Cuddalore IL&FS Thermal Power Station

Cuddalore IL&FS Power Station is a 1,200-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Tamil Nadu, India. Background on plant The project received environmental clearance in 2010 as a 3,600 MW thermal power project to be developed in phases, with Phase-I comprising 2 x 600 MW units and Phase-II comprising the remaining 2,400 MW (3X800 MW). On 13 April 2012, SEPCO3 of China said it had signed a $2.4 billion contract to build the second phase of the coal-fired power complex. IL&FS said it would import coal from Indonesia, Australia and South Africa to fuel the plant. It said it had acquired a mine in Indonesia to supply the generators. IL&FS plans to sell the power from the project to state-run distribution companies on a long-term basis as well as in the open market. The project faced delays due to an order by National Green Tribunal in June 2012 for a flue gas desulphurisation unit. Due to this, the two units are proposed to come up by December 2014 and February 2015, respectively, at a cost of Rs 9,500 crore. In February 2014 the project was amended to be 2X600 MW and 3X660 MW. On 10 November 2014, the National Green Tribunal cancelled the Environmental Clearance for the project, on the grounds that the project had not conducted a proper cumulative impact assessment of the project. It ordered "a fresh review of the environmental clearance on the basis of a fresh cumulative impact assessment study." Unit 1 was commissioned in September 2015 and unit 2 in March 2016. With no forward progress more than two years after receiving environmental clearance, Phase II appears to be shelved or abandoned. References

Bella Vista, Hyderabad

Bella Vista is a royal palace of the Nizam during the existence of Hyderabad State, now located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It is an Indo-European building standing on a 10-acre (40,000 m2) verdant campus. The building's French architect named it Bella Vista, meaning beautiful sight, since it overlooks the Hussain sagar lake. It is located in the Saifabad suburb and is modeled on the Henley-on-Thames of England. Since 1956, the building has been home to the Administrative Staff College of India. History Muslehuddin Mohammed, bar-at-law, became Chief Justice of the High Court of Hyderabad and was given the title Hakim-ud-Dowla. He constructed the palace as his residence in 1905. He lived there from 1905 to 1914 when he fell victim to plague at the age of 57. On his death in 1916, the family decided to sell the palace. The last Nizam purchased it, along with furniture, for Rs 60,000 in 1917. It was in this palace that the elder son of the Seventh Nizam-Mir Osman Ali Khan who was heir apparent to the throne of Hyderabad - Prince of Berar, Azam Jah lived with his wife, Princess Durru Shehvar. Administrative Staff College of India ASCI was started jointly by the Government of India and representatives of industry as an autonomous institute in 1956 for training in the field of civil service development. Initially, the government Of India planned to set up the college in Britain. The first session was to commence in 1948 at Henley.

ASCI specialises in providing non-degree post-graduate diplomas for civil servants of corporate and government sectors and urban management. The research and consultancy activities of ASCI were started in 1973 with aid from Ford Foundation. IAS officer R. H. Khwaja took charge as ASCI director-general on 1 January 2017. References
Bellandur

Bellandur (anglicky Bellandur Lake) je městské jezero v jihovýchodní části indického města Bengalúr ve státě Karnátaka. Je součástí propojené soustavy nádrží a kanálů (tzv. tank system), která odvádí vodu směrem k jezeru Varthur. Jezero se stalo mezinárodně známé kvůli extrémnímu znečištění: na hladině a v odvodňovacích kanálech se opakovaně tvoří hustá toxická pěna a v některých letech došlo i k požárům na hladině nebo v bezprostředním okolí, které souvisely se směsí odpadních vod, ropných látek a dalších organických a průmyslových kontaminantů. Poloha a hydrologie Bellandur leží v jedné z hlavních odtokových „údolnic“ Bengalúru a je napojen na řetězec městských jezer a odvodňovacích kanálů. Z hydrologického hlediska funguje jako recipient (sběrná nádrž) pro velkou část jihovýchodního města a přepouští vodu dále do jezera Varthur. Dlouhodobý vývoj jezera ovlivnily urbanizační zásahy: přerušování propojení mezi nádržemi, zanášení sedimenty, zábory břehových mokřadů i přítoky nečištěných odpadních vod. Znečištění, pěna a požáry Do jezera dlouhodobě přitékají splašky a průmyslové vody, včetně detergentů (povrchově aktivních látek), živin a dalších chemických látek. V kombinaci s organickým znečištěním a turbulence po deštích může docházet k intenzivní tvorbě pěny, která se někdy hromadí i mimo koryta kanálů. Pěna je popisována jako dráždivá při kontaktu s pokožkou a obtěžující zápachem; problém se opakovaně objevoval v médiích zejména v letech 2015–2019. Požáry byly v některých případech spojovány s přítomností hořlavých složek na hladině a v odpadních vodách; Bellandur hořel nebo „doutnal“ opakovaně (mediálně známé události např. v roce 2015, 2017 a 2018). Ekologické dopady Dlouhodobé znečištění vede ke změnám vodní vegetace a k eutrofizaci; vývoj pokryvu řas a makrofytů byl sledován i metodami dálkového průzkumu Země. V okolí jezera byly popisovány dopady na půdu a zemědělské plodiny zavlažované vodou z kontaminovaných zdrojů; jedna z citovaných studií hodnotila rizika kontaminace těžkými kovy v rámci systému Bellanduru. Opatření a správa Řešení problémů komplikuje roztříštěná správa městské infrastruktury a potřeba koordinace mezi více institucemi (např. vodohospodářské podniky, městská správa, orgány ochrany životního prostředí). V praxi se opatření soustřeďují zejména na omezení přítoku nečištěných odpadních vod, budování či rozšiřování čistíren a technická opatření v odvodňovacích kanálech.

