Umnyango wezamahlathi, ngokubambisana ne-Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, usungule umshini ophathwayo wokwenza amabrikhethi ngezinaliti zikaphayini, umthombo omkhulu wokusha kwehlathi esifundazweni.Izikhulu zezamahlathi zixhumana nonjiniyela ukuze ziphothule lolu hlelo.
Ngokusho kwe-Forest Research Institute (LINI), izihlahla zikaphayini zithatha u-26.07% wekhava yehlathi engu-24,295 sq. km.Nokho, izihlahla eziningi zitholakala endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angaphezu kuka-1000 ngaphezu kwezinga lolwandle, kanti izinga lokumboza lingama-95.49%.Ngokusho kwe-FRI, izihlahla zikaphayini ziyimbangela ehamba phambili yokusha komhlabathi ngoba izinaliti ezilahliwe ezivuthayo zingavutha futhi zivikele ukuvuselelwa.
Imizamo yangaphambilini yomnyango wezamahlathi yokweseka ukugawulwa kwemithi kwendawo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwenaliti kaphayini ayiphumelelanga.Kodwa namanje izikhulu azikalilahli ithemba.
“Sihlele ukwakha umshini ophathwayo okwazi ukukhiqiza ama-briquette.Uma i-IIT Rookee iphumelela kulokhu, singabadlulisela kuma-van panchayats endawo.Lokhu, kuzosiza ngokubandakanya abantu bendawo ekuqoqweni kwezihlahla ze-coniferous.Basize bakhe indlela yokuziphilisa.“Kusho uJai Raj, uPrincipal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF), Head of Forests (HoFF).
Kulo nyaka, ngaphezu kwamahektha angama-613 omhlaba wamahlathi acekeleke phansi ngenxa yokushiswa kwehlathi, ngokulahleka kwemali engenayo engaphezu kuka-Rs 10.57 lakh.Ngo-2017, umonakalo waba amahektha angu-1245, futhi ngo-2016 - amahektha angu-4434.
Ama-briquette angamabhulokhi acindezelwe amalahle asetshenziswa esikhundleni sezinkuni zokubasa.Imishini ye-briquette yendabuko mikhulu futhi idinga ukulungiswa njalo.Izikhulu zizama ukwenza inguqulo encane engadingi ukubhekana nenkinga yeglue nezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa.
Ukukhiqizwa kwe-briquette akukusha lapha.Ngo-1988-89, izinkampani ezimbalwa zathatha isinyathelo sokucubungula izinaliti zaba ama-briquette, kodwa izindleko zokuhamba zenza ibhizinisi lingenanzuzo.UNgqongqoshe Omkhulu u-TS Rawat, ngemuva kokuthatha izintambo zombuso, umemezele ukuthi ngisho nokuqoqwa kwezinaliti kuyinkinga njengoba izinaliti zinesisindo esincane futhi zingadayiswa endaweni ngenani elincane le-Re 1 ngekhilogremu.Izinkampani ziphinde zikhokhe u-Re 1 kuma-van panchayats afanele kanye nama-paise angu-10 kuhulumeni njengezasebukhosini.
Ingakapheli iminyaka emithathu, lezi zinkampani ziphoqeleke ukuthi zivalwe ngenxa yokulahlekelwa.Ngokusho kwezikhulu zamahlathi, izinkampani ezimbili zisaguqula izinaliti zibe yi-biogas, kodwa ngaphandle kwe-Almora, ababambiqhaza abazimele abazange bandise imisebenzi yabo.
“Sixoxisana ne-IIT Roorkee ngalo msebenzi.Sikhathazeke ngokufanayo ngenkinga ebangelwa izinaliti futhi isixazululo singatholakala maduze,” kusho uKapil Joshi, umlondolozi omkhulu wamahlathi, iForest Training Institute (FTI), Haldwani.
