Ignoring these aspects, the State of Punjab has directly issued the impugned auction notices/tenders.
J. The scientific study conducted by the IIT, Ropar has disclosed that sand and bajri in Punjab rivers are largely non-
replenishing or replenish at rates far lower than volumes proposed for extraction by the State. The quantities permitted to be extracted in the impugned tender notices are grossly disproportionate to the natural replenishment capacity of the rivers which will alter river morphology by deepening riverbeds, disconnecting rivers from their floodplains, destabilising embankments and bridge foundations and disrupting natural groundwater recharge processes which will lead to increased flow velocity, aggravated downstream flooding and long-term ecological collapse of river systems in Punjab.
