horizontal for which the derrick is designed (generally 15 degree) or at such
greater angle as be may be agreed. The angle at which the test has been
carried out shall be mentioned in the test certificate. The test load shall be
applied by hoisting moveable weights. During the test, the boom shall be
swung with the test load, as far as practicable, in both directions;
b) a derrick boom, designed to be raised with power, with the load suspended,
shall in additional to the tests at (a), be raised (with the load suspended) to its
maximum working angle to the horizontal and the two outermost positions;
c) while test loading of a heavy lift derrick, the competent person responsible
for test using moveable weights shall ascertain from the owner of the vessel or
floating platform that the stability of the vessel or platform is adequate for the
test.
4) The derricks tested under clause (3) shall not be used in union purchase rig
unless;
a) the derricks rigged in union purchase are tested with the test load
appropriate to the SWL in union purchase (at the headroom and with the derrick
booms in their approved working position);
b) the safe working load of the derrick in union purchase rig has also been
specified by a competent person in a report in Form-V;
c) Any limitations or conditions specified in the said report are compiled
with; and
d) The two hoist popes are coupled together by a suitable swivel assemble.
Note: - The safe working load of derricks (for each method of rig including union
purchase) shall be shown on the certificate of test and marked on the derrick
booms.
(5) Lifting appliances:-
a) The test load shall be lifted and swung, as far as possible, in both
directions. If the jib or boom of the crane has a variable radius, it shall be tested
with loads at the maximum and minimum radii. In case of hydraulic cranes when
owing to the limitations of pressure, it is impossible to lift a test load in
accordance with table under item (1), it will be sufficient to lift the greatest
possible load which shall be more than safe than working load;
b) The test shall be performed at maximum, minimum and intermediate

radius points as well as such points in the area of rotation, as the competent
person may decide. The test shall consist of hoisting, lowering, breaking, and
swinging and through all positions and operations normally performed. An
additional test shall be made by operating the machinery at maximum working
speed with the safe working load suspended.
(6) Use of spring or hydraulic balances, etc for test loading:-
All tests shall normally be carried on with the help of dead weights. In case
of periodical test, replacements or renewals, test load may be applied by means of
suitable springs or hydraulic balances. In such case, test load shall be applied
with the boom, as far out as practicable, in both directions. The test shall not be
taken as satisfactory, unless the balance has been certified for accuracy by the
competent authority within 2.0 per cent and the pointer or the machine has
remained constant at the test load for a period of at least five minutes;
(7) Testing machines and dead weights;
(a) A suitable testing machine shall be used for testing of chains; wire ropes
and other lifting gears;
(b) Testing machines and balances to be used in test loading, testing and
checking shall not be used unless they have been certified for accuracy at least
once in the preceding twelve months by the competent authority;
(c) Moveable weights used for the test loading of the lifting appliances
having a safe working load not exceeding twenty tonnes shall be checked for
accuracy by means of suitable weighing machine of certified accuracy.
(8) Thorough examination after testing or test loading;
After being tested or test loaded, every lifting appliance and associated
gear shall be thoroughly examined to see that no part has been damaged or
permanently deformed during the rest. For this purpose, the lifting appliance or
gear shall be dismantled to the extent considered necessary by the competent
person.

Order No. 3/4/ID/2008/SDR dated 6th April, 2009 of the Election

Commission of India, New Delhi is hereby republished for general information:-

No. 3/4/ID/2008/SDR Dated: 6th April, 2009
ORDER
1. Whereas, Section 61 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951

provides that with a view to preventing impersonation of electors, so as to
make the right of genuine electors to vote under section 62 of that Act more
effective, provisions may be made by rules under that Act for use of Identity
Cards for electors as the means of establishing their identity at the time of
polling; and
2. Whereas, Rule 28 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, empowers

the Election Commission to direct, with a view to preventing impersonation of
electors and facilitating their identification at the time of poll, the issue of
Electoral Identity Cards to electors bearing their photographs at State cost;
and
3. Whereas, Rules 49H (3) and 49K (2) (b) of the conduct of Elections
Rules, 1961, stipulate that where the electors of a constituency have been
supplied with Electors Identity Cards under the said provisions of Rule 28 of
the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, the electors shall produce their
Electoral Identity Cards at the polling station and failure or refusal on their
part to produce those Electoral Identity Cards may result in the denial of
permission to vote; and
4. Whereas, a combined and harmonious reading of the aforesaid

provisions of the said Act and the Rules, makes it clear that although the
right to vote arises by the existence of the name in the electoral roll, it is also
dependent upon the use of the Electors Identity Card, where provided by the
Election Commission at State cost, and that both are to be used together; and
5. Whereas, the Election Commission made an Order on the 28th August,

