Considering the poor road connectivity especially during the rainy season because of lack of good motorable road, the proposed project will be a lifeline for villagers inhabiting in the area. The project involved minimum tree felling and no significant adverse impact on the existing eco system is anticipated. The proposed area is the barest minimum and for public utility. Therefore, the project is recommended for consideration. Hence, the proposal is recommended for clearance under Section 2 of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980.
