	VOLUME 2, TOPIC 9 SUMMARIES OF VOLUNTARY PAPERS REHABILITATION OF OPEN-CAST COAL MINES IN SINGRAULIREGION OF UTTAR PRADESH AND MADHYA PRADESH Shyam Lal1 Measures taken to rehabilitate the mined area are described. These measures have resulted in stabilizing the erodable coarse-grained soil type of sandstone origin which covered the coal seams. A diversity of quick-growing tree species and shrubs were planted and it is now proposed to plant species such as Dalbergia sissoo, Albizia lebbek and Tectona grandis along cleared strips. Prosopis juliflora will be maintained as a ground cover. 1 Chief Conservator of Forests, Western Zone, 30-Civil Lines Bareilly, U.P. India.

This ash is dumped in the area surrounding the stations and during the dry summer season, particularly, causes problems of air and water pollution. The study showed that leguminous tree species can be grown successfully on these ash dumps. Growth rate is comparable to that of other plantations raised in the area and the ash dumps are now well covered by vegetation. 1 Chief Conservator of Forests, Western Zone, 30-Civil Lines Bareilly, U.P., India.