1993, directing the issue of Electors Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) to all
electors, according to a time bound programme; and
6. Whereas, the Commission has taken note of the fact that over the last
few years since the implementation of the programme of issue of EPICs was
taken up, the election machinery of the States and Union Territories have
issued these cards to a substantially high number of electors in all States and
Union Territories and made all possible efforts, by way of repeated rounds of
the constituencies and areas, with a view to issuing cards to the left-out
electors; and
7. Whereas, electoral rolls containing photographs of the electors have

been prepared and issued in all States and Union Territories except in the
States of Assam, Jammu & Kashmir and Nagaland; and
8. Whereas, at the general election to the Legislative Assembly of Haryana
held in January – March, 2000, and at all general and bye-elections held
since then, the Commission had directed that all electors who were issued
with EPICs should produce those cards to exercise their franchise at the said
elections, and that it would permit the odd electors who have not obtained
their EPICs to vote at the said elections, provided their identity is otherwise
established by production of one of the alternative documents prescribed by
the Commission; and

GANGTOK
NO. 11(192) Irri&FCD/355 Dated : 19.08.09
NOTIFICATION
With a view to ensure proper water resources planning and co-ordination in relation to diverse use of
water resources in the State of Sikkim, the State Government constituted the Standing Committee vide
Notification No.89/Home/97dated 22.02.1997 which was reconstituted vide Notification
No.01/Home/2007 dated 03.01.2007 read with Notification No.79/Irri/07 dated 08.05.2007 and
Notification No.80/Irri/07 dated 08.05.2007 to frame the State Water Policy. The State Government is
hereby pleased to notify the State Water Policy framed in line of the National Water Policy to guide in
formulating policies and programmes for water resources development and its management in the State .
1. NEED FOR A STATE WATER POLICY
1.1 Water is a prime natural resource and it is necessary for human and all forms of life’s survival. It is
scarce compared its usefulness and its planning, development and management need to be governed by
state perspectives.
1.2 Floods and droughts affect certain areas of the State. The South and West Districts of Sikkim have more
drought prone areas. The management of drought and flood require proper coordination between the
districts and the state level administration.
1.3 State level planning and implementation of individual irrigation or multipurpose projects involve a
number of aspects and issues such as environmental protection, rehabilitation of project affected areas,
people and livestock, public health consequences of water impoundment, dam safety etc. The complex
problems involve in the implementation of projects need to be tackled on the basis of policies and
strategies adopted by the State in view of the central guidelines.
1.4 The principal conjunctive use of water has been for irrigation. Further the growth process and the
expansion of the economic activities in the State is leading to the increasing demands for diverse
purpose namely: domestic, hydropower, agriculture, industrial, recreation etc. The agricultural
production has increased since the State became part of the Indian Union. And a further development in
a substantial order is necessary to meet the food and fibre needs of the growing population of the state.
1.5 Water quality is one of the important aspects of the State Water Policy. Improvements in existing
strategies, innovation of new techniques resting on a strong science and technology base are needed to
eliminate the pollution of surface and ground water resources. Science and Technology has important
role to play in imparting training on water resource development. Our State is a landlocked state and
especially during monsoon the entire state is affected by landslides and soil erosion due to excessive
precipitation and as a result lot of damages are caused to the lives and properties. Their should be
adequate provisions to meet the contingencies in the budget to meet such challenges.
2. INFORMATION SYSTEM
21. The State should provide adequate infrastructure for assessing hydrological data and availability of
water from all water bodies such as snow melting, glacier, lakes, jhoras, streams, rivers and ground
water. The infrastructure for assessing the quality and discharge of water from all available sources
should also be developed as well as to assess the quantum of discharge available in the State during dry
and also in summer.
