The proposed bits of land do not pass through Wildlife Sanctuary, National Park, Elephant Corridor, Tiger Reserve or Biosphere Reserve. During my inspection, it is found that the requirement of forest land as proposed by the user agency is the barest minimum required for the project and is necessary for the purpose applied for. The ecological impact caused due to diversion is negligible as the proposed land lies adjacent to the already existing road and the minimum land is proposed. Under the above circumstances, the proposal for diversion is recommended for acceptance.
