DFO
Recommended
The district has acute shortages of power supply and the proposal for diversion of forest being in the form of narrow strip, which is unavoidable and to the barest minimum, is believed to have permissible impact to the forests. As such, the proposed construction of 132 KV transmission is recommended.
