In the three coastal districts of West Bengal i.e. South 24-Pgs.,North 24-Pgs. and
Purba Mdinipur 150 Nos. of Multipurpose Cyclone Shelters are proposed to br constructed
under the schemr NCRMP with world bank aided fund and State Fund (25%). Initially
a Central Government undertaking,Hindusthan Steel Works Construction Limited were
assigned for the preparation of D.P.R with Investment Proposal ,but they were discontinued
in the midway.CRZ clearance, Environment Impact Assesment and social screening were
obtained for all the 150 sites.However during approval of the model D.P.R prepared
by H.S.C.L, the World Bank suggested some changes in the D.P.R. Accordingly arrangement
was made to prepare fresh D.P.R by Jadavpur University. For preparation of fresh
D.P.R assesment of availabilities of sites for the proposed construction was made,
it was found that some of the sites have been changed and some new sites were identified
for the scheme.As per nallist of sites prepared by the district authorities it is
found only 69 No. of sites are common with original list and 81 sites are new. Inthe
revised list of sites soil testing works were done only for 16 sites.Jadavpur University
has prepared preliminary drawing and design of six types of cyclone shelter which
were approved by this department but could not be finalized as the sites have not
been finalized yet.
