It was decided to declare the reservoir and peripheral forests under Anandapur and Karanjia Forest Division as sanctuary and suspend the rights of local people under the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972.

Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project

Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project is a coal-based thermal power plant located at Sivanpur village in Ankorha in Nabinagar taluk in Aurangabad district, Bihar. It was conceptualised in 1989 by the then Chief Minister of Bihar Satyendra Narayan Sinha who sent the proposal to set up a NTPC's super thermal power project at Nabinagar in Bihar's Aurangabad district to then Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi; but the project went into limbo as the following state governments failed to follow it. In 2007, Manmohan Singh's government finally put a stamp of approval on it. The power plant is owned by the Nabinagar Power Generating Company- initially a 50:50 joint venture between NTPC Limited and Bihar State Power Holding Company Limited. The Nabinagar plant will have capacity of 4380 MW( 660 MW × 6). The project's generation capacity initially was to be 3960 MW but in 2016, the production capacity was increased to 4380 MW. Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project will be third largest power project in India, after 4700 MW Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station (Singrauli) and maharashtra belar. This Super Thermal Power Project is spread over 2970 acres, which includes 150 acres of land for the township and 63 acres of land for construction of rail corridor. On 17 April 2018, Bihar state cabinet, headed by chief minister Nitish Kumar, gave its nod to handing over of Nabinagar Power Generating Company to National Thermal Power Corporation. On 15 May 2018, Bihar Government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to hand over the thermal plant to National Thermal Power Corporation for a 33-year lease. For the Nabinagar plant's Bihar would get 78% of the electricity generated from the plant, while UP would get 11%, jharkhand 3% and Sikkim 1%. Capacity The planned capacity of the power plant in 1980 MW (3×660 MW). Unit-1 with capacity to generate 660 MW, is scheduled to be commissioned in Dec'18. Future expansion There is a plan to add three units of 800 MW each at the site in future.

Charbatia Air Base

Charbatia Air Base (ICAO: VE62) is located approximately 12 km north of Cuttack, Odisha near town of Charbatia in eastern India. History The airstrip was built by the British during World War II and was abandoned after the war. Use by CIA During the Sino-Indian War, prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru agreed to allow the Central Intelligence Agency to fly Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance missions over India in order to surveil the India–China border. The following year, Charbatia Air Base was further renovated and was used by the CIA, which conducted multiple U2 surveillance missions from the base between 1964 and 1967. The first aircraft was delivered in the mid 60s and was a World War II vintage C-46 Commando which was outfitted with an oxygen distribution system for operator and flight personnel along with surveillance electronics and recording equipment at the Air America base in Tainan, Taiwan. The installation was supervised by the design engineer, Mr. Kent Williamson. Mr. Williamson, along with other experienced personnel also deployed to Charbatia to train the first operator and maintenance personnel. Later additions to the surveillance equipment include specially outfitted Boeing 727 and Gulfstream III jets. Expansion plans and cancellation The air base is spread over 2,000 acres (8.1 km2). In 2011, the Government of India which controls the airbase announced that it will be converted into a full-fledged Indian Air Force station with six C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft. But the plans for setting up such a station was subsequently cancelled and the C-130 Hercules transport unit was shifted to Panagarh air force base in West Bengal. Aviation Research Center Charbatia Air base houses aerial reconnaissance post of the intelligence agency's aviation unit, the Aviation Research Centre (ARC). The Research and Analysis Wing, India's primary foreign intelligence agency, operates intelligence collection aircraft through the ARC. The aircraft are fitted with electronic surveillance equipment and long range cameras capable of taking pictures of targets from high altitudes. References
Kesariya Stupa

Die Kesariya Stupa (Hindi केसरिया स्तूप) war eine der bedeutendsten Stupas im nordindischen Bundesstaat Bihar und ist immer noch Ziel von buddhistischen Pilgern. Lage Die Ruine der Kesariya-Stupa befindet sich gut 3 km südwestlich der ca. 100 km nordwestlich von Patna in der Gangesebene gelegenen Stadt Kesariya im Distrikt Purba Champaran in der Nähe des Ganges-Nebenflusses Gandak in einer Höhe von ca. 45 m. Geschichte Angeblich soll Buddha im Verlauf seiner Wanderungen durch den Norden Indiens eine Nacht im damaligen Ort Kesaputta verbracht und beim Abschied seine Bettelschale zurückgelassen haben. Es wird angenommen, dass spätestens unter Kaiser Ashoka mit einem einfachen Erdhügel zu Buddhas Gedenken begonnen wurde. Dieser wurde im Lauf der Zeit vergrößert und zuletzt mit einer Ummantelung aus Ziegelsteinen versehen. Man nimmt an, dass der heutige Zustand weitgehend dem Blütezeit des Gupta-Reichs im 3. oder 4. Jahrhundert entspricht. Die chinesischen Mönche Faxian († um 422) und Xuanzang († 664) berichten jeweils von einem Besuch in der ehemals sowohl religiös als auch kulturell und wirtschaftlich Stätte. Auf einer Inspektionsreise Colonel Mackenzies im Jahr 1814 entdeckt, wurde der Stupa unter der Leitung von Alexander Cunningham in den Jahren 1861/62 erstmals archäologisch untersucht. Neuere Ausgrabungen durch den Archaeological Survey of India fanden im Jahr 1998 statt. Architektur Die Gesamtanlage besteht aus einem vertikal 6-stufig gegliederten und leicht polygonal gebrochenen Unterbau mit einem Durchmesser von ca. 120 m und dem darauf aufsitzenden eigentlichen runden Stupa-Turm, der – zusammen mit dem Unterbau – immer noch eine Gesamthöhe vom 34 m erreicht. Skulptur Die zahlreichen Außenwandnischen des Stupa waren wohl sämtlich mit gestifteten Buddha-Statuen im Lotossitz gefüllt. Einige sind erhalten, haben aber ihre Köpfe verloren. Bedeutung Die Gesamtanlage der Kesariya Stupa wird häufig mit dem großen Stupa bei der ca. 100 km nordwestlich gelegenen Stadt Lauriya Nandangarh verglichen. Vergleiche der beiden Stupas mit dem im 8./9. Jahrhundert erbauten und ebenfalls buddhistischen Borobodur auf der indonesischen Insel Java gibt es ebenfalls; alle drei haben einen sich nach oben verjüngenden stufenförmigen Unterbau mit ungefähr denselben Maßen.