Bellandur-See

Der Bellandur-See (Kannada ಬೆಳ್ಳಂದೂರು ಕೆರೆ/ಕೊಳ/ಹಳ್ಳ) im Südosten der Stadt Bangalore gelegen bildet das größte Gewässer der Stadt. Er ist Teil des Bellandur-Bewässerungssystems, das sich im Süden und Südosten Bangalores über ein Einzugsgebiet von 148 Quadratkilometern erstreckt. Das Wasser mündet vom Bellandur-See in den östlich gelegenen Varthur Lake und gelangt von dort in das Tal des Pinakani, wo es in den Pennar mündet. Derzeit wird der größte Teil des Abwassers von Bangalore in den See geleitet, wodurch dieser erheblich verschmutzt wird. Er wird von einem Ölfilm überzogen, der im Mai 2015 Feuer fing und stundenlang brannte. Geographie Der Bellandur-See ist ein größeres Gewässer in einem der drei Haupttäler Bangalores. Er bildet einen Teil des Einzugsgebietes des Ponnaiyar. Flora und Fauna Einstmals war Bellandur-See eine wichtige Wasserstelle für die Tierarten der Umgebung, darunter Eisvögel, Papageien, Holztauben, Königskobras, Rattenschlangen und Warane. Durch die Wasserverschmutzung werden sie zusehends verdrängt. Die Anlage neuer Siedlungen rund um den See wird das Problem absehbar verschärfen.

Bharat Insurance Building

Bharat Insurance building is a heritage building in Chennai, India. Located on the arterial Anna Salai, it was built in 1897. Originally known as Kardyl Building, the building is an example of the Indo-Saracenic architecture, a hybrid of Muslim design with Indian materials. The Madras High Court has stayed demolition of the building following a petition from heritage lovers. History The building with stained glass panels, domes, spires, arches, verandahs and 100-ft minarets was built in 1897. Once a lively commercial centre, it started deteriorating due to poor maintenance. The ownership changed several hands before it came under the possession of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in 1956. In 1998, tenants were asked to vacate the premises due to the weakness of the structure, and LIC planned to demolish the building in 2006. The Madras High Court stayed it after the Indian National Trust for Architectural and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) filed a public interest litigation. INTACH received an interim order to preserve the building. LIC appealed to the Supreme Court which referred the matter back to the Madras High Court. The High Court issued a comprehensive order in 2009, asking the state government to submit a report on the building and also form a conservation committee to handle protection of other heritage structures. The heritage committee said in its report to the High Court that the building should be preserved, reiterating its heritage value. Meanwhile, LIC filed a petition with the Supreme Court in 2010, citing a technical report to argue that the building is structurally unsound and that it should be allowed to redevelop the property so it will resemble the old building in design. It also stated that the building has not been listed as a heritage structure anywhere and proposed an eight-storeyed complex in its place. The government made an announcement in October 2010 about finalising a heritage bill. The Madras High Court in a landmark judgement in 2010 included the building in a set of 400-plus heritage structures that could not be demolished. The grade 'A' certification was also confirmed.

Bhongir-Fort

Das Bhongir-Fort (Telugu భువనగిరి కోట) ist eine Bergfestung bei der etwa 430 m hoch gelegenen Stadt Bhuvanagiri im indischen Bundesstaat Telangana. Lage Die etwa 50 km (Fahrtstrecke) nordöstlich von Hyderabad gelegene Bergfestung befindet sich auf einem markanten, ca. 170 m hohen Granitfelsen. Geschichte Die Bergfestung wurde um das Jahr 1076 vom gerade erst an die Macht gekommenen Chalukya-Herrscher Vikramaditya II. errichtet, aber im 12. oder 13. Jahrhundert von der Kakatiya-Dynastie übernommen. Im 15. Jahrhundert wurde sie vom muslimischen Bahmani-Sultanat und später vom Qutb-Schāhī-Sultanat okkupiert. Der heutige Name stammt aus der britischen Kolonialzeit. Anlage Die Festung beeindruckt vor allem durch ihre Lage. Im Inneren des Forts sind nur wenige Bauten aus islamischer Zeit erhalten, die zeittypische Bögen und Zinnen vorweisen.
