PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

The Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF & CC) introduced the Environment
Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006 on 14th September, 2006, which not only reengineered the
entire environment clearance (EC) process specified under the EIA notification 1994, but also introduced a
number of new developmental sectors which would require prior environmental clearance. The EIA
notification 2006 has notified a list of 39 developmental sectors which have been further categorised as A
or B based on their capacity and likely environmental impacts. Category B projects have been further
categorised as B1 and B2. In this regard, area development projects are covered in Category-8 (b) B (B1)
and require clearance at the level of SEIAA.

Area Development Project, Chandigarh University, Village Gharuan and Mamupur, Tehsil Kharar, Distt.. SAS Nagar Project
By: Chandigarh Educational Trust

M/s Chandigarh Educational Trust is developing the educational institute namely Chandigarh University
located at Village Gharaun and Mamupur, Tehsil Kharar, Distt. SAS Nagar. As per the EIA notification,
14.09.2006, this project falls under Category B and Project or Activity 8(b) [Township and Area
Development Projects; built up area 1,50,000 sq.m]. The plot area of project is 56.206 acres and having
built up area of 228557.84 sq.m.
Thereafter, EIA study was started based on standard TORs as per MoEF&CC notification S.O. 996(E)
dated 10.04.2015. Case was considered in 143rd SEAC, Punjab meeting held on 30.03.2016 for TOR
and it was decided that EIA report can be prepared after successful submission of application. Thus,
impact study was started from 9th October 2015 to 26th December, 2015.
Environment in EIA context mainly focuses, but is not limited to physical, chemical, biological,
geological, social, economical, and aesthetic dimensions along with their complex interactions, which affect
individuals, communities and ultimately determines their forms, character, relationship and survival. In EIA
context, effect and impact can often be used interchangeably. However, impact is considered as a value
judgment of the significance of an effect. This report tries to evaluate the impacts of Chandigarh University,
Village Gharaun and Mamupur, Tehsil Kharar, Distt. SAS Nagar.

The proposed Sewage Treatment System: MBBR (Moving Bed Bioreactor Technology)
Sewerage System
An external sewage network shall collect the sewage from all units, and flow by gravity to the Sewage
Treatment Plant.
Following are the benefits of providing the Sewage Treatment Plant in the present circumstances:
Reduced net daily water requirements, source for Horticultural purposes by utilization of the treated
wastewater.
Reduced dependence on the public utilities for water supply and sewerage systems.
Sludge generated from the Sewage Treatment Plant shall be rich in organic content and an excellent
fertilizer for horticultural purposes.
a. Treatment Technology
The sewage will be first passed through a Bar Screen Chamber where any extraneous matter would get
trapped. The influent would overflow by gravity to the Oil & Grease Chamber which is provided for safety
so that the oil may not inhibit the biological growth in the MBBR reactors.
The sewage would then collected in an Equalization Tank where the variations in flow and characteristics
are dampened, which otherwise can lead to operational problems and moreover it allows a constant flow
rate downstream. Here the sewage is kept in mixed condition by means of coarse air bubble diffusion.
The Bio Reactor is based on the Fluidized Random Aerobic Reactor which combines the advantage of an
Activated Sludge Plant with the Random distribution systems such as Biofilter with capacities that could be
as low as 1/10th of ASP and fractional power consumption, such a reactor is ideal for the efficient removal
of BOD and organics from the wastewater.
The tanks are packed with RIGID PP-UV-sterilized Gas Fluted Media with liquid random distribution
wherein air diffusers are placed to uniformly release air across the tanks.
Working Principle:
Bacteria grow rapidly in the Bio-Pac unit under properly engineered conditions. They consume organic
chemical for their growth and remove them from the wastewater. The bacteria converts chemical into
22

