Umnyango wezamahlathi, ngokubambisana ne-Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, usungule umshini ophathwayo wokwenza ama-briquette ngezinaliti zephayini, okuwumthombo omkhulu wemililo yamahlathi esifundazweni. Izikhulu zamahlathi zixhumana nonjiniyela ukuze baqedele uhlelo.
Ngokusho kwe-Forest Research Institute (LINI), izihlahla zikaphayini zithatha u-26.07% wehlathi elingamakhilomitha-skwele angu-24,295. Kodwa-ke, iningi lezihlahla litholakala endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angaphezu kuka-1000 ngaphezu kolwandle, futhi izinga lokumboza lingu-95.49%. Ngokusho kwe-FRI, izihlahla zikaphayini ziyimbangela ehamba phambili yemililo yomhlabathi ngoba izinaliti ezilahliwe ezivuthayo zingavutha futhi zivimbele ukuvuselelwa.
Imizamo yangaphambilini yomnyango wezamahlathi yokusekela ukugawulwa kwemithi kwendawo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezinaliti zephayini ayizange iphumelele. Kodwa izikhulu azikalilahli ithemba.
"Sihlele ukuthuthukisa umshini ophathekayo ongakhiqiza ama-briquette. Uma i-IIT Roorkee iphumelela kulokhu, singawadlulisela kuma-van panchayats endawo. Lokhu, kuzosiza ngokubandakanya abantu bendawo ekuqoqweni kwezihlahla ze-coniferous. Basize bakhe indlela yokuphila," kusho uJai Raj, uMphathi Omkhulu Wezokugcinwa Kwamahlathi (PCCF), iNhloko Yehlathi (HoFF).
Kulo nyaka, amahektha angaphezu kuka-613 omhlaba wehlathi abhujiswe ngenxa yomlilo wehlathi, kanti kulinganiselwa ukuthi kulahlekelwe imali engenayo engaphezu kuka-Rs 10.57 lakh. Ngo-2017, umonakalo wawungamahektha angu-1245, kanti ngo-2016 - amahektha angu-4434.
Ama-briquette ayizitini zamalahle ezicindezelwe ezisetshenziswa esikhundleni sezinkuni. Imishini ye-briquette yendabuko mikhulu futhi idinga ukulungiswa njalo. Izikhulu zizama ukuthuthukisa uhlobo oluncane olungadingi ukubhekana nobunzima beglue nezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa.
Ukukhiqizwa kwezitini akukusha lapha. Ngo-1988-89, zimbalwa izinkampani ezathatha isinyathelo sokucubungula izinaliti zibe izitini, kodwa izindleko zokuhamba zenza ibhizinisi langabi nenzuzo. UNdunankulu u-TS Rawat, ngemuva kokuphatha umbuso, wamemezela ukuthi ngisho nokuqoqwa kwezinaliti kwakuyinkinga njengoba izinaliti zazilula ngesisindo futhi zingathengiswa endaweni ngentengo encane njenge-Re 1 ngekhilogramu. Izinkampani ziphinde zikhokhe i-Re 1 kuma-van panchayats afanele kanye ne-paise eyi-10 kuhulumeni njenge-royalty.
Phakathi neminyaka emithathu, lezi zinkampani zaphoqeleka ukuvala ngenxa yokulahlekelwa. Ngokusho kwezikhulu zamahlathi, izinkampani ezimbili zisaguqula izinaliti zibe yi-biogas, kodwa ngaphandle kwe-Almora, abathintekayo abazimele abakayikhulisanga imisebenzi yabo.
“Sixoxisana ne-IIT Roorkee ngalo msebenzi. Sikhathazekile ngokufanayo ngenkinga ebangelwa yizinaliti futhi ikhambi lingatholakala maduze,” kusho uKapil Joshi, umlondolozi omkhulu wamahlathi, i-Forest Training Institute (FTI), eHaldwani.
