The Project undertaken by government of India NHAI is part of public infrastructure facility and essential for convenient, fast and safe travel. Though the project involves violation but over the period of time this road has developed as the main connecting link of Mumbai to other regions of the state. Hence this public infrastructure is of utmost need and the forest land involved is unavoidable due to the existing alignment of the road over non forest land. Hence, the proposal is recommended for acceptance after due consideration of violation happened over the period of time and charging of Penal NPV. The NPV rate to be charged for the forest land is to be at the rate of Eco Class I. The Project Authority should bear the necessary amount for construction of Chainlink Fencing Length 7980 Mtr., Forester Quarter Type II – 1 Nos., Forest Guard Quarter Type I – 1 Nos., Watch Tower 2 Nos.,Patrolling Vehicle – 2 Nos., Forest Check Post – 1 Nos. and CCTV System for effective protection of balance forest area along with Proposed National Highways. Details of above Conditional work attached in Annexure I The proposal is being recommended for acceptance.