Area Development Project, Chandigarh University, Village Gharuan and Mamupur, Tehsil Kharar, Distt.. SAS Nagar Project
By: Chandigarh Educational Trust

biological cells, which under proper growth conditions, form slims. The bacteria adhere to available
surfaces and accumulate into what we call random biological film or fixed film. The high surface area-tovolume ratio of the units allows for accumulation of substantial concentration of bacteria in the relatively
small reactor units. Further, the accumulated bacteria which provides high rates of removal or organic
chemicals are fixed in the system and do not need to be recycled back to the basin.
In the Bio Reactor system the water is constantly flowing through rigid PVC matrix to which the biological
film attached. As the water flows past the biological film, bacteria in the film absorb organic chemicals as
well as oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other trace nutrients required for their growth.
As the bacteria grow on the matrix and as more chemicals are added to the unit, the stationary biological
film will continue to build in thickness. As the film becomes thicker the depth of penetration by diffusion
of the absorbed material such as oxygen or other nutrients is not sufficient to reach the entire distance
through the slime of the plastic media. At some point, the film will become sufficiently thick and portion of
the film closest to the plastic media will not receive any food or nutrient, particularly oxygen. The inner
layer of the film becomes anaerobic and the organisms lose their ability to adhere to the media surface. The
shear forces of the water and / or air bubbles flowing through the matrix will ultimately become great
enough to tear this portion of the biological film loose from the media. This process is called sloughing.
The solids which slough from the media will flow out of the system with the sewages and are to be
removed from the water through clarification in a settling module. The exposed portion of media surface
will repeat the process of slime accumulation and sloughing.
In actual operation of the Bio Reactor units, biological film will be in a state of dynamic, continuous
growth and sloughing. At any given time, portion of the media are always at some point between forming a
new film sloughing.
Sewage Quality:
The Sewage discharged from the Bio reactor system will contain sloughed biological solids, but would be
relatively free of soluble organic chemicals. The quantity of biological solids in the sewage will depend
substantially on the quantity of suspended solids and the concentration of soluble BOD entering system. It
is therefore necessary to provide means of separating the biological mass from the sewage. Package unit
contains tube settlers for sedimentation and 60 Gross fluted Rigid PVC fill media for the FAB units to treat
the wastewater for discharge into the receiving waters and/or the sanitary sewers as per the local
regulations. The media thickness changes with the design parameters/depth of the unit and can vary from
0.25 to 0.40 mm thickness.
1. Tube Settler: Here we are providing the Tube Settler along with the PVC media which will enhance the
contact period and thereby the improved performance. The Tube settler will have a determined lope in the
bottom to collect the suspended solids from the waste water. The sludge will be suited to the Sludge Drying
Beds.
2. Pressure Sand Filter: Here the treated water coming from the TSS will be treated for the suspended
impurity removal.
3. Activated Carbon Filter: Here the water coming from the ACF will be treated for colour removal,
suspended impurity removal and the treated water shall be sent to the sewer.

4. Filter Press: A filter comprises a set of vertical, juxtaposed recessed plates, presses against each other
by hydraulic jacks at one end of the set. The pressure applied to the joint face of each filtering plate must
withstand the chamber internal pressure developed by the sludge pumping system. This vertical plate
layout forms watertight filtration chambers allowing easy mechanization for the discharge of cakes. Filter
clothes finely or tightly meshed are applied to the two grooved surfaces in this plat.
Primary Treatment: This is the first step of inlet waste mainly consist of removal of coarse particles, oil
and grace and mixing co-agents in the water for removal of suspended solids through sedimentations. After
this treatment scheme, the BOD, TSS, COD, and O&G level comes down to 20% of initial levels.
Secondary Treatment:
This is second step of waste water treatment. It mainly consist aerobic process of the Primary treated water,
bacterial growth, EM dosing addition of oxygen and chemical which help in bacterial growth and lastly
settlement of the biological waste as sludge. Normally it is found that the reduction level in TSS, BOD, O
& G and COD after an efficient secondary treatment will be as underTertiary Treatment:
This is the final stage of treatment where the Sewage after secondary treatment first is mixed with Sodium
Hypo Chloride and then Sewage will be passed through (PSF) dual media filter and (ACF) activated carbon
filter where sand, anthracite and activated carbon will be used as filtration media. Once the above limits
achieved thereafter the final outlet water will also confirms the Bio Assay test of 90% of fish survive.

CHAPTER 3
DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
3.0 GENERAL
Sustainable development is built on three basic premises i.e., economic growth, ecological balance and
social progress. Economic growth achieved in a way that does not consider the environmental concerns, is
not being sustainable in the long run. Therefore, sustainable development needs careful integration of
environmental, economic, and social needs in order to achieve both an increased standard of living in short
term, and a net gain or equilibrium among human, natural, and economic resources to support future
generations in the long term.
It is necessary to understand the links between environment and development in order to make choices for
development that is being economically efficient, socially equitable and responsible, as well as
environmentally sound.

