Not-Recommended
The proposal is not recommended as the proposed route for laying of road is a rocky and sloppy in nature and passing through the dense patch of forest with density >0.8. It requires removal of 280 Non-teak trees. Laying of this road may lead to disturbance to the local flora and fauna and there is a chance of forest area becoming vulnerable to erosion. The User agency is suggested to propose alternate route.
