.The construction of widening, strengthening, tarring and upgrading the existing Pune Shirur Ahmednagar Major State Highway No.05 four lane road into six lane PN 163 at village Koregaonbhima Tal Shirur District Pune. The Government of Maharashtra has planned to strengthening and widening the existing whole four lane road into six lane. The administrative approval and technical sanction to this road by Government of Maharashtra and sanction 233.10 crore amt for construction of this road. At the spot of village Koregaonbhima the four lane existing road passes through forest comptt No.303 Survey No.673,674 and 678. It is important to widen the existing road in forest land because whole road is widen from four lane to six lane. Hence only not to widen this forest area’s existing road is not feasible. This existing road is very old and it is shown on Forest Toposeet surveyed in the year 1890 as well as 1974 75 means this road is used from ancestral and more than 132 year and above. The above road is very important major state highway No.5. It is an important state highway from Pune district to Ahmednagar district. This road carries a large amount of light and heavy vehicles. In the course of time since 1890 the transportation rate over this road seems to be increasing gradually. In this regards the existing road widening of four lane into six lane has become the necessity as well as demand of the public. Therefore it is essential to receive the proposed forest land of village Koregaonbhima Tal Shirur 1.35 ha. for proposed widening the existing road four lane into six lane. The existing road width is 18.20m in 450m long distance in forest land before 1980. So we were requiring 11.80 m width area in 450 m long distance. Then it will become 30 m width in 450 m long distance. But instead of this we have demand the whole area of 30m width in 450m long distance of road. We are demanding forest area along with existing road’s area it becomes 450m x 30 m 13500 m.i.e.1.35 ha. In this regards new road widening, bituminous road 22m, both side shoulder 1.5m total 3 m, gutter extending 1.90m from both side total 3.80m. and median 1.20 m. It should be widen in 450m. long road which is very important and necessary. The required forest land for proposed road is 450 m x 30 13500 m i.e.0.1.35 ha. The road exists in forest land is ancestral and use on large scale therefore the question does not arise to examine other possible alternatives and it is not possible to avoid the forest land. The required forest area for this purpose is only 1.35 ha. along with existing road. The required land is reserved forest land. However, the prior permission of the Government of India, under the provision of the Forest Conservation Act 1980, is necessary & essential for carrying any non forestry work in such forest land. The demanded area is barest minimum and no trees are required to be felled.