3.5.1 HYDRO-GEOLOGY (SOURCE: CGWB)
The S.A.S Nagar district is occupied by Quaternary Alluvial deposits belonging to the vast Indo-Gangetic
alluvial plains, which forms the main aquifer system. Groundwater occurs under phreatic conditions in the
shallow aquifers while leaky confined to conditions occur along the deeper aquifers of Quaternary alluvial
deposits. The CGWB has drilled 11 exploratory wells, 2 slim holes and 1 piezometer in the district in the
depth range of 295-590 m bgl to determine the various aquifer systems and its extent. All the exploratory
wells drilled in the Derabassi block were abandoned due to insufficient thickness of aquifer zones and low
yield. Exploratory drilling has revealed 4-13 saturated granular zones comprising of fine to coarse sand, silt
and kankar up to the total drilled depth of 460 m in Kharra and Sialba Majra blocks. The discharge ranges
from 870-2407 lpm for 21.65 and 11.36 m drawdown respectively. The transmissivity and hydraulic
conductivity varies between 55 to 862 m2/day and 7.4-48 m/day respectively. The storativity value ranges
between 7.3*10-42.4*10-3, which clearly indicates a leaky confined condition. In the case of unconfined
aquifer, depth to water level ranges from 4.1 to 13.02 m bgl during pre-monsoon and 4.1 to 12.89 m bgl
during post monsoon. In major part of the district, the water level ranges between 5 and 10 m while the
water level in the northern part is more than 10 m bgl. Seasonal fluctuation shows that, in general, there is

an overall decline in the water level except few isolated patches. The long-term trend of water level also
shows that there is decline in water level on major part of the area ranging from 0.11 to 0.80 m/yr except a
few isolated patches where the rise is at the rate if 0.51 m/yr which is insignificant.

3.6 METEOROLOGY & CLIMATOLOGY
3.6.1 Introduction
The meteorological parameters studied are temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. The
prominent wind direction is North-West. Meteorology plays a vital role in affecting the dispersion of
pollutants into the atmosphere. Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful
interpretation can be drawn only from long-term reliable data. Such source of data can be taken up from the
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which maintains a network of meteorological stations at several
important locations.
3.6.2 Climate
Mohali has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate characterized by a seasonal rhythm: hot summers,
slightly cold winters, unreliable rainfall and great variation in temperature (1 C to 44 C). In winter, frost
sometimes occurs during December and January. The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1061 mm
which is unevenly distributed over the area in 49 days. The south west monsoon contributes about 80% of
annual rainfall. The city also receives occasional winter rains from the west.
(Source: Mohali District at a Glance)
3.6.2.1 Temperature
Summer: The temperature in summer may rise to a maximum of 44C. Temperatures generally remain
between 35C to 42C.
Autumn: In autumn, the temperature may rise to a maximum of 36C. Temperatures usually remain
between 16 to 27 in autumn. The minimum temperature is around 13C.
Winter: Average temperatures in winter (November to February) remain at (max) 7C to 15 C and (min) 2C to 5C.
Spring: Spring temperatures vary between (max) 16C to 25C and (min) 9C to 18C.
3.6.3 Rainfall
The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1061 mm which is unevenly distributed over the area in 49
days. The south west monsoon contributes about 80% of annual rainfall. The city also receives occasional
winter rains from the west.

3.9 SOIL ENVIRONMENT
Mohali area can be broadly grouped into two depending upon its geomorphic features as alluvial fan and
alluvial plains. Alluvial fans are deposited by hill torrents with a wavy plain rather than a steep slope.
Adjacent to the alluvial fan are the alluvial plains which forms a part of large Indo- Gangetic Quaternary
basin comprises of thick sand and silty sand layers interbedded with silt and clay beds. The alluvial plains
are of vital economic value as it supports the dense population of the district. The soils are mainly
developed on alluvium under the dominant influence of climate followed by topography and time. The
major soil type of the district is weakly solonized tropical arid brown soils. Soil samples were collected
from project site and surrounding area. The Geo- technical investigation report is enclosed as Annexure-6.

