Environmental Screening Checklist

Name of Subproject: Checking side erosion on right side of Indus River D/S Gajjani Escape.
Proposing Agency: Executive Engineer, D.G.Khan Construction Division, DG Khan Zone

Sub project Location: Area lies in Shadan Lund, Kala, Shah Saddar Din, Pir Adil, Bait Karam Shah, Bait Sawai &
Gajjani etc of Tehsil & District D.G Khan.

Sub Project Objective: The main objective of the project helps to protect D.G.Khan Canal with its system, private
and public precious infrastructures, agriculture lands and so many villages from the river
action.

Subproject description:
(describe here subproject
components and their
dimensions/quantum,
construction and O&M
activities, major construction
material required with
approximate quantities, and
other pertinent details):
The contention of project is (1) Constructing guide wall at right bank of Sori Lund flood
carrying channel. (2) Constructing guide head at existing truncated shank of Gajjani escape.
(3) Constructing guide head spur downstream 6650' from Gajjani escape proposed on the
right side of the river Indus near Village Shadan Lund, Kala, Shah Saddar Din, Pir Adil,
Bait Karam Shah, Bait Sawai & Gajjani District D.G Khan, act as protection and river
training works. This project protect the Link No.1 and adjoining abadies, furtile land.