2.2 A well developed information system is the prime requisite for resource planning. A standardized state
information system should be established with a network of data banks and data bases. There should be
a free exchange of data among the various users agencies. Apart from the data regarding water
availability and actual water use, the system should also include comprehensive and reasonably reliable
projections of future demand of water for diverse purposes.
3. MAXIMIZING WATER AVAILABILITY
3.1 The water availability in the State should be brought within the category of utilization resources to the
maximum possible extent. The resources should be conserved and the availability augmented by
measures for maximizing retention and minimizing losses.
3.2 Resource planning has to be done within the framework of the State Water Policy so that optimum use
of the resources can be achieved.
3.3 Water should be made available to water scarce areas by transfer from available areas based on the
state perspective and on the basis of requirements of the particular scheme.
3.4 Recycling and re-use of water should be an integral part of water resource development and to be
encouraged at every level.
3.5 Rooftop and run-off water harvesting should be encouraged to conserve the water to use it for various
purposes.
4. PROJECT PLANNING
4.1 Water resource development projects should be planned and developed for multipurpose projects.
Provision for drinking water should be a primary consideration. The projects should include for
irrigation, hydro electric power generation, flood mitigation, industrial purpose, pisciculture and
recreation wherever possible for tourism purposes etc.
4.2 There should be an integrated and multi-disciplinary approach to the planning, formulation, clearance
and implementation of projects including catchments area treatment and management, environmental
and ecological aspects, rehabilitation of affected people and command area development etc.
4.3 Special efforts should be made to investigate and formulate projects either in or for the benefit of area
inhabited by tribal or other specially disadvantaged groups such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes. In other areas also, project planning should pay special attention to the needs of Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections of the society.
4.4 The planning of projects in hilly areas should take into account the need to provide assured drinking
water, possibilities of hydro power development and the proper approach to irrigation in such areas in
the context of physical features and constraints such as steep slopes, rapid run-off and the incidence of
soil erosion and landslide.
4.5 Integrated and coordinated development of surface water, ground water and their conjunctive use
should be envisaged in the project planning stage and should form an essential part of the project.
4.6 The study of the impact of a project during construction and later on human lives, settlement,
occupations, economic and other aspects should be an essential component of project planning.
4.7 In the planning implementation and operation of projects, preservation of the quality of environment
and the ecological balance should be a primary consideration. The adverse impact on the environment
if any, should be minimized and should be off-set by adequate compensatory measures.
5. MAINTENANCE AND MODERNISATION
5.1 Structures and systems created through massive investments should be properly
maintained in good health. Appropriate annual provisions should be made for this purpose in the
budget.
5.2 There should be a regular monitoring of structures and systems and necessary rehabilitation and
modernization programmes should be undertaken.
5.3 There should be beneficiaries associations registered with the Government and the projects on
completion should be taken over by the associations for maintaining the same.
6. SAFETY OF STRUCTURES
There should be proper organizational arrangements at the State Level for ensuring the safety of
storage dams and other water related structures. The State should keep in mind the central guidelines
for the subject in regard to safety of structures. There should be a system of continuous surveillance
and regular visit by experts.
7. GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT
7.1 There should be a periodical reassessment on a scientific basis of the ground water potential taking into
consideration the quality of the water available and economic viability.
7.2 Exploitation of ground water resources should be so regulated as not to exceed the recharging
possibilities as also to ensure social equity. Ground water recharge projects should be developed and
implemented for augmenting the available supplies.
8. WATER SHARING/DISTRIBUTION OF WATERS OF INTER STATE RIVERS AMONGST

