The Project is undertaken by government of India MRVC is part of public infrastructure facility and essential for convenient, fast and safe travel. Hence this public infrastructure is of utmost need and the Un notified mangrove land involved is unavoidable due to the existing alignment of the railway line over non forest land. Hence, the proposal is recommended for acceptance. The NPV rate to be charged for the Un notified mangrove land is to be at the rate of Eco Class I. The Project Authority should bear the necessary amount for survey and demarcation, Artificial Bird nests, Watch Tower 1 Nos., Two storied Forest Check Post –1 Nos. and CCTV System for effective protection of balance forest area along with Proposed Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation project. No construction debris/remains should be dumped in mangrove area. Once the construction is over the RoW should be restored with mangroves. The proposal is being recommended for acceptance.
