting suchexercises the Range Officer should collect available information (and also prepare maps) onthe forest types, the species occurring in the forest, legal status of forest, in the area and extent offorest 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 socioeconomicdata of the villages in the vicinity of the forest. A copy of the JFMP proposal should be sent by theRange Officer to the DFO so that, if necessary, he may tender his advise. FPCs should also takeup 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 improvedprotection 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 asfacilitator to evolve a workable institutional arrangements between the Panchayat and theForest Protection Committee as per these guidelines. No such arrangement is, however,possible for the Panchayat Forest areas without wholehearted and constructive support from theRural 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 benefitsbetween the Panchayat and the FPC can be on the same lines as the sharing of benefitsbetween the FPC and the Government in case of the Protected/Reserved/unclassed Forest underthese guidelines. If, after gaining initial experience in a village, the villagers wish to extendsimilar arrangements to forest areas which are common private holdings of a number of familiesof the village, they could decide to do so provided all the landholders and other local stakeholderscome to a mutual agreement in this regard. The local forest officials can help in facilitatingsuch 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 planshould also specifically address the issue of involving the women and taking care of their forestbased and other developmental needs.5.3 The Forest Department may also try to organize or support the existing self- help groups ofvillagers in the area, especially those of women and impart training to them for suitable incomegenerating/ value addition activities and also facilitate process of obtaining loans/ grants by suchgroups through banks, NGOs etc.5.4 In order to promote women’s participation, the Forest Department may also consider engagingwomen facilitators and NGOs to facilitate adequate gender balance in community mobilization.227

5.5 The overall implementation of the Joint Forest Management Plan and its supervision will be theresponsibility 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 ForestManagement Plan.5.7 It shall also be the responsibility of the FPC/ Management Committee/VA/ Farmers to chalk outand implement an action plan assigning duties and responsibilities to ensure protection of theforest under its charge from theft, biotic interference, fire and other injurious influences and alsoto implement other measures involving paid labour and even unpaid inputs. In case of wageemployment the members of the FPC shall have the first preference. The DFO shall have thediscretion of getting works, which are otherwise conventionally executed under the directsupervision of the Forest Deptt. staff at the approved schedule rate, executed through MC/FPCby 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 labouror otherwise, the expenses saved would be credited to the FPC account. The MC will maintainand present for inspection appropriate record in all such cases. Such pooled money could also, inthe long run, attract matching grants/loans for the village from Government, Banks, NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs), or other funding agencies. The FPC will decide the use ofthe money pooled in the MC account. Such money can be very useful for maintaining the worksdone under various Government Schemes/ projects implemented in the area, especially after theGovernment Agency withdraws from the area. Minimum 50% amount shall be spent on forestrydevelopment projects. The Forest Department may help identify possibilities of grants/ loans forthe FPC in order to help in sustainability and strengthening of these institutions. Whereverfeasible, 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 bethose with - than 40% crown density. The first priority in respect of forest areas along roadsshall 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 ForestManagement 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 upwith appropriate national and international funding agencies. The voluntary Agencies / NGOs willarrange their own resources such as from Industrial Houses, Grants-in aids etc.8. Benefit sharing8.1 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 withinthe competence of the FPC acting through its Management Committee, to assign the shares ofthe usufruct and other NWFP and other benefits among its members. It shall be in order to grantfewer shares or no share to any member if he has not discharged the duties and responsibilitiesassigned to him. Similarly the FPC could decide to give more benefits to a family or persons ifthey have spent more time and efforts for the protection of the forest. For the purpose of suchbenefits 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 perthe mutually agreed terms and conditions.228