THE STATES
8.1 The State should commit for sharing of its water only in term of excess quantum after meeting the need
of water users and all water related developmental activities of the State.
9. WATER ALLOCATION PRIORITIES
In the planning and operation of systems, water allocation priorities are broadly classified as follows:
(a) Drinking Water, (b) Hydro power (c) Irrigation (d) Ecology (e) Industries (f) Recreation
and (g) other uses.
However, these priorities can be modified if necessary in particular regions with reference to area
specific considerations.
10. DRINKING WATER
Adequate safe drinking water facilities should be provided to the entire population both in urban and in
rural areas. Irrigation and multipurpose projects should invariably include a drinking water component.
Wherever there is no alternative source of drinking water, priorities should be given to the needs of
human beings and animals on any available water.
11. HYDRO POWER

That the State Government shall develop Hydro Electricity based on water availability and topography
features for not only to fulfill the energy needs of the people of the State but also to generate income by
selling the surplus power. The emphasis should be given to develop hydro project for maximum power
generation keeping in view of environmental conservation, catchments area treatment and water needs
of not only human beings and animals but also of flora and fauna of the downstream of the project site.
12. IRRIGATION
12.1 Irrigation planning either in an individual project in a basin as a whole should be taken into account the
irritability of land, cost effective irrigation options possible from all available sources of water and
appropriate irrigation techniques. The irrigation intensity should be such as to extend the benefits of
irrigation to a large number of farm families as far as possible keeping in view the need to maximize
production.
12.2 There should be a close integration of water use and land use policies.
12.3 Water allocation in an irrigation system has to be done with due regard to equity and social justice.
Disparities in the availability of water between head-reach and tail-end farms and between large and
small farms should be obviated by adoption of a rotational water distribution system and supply of
water on a volumetric basis subject to certain ceilings.
12.4 Concerted efforts are to be made to ensure that the irrigation potential created is fully utilized and the
gap between the potential created and its utilization is removed. For this purpose, the command area
development approach should be adopted in all irrigation projects.
13. INDUSTRIAL, RECREATIONAL AND OTHER USES
Emphasis should be given for development of water based industries, recreation and other activities
based on water depending upon the availability of the water. However, adequate care should be taken
not to pollute the water bodies by such activities and effluents from industries etc.
14. WATER RATES
Water rates should be such as to convey the scarcity value or the resource to the users and to foster the
motivation for economy in water use. It should be adequate to cover the annual maintenance and
operation charges and to cover up a part of the fixed costs. The water rates for surface water and
ground water should be rationalized with due regard to the interests of small and marginal farmers.
15. PARTICIPATION OF FARMERS AND VOLUNTARY AGENCIES
Efforts should be made to involve farmers progressively in various aspect of management of irrigation
systems, particularly in water distribution and collection of water rates. Assistance of voluntary
agencies and NGO’s should be enlisted in educating the farmers in efficient water use and water
management.
16. WATER ZONING
Economic development activities including agriculture, industrial and urban development, should be
planned with due regard to the constraints imposed by the configuration of water availability. There
should be a water zoning within the state and the economic activities should be guided and regulated in
accordance with such zoning.
17. CONSERVATION OF WATER
The efficiency of utilization in all the diverse uses of water should be improved and an awareness of
water as a scarce resource should be fostered. Conservation consciousness should be promoted through
education, regulation, incentives and disincentives. Further there should be a proper co-ordination
between the departments connected with the implementation of the project for the conservation of
water in the area.
18. LANDSLIDE, SOIL EROSION AND FLOOD CONTROL MANAGEMENT
There should be a master plan for landslide, soil erosion and flood control management for landslide
and soil erosion prone area and flood prone basin. Sound watershed management through extensive soil
conservation, catchments area treatment, preservation of check-dams and rain water harvesting
structures should be promoted to reduce the intensity of floods. Adequate flood cushion should be
provided in water storage projects wherever feasible to facilitate better flood management. An
extensive network for flood forecasting should be established for timely warning to the settlements in
the river banks along with the regulation of settlements and economic activity in the river bank zone to
minimize the loss of life and property on account of floods while physical flood protection work like
embankments and dykes will continue to be necessary. The emphasis should be on non-structural
measures for the minimization of losses, such as flood forecasting and warning and river bank zoning
so as to reduce the recurring expenditure on flood relief. Further the State should also undertake the
requisite steps to discourage river bank occupation and economic activities in the adjacent areas of the
river bank to be regulated. The soil erosion and landslide should be minimized by suitable cost
effective measures.
19. DROUGHT MANAGEMENT
19.1 Drought prone area should be made less vulnerable to drought associated problems through soil
moisture conservation measures, roof water harvesting practices, minimization of evaporation losses,
development of the ground water potential and transfer of surface water from surplus areas where
feasible and appropriate. Pastures, forestry, or other modes of development which are relatively less
water demanding should be encouraged. In planning of water resource development projects, the needs
of drought prone area should be given priority.
19.2 Relief works undertaken for providing employment to drought-stricken populations should preferably
be for drought proofing.
20. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

For effective and economical management of our water resources the frontiers of knowledge need to be
pushed forward in several directions by intensifying research efforts in various areas, including the
following:
• Hydrometeorology ;
• Assessment of Water resources ;
• Snow and Lake hydrology ;
• Water harvesting ;
• Crops and cropping system ;
• The safety and longevity of water related structures ;
• River morphology and hydraulics ;
• Soil and materials research ;
• Better water management practices and improvements in operational technology;
• Recycling and re-use
• Economical designs for water resource projects.
21. TRAINING
A perspective plan for standardized training should be an integral part of water resources development.
It should cover training in information system, sectoral planning, projects planning and formulation,
project management, operation of projects and their physical structures and systems and the
management of the water distribution system. The training should extend to all the categories of
personnel involved in these activities as also the farmers.
22. CONCLUSION
In view of the necessity of water resource for human and animal life, proper planning and management
of this scarce resource to its optimum, economical and equitable use by maintaining ecological balance
for the development of economic activities of all kind has become very important. The success of the
State Water Policy depends on its commitments to its underlying principles and objectives. The State
Government has declared the Department of Irrigation and Flood Control as nodal Department vide
Notification No. 82/Home/2004 dated 10/09/2004 and since then this Department has been in active
engagement in the development of water resources of the State.

