I have inspected the proposed site for Diversion of 9.28 Ha. forest land for construction of Tumkur Branch Canal in Udugere Reserve Forest of Kadur Range, Udugere Sy. No.117 and Honnenahalli Sy. No.118. This area is having Tropical Thorn Forests and Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests and list of trees to be cut are submitted separately. Considering the importance of the project for the general public for drinking water supply and filling of water tanks, the proposal is recommended for appropriate consideration. However, the User Agency must be asked to take up mitigative measures in order to facilitate proper management of forests and flora & fauna in the area. This area is required by the User Agency for implementation of the project.
