This is to certify that requirement of 18.60 hectare of forest land proposed in proposal number FP/KA/RAIL/142190/2021 is avoidable and cannot be recommended for construction of Rail Depot because total 17609 trees to be felled for the proposal which affects the flora, fauna and micro climate of the forest.

Recommended
As per the report of by Deputy Conservator of Forests, Bengaluru Rural Division, Devanahalli, all these trees belong to eucalyptus species. This Diversion of Forest land to the extent of 18.60 Ha. in Akkupete Reserve Forest area is barest minium and unavoidable and also required for the development of Greater Bengaluru Infrastructure. Hence I recommend this diversion proposal positively and it can be Diverted.
