Optical Fiber cable project are mainly to provide communication to less accessible areas with reliable and high speed media connectivity, which is very important in current days to provide information and technology. Proposed project is along the road, hence minimal disturbance of forest and breaking of land. However “The proposed project is passing through Buffer area of Bor Tiger Reserve. Hence apart from permission of NBWL is also required. Proposal is recommended for approval for diverting the required forest land under Forest Conservation Act, 1980.”