3.11 DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS
Introduction
Socio-economic study of an area gives an opportunity to assess the socio economic conditions of an area.
The fabrics of socio-economic changes are very complicated that this study would seem to be very limited.
The project being in category 8 (b), the socio-economic data is presented from secondary sources as it
gives reasonably clear picture of the socio-economic conditions prevailing in the study area.
Only the agricultural land has been purchased from the land owners at the prevailing market value varying
from Rs 1.3 crores per acre. Farmers purchased more alternative agricultural land in nearby areas and thus
increasing their assets.
Mohali is a District adjacent to Chandigarh. It is declared as 18th District in Punjab, India in 2006. It is
officially named after the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (SAS Nagar).
Mohali with Chandigarh and Panchkula form a part of the Chandigarh Tricity. It was earlier a part of the
Rupnagar District, and was carved out into a separate district in the year 2006.
Mohali is located to the West of Chandigarh. It is almost a continuation of Chandigarh. To its north is
Rupnagar district. To its south are Fatehgarh Sahib and Patiala. It is 316 m above Mean Sea Level (MSL).
The population as per 2011 census is 9,86,147 of which male and female were 5,24,989 and 4,61,158
respectively. Chandigarh, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Pinjore, Kharar, Kurali, Ropar and Morinda are nearby
locations.The Master Plan of Mohali has been recently extended up to 127 sectors. Now, PUDA's functions
of planning and urban development have been transferred to the Greater Mohali Area Development
Authority (GMADA).
(Source: Census, 2011)
There are many prominent industries and corporate units within which include PTL (Punjab Tractor
Limited), ICI Paints, Quark, Philips, Dell and the Godrej Group, thus Mohalis reputation as a home for
large, multinational corporations is growing.
These multinational corporations generate 25,000 direct and 100,000 indirect jobs. There is large
population that is looking forward to houses as such. The people of the area who have given lands are now
educating their children for jobs in these industries. The area has very good healthcare facility. This
includes Fortis Healthcare Limited, Max Super Speciality Hospital & IVY Hospital who have set up a
Super-Specialty Hospitals in Mohali.
The area is also becoming an entertainment hub and many malls & multiplexes are coming like

3.12 LAND ENVIRONMENT
The project site has a flat topography and was an unutilized area. Land with respect to soil erosion, the
ground survey has been conducted to assess the soil susceptibility related with soil erosion.
The landscaped area @ 8.68 acres of the total plot area is also act as a safe guard for soil erosion. The
probability of soil erosion is not envisaged with respect to soil characteristic, topography and rainfall
during operation phase of the project as all required measures are being adopted. The provided green area
is also act as a safe guard for soil erosion. The proximity of soil erosion is not envisaged with respect to
soil characteristics, topography and rainfall during operation phase of the project as all required measures
are adopted. The land use of the study area was examined and is shown in Fig 2.1(a)
3.13 TRAFFIC
The traffic data count on main connecting road to the site i.e. NH-95 is shown in fig. 3.7. The road is two
lane and sufficient to cater the future traffic load.

3.14 SUMMARY
The environment baseline study was conducted in the project area by both secondary data & primary data
collection. Various environmental factors including air and water environment were studied. It was found
that most of the parameters were within the limits as per the Indian Standards. In general there is no major
threat to the quality of these parameters. Rather change in land use with large green belt as proposed in the
project helps to improve the local environment. The socio economic study conducted in the project area
shows that the project provides higher technical education to large population in the state of Punjab.
Undertaken pollution control measures as suggested significantly check any negative impact on the
environment of the project area.