8.2 All conflicts and issues in respect of usufruct or other benefit sharing between individual membersof the FPC or between members and non-members of the FPC shall be resolved by theManagement Committee in the participatory manner. The Forest Department may aid andfacilitate them in this process.8.3 In case of compounding of an offence as per existing legal provisions, the Divisional ForestOfficer can decided to pass the “price” charged for a forest produce to the MC if he is satisfiedthat the FPC is performing its obligations well and members of the FPC have made significantcontribution 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 ofgrass free of cost as the poorest households mostly use these materials. The FPC after meetingthe requirements of its members either free or at a cost fixed by it, can sell the same. Theremoval of NWFP would be done under the supervision of the Department. The revenue from thesale of NWFP will be deposited in the account of FPC and used for forest conservation orcommon 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 watereither by constructing a dam or installing/renovating a kool system, the initial financialinvestments shall be made by the Forest Department or the other agency. FPC members shouldhowever 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 FPCswill be given the lease of such produce free of cost. The FPC shall invest at least 50% of itsincome of such produce back into the joint management area for conservation, protection andregeneration of the forest area. Balance 50% will be used for other developmental and welfareactivities for the common benefit of its members. However, the local requirement of users of suchproduce from amongst the members of the FPC will be first satisfied by the FPC before offeringany produce for sale to any other agency or for any other purpose. This sale to any other agencywill be made only after collection of the produce from forest area. In lieu of the lease, the FPCand 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 PunjabForest Department from auctions/ transfer of lots to Punjab State Forest DevelopmentCorporation Ltd. shall be retained by the forest department and given to the FPC as its share inlieu of protection/ assistance in management of assigned forest area. The FPC will invest at least50% of its share of the income back into the Joint Management area for increasing itsproductivity. The remaining 50% of share received by the FPC could be used in an appropriatemanner for other welfare activity of the FPC members or direct distribution of appropriate shareamong its members.9 Other issues :9.1 The Forest Department will identify suitable entry point/development activities to establish a closeand constructive rapport with the village communities. The entry point activities/developmentalactivities will include suitable location specific non-forestry developmental or welfare activities forthe 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 orthe MC fails to perform, the duties and responsibilities envisaged under this resolution, the DFOincharge of the area will be competent to de-recognize the FPC and in such case the FPC or theMC will loose all their rights and shares in respect of forest areas assigned to them. However theMC can appeal to the Conservator of Forests against the orders of DFO and Conservator of229

Forests may after due consideration pass appropriate orders on such appeal. The orders/decisionof 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 radicalchange in mindset at all levels of hierarchy within the Government setup. This also calls for achange in the way business of the State has been conducted in the traditional mode. It was alsorequire considerable devotion, efforts and time on the part of Forests personnel and as theprocess of JFM cannot be rushed through, all efforts will be made to provide necessary supportand staff to the State Forest Department so that Forest personnel can spend adequate time inmotivating, 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 forestconservancy and community welfare especially the welfare of the disadvantage and forestdependent 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 theForest Department Staff, there will be need to organize frequent trainings, workshops, field visitsto other states etc. The Govt. may provide adequate support for this by providing provision for suchtrainings and strengthening the training infrastructure within the Forest Department as well asthrough tie-ups with other suitable agencies. Simultaneously, awareness training for villagers isalso equally important so as to educate them about the need for forest conservancy andattitudinal change to regard Government property as their own.9.6 Wherever FPCs are assigned certain forest areas for protection/management, the current state offorest will be recorded in a participatory manner as a benchmark for future comparison ofchanges taking place in the area.9.7 Special care will also be taken to regularly document and record the process of change underJFM: in terms of health of forest, the attitudinal changes of the staff and the community, theproblems faced and how they were or are being resolved, the enhancement in skills, confidenceand capacities of the people and staff, the lesson learnt through the process and so on. Theresearch and extension wings of the forest department would be strengthened to support the JFMprocess 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 andsupport the forest department staff in protection and management of other categories of forestareas closed under Land Preservation Act, 1900 (LPA). As the process of JFM takes off, theGovernment may also regularly review, rationalize and reform the regulation under PunjabLand 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 whichdo 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 byGovernment. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct earlier reviews if thecirm3stances so warrant.10. Orders :The orders issued from time to time by the Government of India through directions/instructions orother forms of correspondence regarding matters related to Joint Forest Management shall bedeemed to be a part of this notification.Dated 17-11-2003Sd/-(P.
