The Kolar Gold Field Experiment

Proton Stability Experiment

The KGF experiments, which were sponsored by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), were carried out in two phases. The first phase experiments, during the 1960s-70s, studied cosmic ray neutrino interactions and the second, during the 1980s, studied proton decay and set limits on proton’s lifetime. The unusual events, which were detected in a long tunnel at a depth of 2.3 km, were seen during both the phases.

While, in principle, such events could be produced by cosmic ray neutrinos (or antineutrinos) interacting with air molecules in the gap between the rock wall and the detectors, the large number seen could not be explained by known processes. Standard processes due to neutrinos or muons would only produce such events with a probability of less than one in 100 years. Here one was seeing eight such events (5 in the first phase and 3 in the second) in about as many years.

Instead of the early interpretation of cosmic ray neutrinos interacting with the surrounding rock and producing a massive particle which subsequently decayed to give rise to these anomalous events, the authors interpret the events to have been caused by the decay of a neutral DM particle with a mass of about 5-10 GeV and with a lifetime of the order of the lifetime of the universe (about 10 10 years or 10 billion years).

The CDMSII experiment recently observed three events, which have been interpreted to be due to a DM particle with a mass of 8.2 GeV. This falls within the range that the IMSc scientists require for their interpretation. It may, however, be pointed out that the jury on this claim is still out as another DM search experiment LUX has not seen any evidence so far.

Arguing that not much attention has been paid to decaying DM particles, they choose a model that has both stable and unstable DM particles.

This gives them a DM particle lifetime of 10 10 years as against the generally accepted value of greater than 10 11 years. Using an appropriate detection volume of 10 10 cm 3 (from the known dimensions of the tunnel) and a DM density of 1 particle/cm 3, they get a value for the rate of events that matches with the rate observed at Kolar.

Robertsonpet City Municipal Council

K.G.F Sanitary Board (Mining Towns) At the establishing of a flourishing Goldmining industry in K.G.F there was a demand for a huge work force. Large influx and migration from the neighbouring Madras Presidency and few from Andhra poured in and the population was steadily swelling up. This included some of the trading communities of the nearby villages who settled at the new mining town that was just coming up. The first census in K.G.F was conducted in 1891 and the area was officially recorded as a Town. Realising the need for a self-governance and administration, the Mysore government on 16-11-1899 constituted the K.G.F Sanitary Board. In 1901, K.G.F was first recognized as a City for census purposes in view of its high concentration of population. The basic responsibility of this board was maintaining sanitation in and around mining town. Bacteria, Viruses and Mosquitoes from the  surrounding un-hygiene villages, unaware of the limitations of the mining boundaries entered freely the European controlled town to have feast over multi-ethnic blood and created all kinds of epidemic diseases. The mining authorities were forced to lend their tentacles into these villages for controlling the dreaded diseases. Shops were de-licensed if the workers working there happened to be unhealthy. K.G.F Sanitary Board was acting like a District Board, but was independent of the local funds board of the district. Its powers were regulated by the provisions of the Mines Regulations Act 1906. Sanitary Board derived its revenue from taxes on private buildings, fees collected for issuing licenses to shops located in mining areas and fees levied on issuance of birth and death certificates to residents in mining areas. Jurisdiction: Oorgaumpet, Swarnakuppam, part of IV block, Krishnagiri line, Pandaram line, Masikam A.B block, Frank & co. Balaganahalli, Gonimakanahalli, Roger’s Camp etc. were called coolie colonies outside mining areas. Good number of mining coolies particularly contracted workers lived in these colonies and the board had its jurisdiction over these places also. In 1901 the total area under Sanitary Board was 38.54 sq.kms and in 1916 it was increased to 77.70 sq. kms due to the inclusion of 80 Revenue villages of Bowringpet taluk under it. Due to the formation of the City Municipality and exclusion of Robertsonpet and other non-mining towns in 1964, the area under it was reduced to 52.78 sq.kms. In 1981, it was further reduced to 36.98 sq. kms due to the separation of B.E.M.L Nagar. Constitution: The Board of the Mining-companies operating on the field had a predominant representation in the Sanitary Board. In 1929, the board had 18 members, of whom 11 were non-officials and the rest were nominated by the government. Later, its strength was increased to 26 of which 19 were nominated and the rest were elected representatives. The Deputy Commissioner of Kolar district was its president who was assisted by the Asst. Commissioner, Kolar sub-division as Vice-president. This arrangement continued till 1958 when it was again re-constituted comprising 15 officials and non-officials of whom one non-official member was vice-president. The District Health Officer was later made a nominated member. In 1966, the board was again re-constituted with the Deputy Commissioner as President, the Asst. Commissioner Kolar division as Vice-president and Administrative officer. The Secretary-Central Administration Kolar Gold Mining Under-taking (K.G.M.U) the Chief Medical Officer, Chief Sanitary Officer of K.G.F Hospital and Executive Engineer PWD Kolar division were its members. The Sanitary Board area had no territorial divisions, since there was no elected body to it to look after its affairs. But for convenience, it was divided into administrative areas like Mysore mine, Champion reef mine and Nundydroog mine. K.G.F Sanitary Board attended to the needs of the citizens like street lights on main roads in mining areas, granting of licenses to shops etc. All the other day-today affairs were looked after by a second division clerk in this office. Formerly, the Sanitary Board office building was situated opposite the present Sub-jail Champion reefs and was later shifted to Robertsonpet. The road on which this office was located was named the Health Office road. The Town Administration Department (T.A.D) of Bharat Gold Mines Ltd. later took over the affairs of Sanitary Board and the roles of the board was thus reduced to only maintenance of sanitation in mining areas which was its primary responsibility. Robertsonpet City Municipality: The city is growing east-ward due to the existence of mining towns on the west which is a restricted area. As the population exceeded one lakh and twenty thousands in this area, there was a demand for converting the Sanitary Board into a Municipality. The state government, after a careful consideration of all the aspects decided to constitute a separate Town Municipality for the areas not covered by the mining administration. Thus the Robertsonpet Municipality was formed. For purpose of constituting this municipality, the government passed ‘The Robertsonpet Municipality Act 1964’ (formation and miscellaneous provisions). Under this law, the boundaries of municipal areas were fixed, so as to include Robertsonpet town, Andersonpet town, Oorgaum village, Pottepalli, Nachakapalli, Gonimakanahalli and Gangadoddi. The Municipality was constituted on 1-11-1964. An administrator was appointed to manage the affairs of this municipality until the formation of a council. This administrator was of the rank of a Sr.Asst. Commissioner. The first election to the Council was held in June 1968; the councillors elected the President and Vice President. Robertsonpet Municipality was declared a City Municipality in 1983. The Municipal Administration headed by an administrator has a Revenue Officer, a Public Work Supervisor, one Senior Health Inspector, one Junior Health Inspector, two Vaccinators, one basic health visitor, three Octroi Inspectors, three part time Midwives and necessary ministerial and other staff.