DG sets are the major source of air pollution as the SO2, NOx and Hydrocarbons are emitted. DG
sets run during power failure as power back-up.
Any project once built is also expected to bring vehicular traffic.
Mitigation Measures
The standby generators are installed with enclosures as per guidelines of Central Pollution Control
Board and after taking consent from State Pollution Control Board under Air (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. No generators are installed on roadsides, in corridors or in such a
manner to act as a public nuisance. The generators installed comply with emission limits as given in
G.S.R. 520 (E), Environment (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2003 at the manufacturing stage
itself. The DG sets shall further be procured from agencies complying the noise emission standards
at the manufacturing stage itself as per G.S.R. 371(E), the Environment (Protection) second
Amendment Rules, 2002. These Rules say that the maximum permissible sound pressure level for
new diesel generator (DG) sets with rated capacity up to 1000 KVA, manufactured on or after the
1st July, 2003 shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 meter from the enclosure surface. The diesel generator sets
should be provided with integral acoustic enclosure at the manufacturing stage itself. Installation of
a DG set is strictly in compliance with the recommendations of the DG set manufacturer. A proper
routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set would be set and followed in
consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help to control noise levels of the DG set
from deterioration with use. The DG Set area is being attenuated using green belt as laid down in
Environment Management Plan. Extensive plantation is planned to mitigate the impact of noise and
to improve the ambient air in general.
Due consideration has been given to traffic management. The layout of the project is so done that
traffic congestion is not there. The details are provided in layout plan.
1.2 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES
4.2.1Impact due to operation phase
The project design population is 28000 individuals (25000 floating + 3000 residential) out of which
the existing population is 14446 (12146 floating + 2300 residential). The water demand for the project
will be 1530 KLD out of which 856 KLD is the existing water demand.
Wastewater @ 80% of water requirement 1224 KLD is being generated.
The storm water during rainy season also has the impact on the water environment.

Mitigation Measures
The water demand will be met by tube wells. The application for ground water abstraction has been
submitted. The project proposes to recycle treated wastewater for flushing, irrigation and Karnal
Technology thereby reducing the fresh water requirement.
An STP of 1 MLD capacity based on MBBR technology will be installed at site to treat the sewage in
addition to existing STP, additional STPs of 250 KLD (1 No.) and 450 KLD (1 No.).The treated
sewage will be recycled for flushing (girls hostel 2), irrigation and excess will be disposed on 4 acres
of green area developed under Karnal Technology. Sewage plan showing the location of STP is shown
in figure 4.1.
Ground water is being recharged within the project premises by adopting the rain water harvesting
scheme. The main aim of this technique is to minimize flow of rain water through drain/nallah to the
river without any use. The process of rain water harvesting in the project area is consist of diverting
the rainwater into the de-silting tank to remove silts/inorganic impurities. The outflow of the de-silting
tank is taken into recharging pits. The ground water is proposed to be recharged by providing 11 no. of
rain water recharging pits to tap roof top water out of which 2 No. of RWR pits have already been
constructed at site. Layout plan showing the location of rain water harvesting pits is shown in Fig. 4.2.
Excess of strom water is disposed to the strom water drain of the highway.

waste is being segregated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. The recyclable inorganic
waste is being sold to local vendors and receipt of same is attached as Annexure-9. Separate area is
earmarked for handling of solid waste. Only inert waste is send for land filling
The spent oil is collected in empty drums of 25 ltrs. and kept at safe places at sub- station area and
further disposed off to PPCB approved authorized waste handling agencies.
E-wastes: E- waste is collected from individual departments, provided to the authorized E-waste
collector. The copy of agreement for the same is attached as Annexure-10.
4.5 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONEMNT AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Operation phase
A storm water network and sewer system is designed for the university. There is no vegetation to remove.
The landscaping is undertaken to aid the natural drainage. About 6,200kg/day of solid waste shall be
generated from the project out of which 3349 Kg/day is adequately handled. Thus, there are no chances of
solid waste interfering with land environment.
4.6 IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING POWER.
The project Chandigarh University has not altered existing socio- economic condition of the surrounding
area, but it has up lift the condition of students & researchers in surrounding area. With respect to impact
on existing power supply, Power requirement of the project is sourced from PSPCL. In case of power
failure suitable capacity D.G. sets with appropriate stack height as per the CPCB guidelines are used. It is
operated during the condition of power failure only. Therefore project dont cause any negative impact on
power load on the surrounding area. The project provided overall development of the area over long term
and provided employment opportunities to outsiders in alternate employments as well as in small business.
4.7 CONCLUSION

