Let us try to find out how we can get started. If initially, a big project
is envisaged it will be lost in committees. Can we impress on some dynamic
local MP to start work on a new hospital from the constituency fund as a SLR
project and then extend that idea.
Shall I send a draft letter to Mr. Barua to send it to PM as a MP from Assam
I am awaiting some response on the factor to be used for SLR buildings

Dear Sudhir and Prof. ARC,

I think we can make a start by calling upon the State governments in the
NE Region to make risk assessments for the post event command /control
centres, hospitals, nursing homes, fire stations, schools, electric
sub-stations and water reservoirs. If a structure is found deficient, then
it is to be retrofitted. This is what we had proposed in the meetings of the
committee set up by the GMDA to identify potentially hazardous buildings in
Guwahati. The project, as I have already told you, was aborted by the powers
that be, for reasons I have never been able to fathom.

By the way, there are now three bridges over the Brahmaputra, with one
more coming up. Out of these, all except one, being rail-cum-road bridges
have steel superstructures. The one near Tezpur is a PSC road bridge, the
longitudinal axis being over a vertical fault discovered during the
construction of the bridge. The design seismic force was taken as g/6 as per
recommendations of (then) Roorkee University. One of the piers had tilted
towards the Tezpur side, the rotation being about 0.1 deg. at the base
resulting in a horizontal translation of about 125 mm at the top of the
pier, and some visible damage to the articulation between the cantilver and
the suspended spans, and the adjacent railings.

The number of dams in the region has gone up. There are now six dams, with
the one over river Ranganadi in Arunachal Pradesh being of the rock-fill
type. The others are concrete dams.

Regards,

Yours sincerely,
Indrajit Barua.
