CF
Recommended
While observing the recommendation made by the DFO/DCF Kamjong Forest Division to be self contained, the need to have the existing road widened becomes important as it is going to be the lifeline of people inhabiting remote areas of the State bordering Myanmar. The project involved barest minimum tree felling and no significant adverse impact on the existing eco system is anticipated. Hence, the proposal is recommended for clearance under section 2 of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980.