Figure 7.1 Map of India Showing Flood Zone

2. Geological Hazards - Earthquake:


As the project site falls under seismic Zone IV i.e. high risk quakes (upto magnitute 7.9). The following
activities will be taken care for earthquakes under disaster management plan:
1. Community preparedness: Community preparedness is vital for mitigating earthquake impact. The
residents will be made aware of the most effective way to save themselves even in a slightest
shaking i.e. 'DROP, COVER and HOLD'.
2. Planning: The Bureau of Indian Standards building codes and guidelines for safe construction of
buildings against earthquakes will be followed as applicable to Zone IV seismic area. The building
plans have been approved by Chief Town Planner, Punjab before construction, according to the laid
down by laws. All necessary earthquake safety measures will be provided. Before starting the
campus approval for structural safety of the building will be obtained.
3. Public education is educating the public on causes and characteristics of an earthquake and
preparedness measures. It will be done through sensitization and training programme for
students/residents.
4. Engineered structures: Buildings are designed and constructed as per the building by laws to
withstand ground shaking. The soil type is analyzed before construction. Buildings on soft soil are
more likely to get damaged even if the magnitude of the earthquake is not strong thus construction
on soft soil is avoided.
3.Accident related Fire:
Since the projects may face fire hazards or other emergency situations, an emergency plan is provided to
caution the residents during any accidents. The fundamental approach, governing fire safety attempts to
ensure that fires do not at all start in the first place and should they occur, to restrain their spread by quick
detection and extinguishments.
Fire Detection
Despite the many precautions taken, fires may breakout. Hence the University should established measures
to detect a fire and to extinguish it. Automatic fire detection has many advantages such as speed and
reliability and is recommended.

60

Area Development Project, Chandigarh University, Village Gharuan and Mamupur, Tehsil Kharar, Distt.. SAS Nagar Project
By: Chandigarh Educational Trust

A variety of detection systems are available. They are activated by one of the effects of fire such as
temperature rise, smoke, flame or heat and can be coupled to an alarm system which would provide visual/
audible alarms at designed manned locations. They can also be designed to automatically actuate fire
extinguishing systems. The selection/ installation of the detection system should conform to the applicable
national standards.
Extinguishing System
Equipment for the fighting should be chosen with care and suited to the task. Fires are classified depending
on the materials involved and appropriate extinguishing agents are also recommended. Table-I gives the
classification/ recommendation as per Indian Standard IS-2490. The extinguishing agents mentioned are
applied to the fire using portable or fixed appliances. To fight fires at their incipient stage, portable
extinguishers prove very useful. These must be provided in adequate numbers at appropriate locations and
residents should be thoroughly trained in their use.
Management Plan
The task of accident and emergency control can be simplified and made effective if pre-planned
systems and procedures are available. Without these, important matters may be overlooked at the time
of an emergency.
Every management must survey the total operation to identify potential for fire losses and develop an
action plan to put the business back to normal with minimum loss of time. A fire protection Manual
should be prepared, preferably in 3-parts.

1) The first part should outline the fire risks in terms of locations, equipment and facilities and
indicate the ways in which risks can be minimized.
2) The second part would set out operating procedures, standards of fire protection established, and
maintenances of these standards action to be taken in the event of fire by every level of
management responsibility for inspection and repair. It should also include instructions for staff
responsible for maintaining services.
3) The third part should outline the training required for existing and new staff, the inspection
schedules and check lists, sources of additional information and help.
The Management Cell of the project keep ready a plan to alert and take care of students and residents in
case there is any fire. There is designated an Emergency Team that consist of staff of maintenance
department, security supervisor representative of residents. Fire Fighting Plan is shown in Fig. 7.2
During non-emergencies this team shall engage in activities as (1) Earmarking Area for Assembling
during Emergencies (2) Awareness programme for the on fire, first aid and evacuation (3) Identification
of Hospitals (4) Identification and Displaying Emergency Numbers and Contacts (5) Displaying
Emergency Symbols (6) Updating First Aid Emergency Kit (7) Updating Fire Control Systems (8)
Preparation and Updating of Standard Operating procedures (SOP)
In case member on duty spots the emergency like comes to know about any fire he will also try his best
to find out about the exact location and nature of emergency. In accordance with the SOP the following
activities will immediately begin (1) Residents will be informed, necessary Alarms shall be activated to
direct the residents to the emergency assembly area if needed (2) The external network of District Fire
Station, Police and Hospital shall be intimated.
