These counts are taken from the application forms of the 7 of 7 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 7 of those forms at least one question was left blank, and a blank answer is counted as unknown. The forest area is the area stated for forest clearance, with each forest proposal counted once, in the district where its project is primarily sited.

Displacement figures are the proponents’ own declarations. A project sited across several districts declares one figure for the whole project, and that figure is counted once, in the district where the project is primarily sited.

Fifth Schedule status

Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

No Presidential Order under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule declares any Scheduled Area in Jammu & Kashmir, so no part of this district is one and PESA does not apply. A different protection does apply here: State land and forest-rights law; no Presidential Order under the Fifth Schedule extends here.

OrderMinistry of Tribal Affairs, Scheduled Areas declared under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution

What the record shows

  • Literacy was 54.3% in 2011 against 72.98% nationally, so notices and documents issued in writing during a consultation may reach fewer people here.

  • Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 2,954 families to be displaced. The figure comes from their applications, and we have not verified it.

Each of these observations appears when a fixed rule is met by the figures on this page, so the same figures always give the same sentences. None of them is a view on whether a project should go ahead.
