Cross-border mining ripples -Sumir Karmakar |

Why farmers worry when Bhutan lifts stones Saralpara (India-Bhutan border): Since the 1990s, Anarshi Iswary and nearly 500 other farmers from five villages here have been joining hands every Wednesday during the monsoon to build, repair or rebuild a makeshift stone dam on the Saralbhanga, flowing down the hills of Bhutan about 4km away. The Sarpang district administration in Bhutan gives permission with a condition: no digging of the riverbed. The nine-foot-tall dam they build in the middle of the river allows the villagers to divert the water through the dongs (traditional irrigation channels) to their villages, situated around five feet higher on the Indian side. This season, however, Iswary is worried that the irrigation system could be affected by the increasing stone mining in the river by Bhutan. "The way they are extracting the boulders, it will increase the current and the flow of silt in the river," Iswary, a 55-year-old Bodo farmer from Sonapur village, told The Telegraph. "The strong current will break our dam as we are not allowed to use cement, and the silt will clog our dongs and destroy our paddy fields, turning them barren." Iswary pointed to the three excavators at work in the river. This correspondent witnessed large-scale stone mining on the Bhutan side of the river. India's forest department considers the 5,000-odd Bodo, Adivasi, Nepali, Rabha and Garo families living in the Ultapani reserve forest as encroachers, said Dhan Kumar Gurung, a Nepali farmer.
