The State Govt has taken a decision to construct Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway vide G R Dt 16/08/2016. No Sisco-cultural,Religious values have been affected in the project. Though the proposed alignment of Express Highway passes through some extent of forest area , some provisions likeWUO/PUP/VUP/WOP are proposed for the free movement of wildlife. The whole alignment of the Express Highway will be covered by chain link fence no chance for the accident of wildlife. Hence re- commanded for acceptance.