3. The Governor of Sikkim is hereby further pleased to prescribe the following for the
purpose of implementation of the aforesaid reservation Quota namely:-
(1) If a reserved vacancy remains unfilled for want of a suitable reserved
community candidate, it is to be carried forward to subsequent recruitment years subject to the
condition that it does not become three recruitment years old which is maximum period for
carrying forward of reservations from year to year and thereafter it lapses . Therefore, in
order to save the lapsing of the reservation, the oldest carry forward reservation should be
accommodated first.
(2) Recruitment years means the year in which the recruitment of the post is
actually made.
(3) For carrying forward of reservations, the recruitment year shall be determined
as under namely:-
(a). Initial recruitment
(b). 1st recruitment
(c). 2nd recruitment
(d). 3rd recruitment
4. The Model 100 point roster system is like steps in a ladder. While notifying vacancies
the consecutive points in the roster should be taken into account without leaving any gap.
Fresh recruitment should start from the point next to the point at which previous recruitment
actually ended.
5. The roster system shall be applied in direct recruitment appointments in each category
of posts. For example, grouping of posts from LDC to UDC or JAC to Accountant or vice-
versa is not permissible.
6. Separate merit list on the basis of the written examination and/or interview shall be
prepared for each category of candidate for whom reservations are made. Appointment to the
post reserved shall be filled up by the candidates of the concerned category as per the merit
list.
7. With the implementation of the new reservation policy, the Roster Points for various
posts to be filled up by direct/fresh recruitment shall start from the Point No. 01 of the model
100 point Roster as per the annexure annexed herewith
8. Roster Points carried forward under the old system shall not be brought forward.
9. Citizen claiming the benefit of reservation should submit relevant certificate issued by
the authorized officer.
10. This supersedes earlier notification issued on this behalf.

NOTIFICATION
Order No. 3/4/ID/2009/SDR(Sikkim) dated 25st August,2009 of the Election

Commission of India Nirvachan Sadan, New Delhi is hereby re-published for
general information.
ORDER
1. Whereas, Section 61 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 provides that with
a view to preventing impersonation of electors, so as to make the right of genuine electors to
vote under section 62 of that Act more effective, provisions may be made by rules under that
Act for use of Identity Cards for electors as the means of establishing their identity at the
time of polling; and
2. Whereas, Rule 28 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, empowers the Election
Commission to direct, with a view to preventing impersonation of electors and facilitating
their identification at the time of poll, the issue of Electors Photo Identity Cards to electors
bearing their photographs at State cost; and
3. Whereas, Rules 49H (3) and 49K (2) (b) of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961,
stipulate that where the electors of a constituency have been supplied with Electors Photo
Identity Cards under the said provisions of Rule 28 of the Registration of Electors Rules,
1960, the electors shall produce their Electoral Identity Cards at the polling station and
failure or refusal on their part to produce those Electoral Identity Cards may result in the
denial of permission to vote; and
4. Whereas, a combined and harmonious reading of the aforesaid provisions of the said
Act and the Rules, makes it clear that although the right to vote arises by the existence of the
name in the electoral roll, it is also dependent upon the use of the Electors Photo Identity
Card, where provided by the Election Commission at State cost, and that both are to be used
together; and
5. Whereas, the Election Commission made an Order on the 28th August, 1993, directing
the issue of Electors Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) to all electors, according to a time bound
programme; and
6. Whereas, the Commission has taken note of the fact that over the last few years since
the implementation of the programme of issue of EPICs was taken up, the election machinery
of Sikkim, has issued these cards to a substantially high number of electors and made all
possible efforts, by way of repeated rounds of the constituencies and areas, with a view to
issuing cards to the left-out electors; and
7. Whereas, electoral rolls containing photographs of the electors have been prepared
and issued in Sikkim; and
8. Whereas, at the general election to the Legislative Assembly of Haryana held in

January – March, 2000, and at all general and bye-elections held since then, the Commission
had directed that all electors who were issued with EPICs should produce those cards to
exercise their franchise at the said elections, and that it would permit the odd electors who
have not obtained their EPICs to vote at the said elections, provided their identity is
otherwise established by production of one of the alternative documents prescribed by the
Commission; and
9. Now, therefore, after taking into account all relevant factors and the legal and
factual position, the Election Commission hereby directs that all electors in 11-
Namchi Singithong Assembly Constituency in Sikkim, for the bye-election notified on
17th August, 2009, shall produce their EPICs for establishing their identity before casting
their votes. If any elector fails to produce his/her EPIC, such elector shall have to produce
any of the following alternative photo documents for establishing his/her identity.
(i) Passports,

(iv) Service Identity Cards having photograph, issued to its employees by
