DivisionCircleRecommendation ByRecommendationReasonLetter Whether CF agreed
Bhadrak WLBhubaneswarDFO Recommended The proposed forest are is unavoidable and the barest minimum for the purpose of underground natural gas pipeline along with optical fibre cable.
DhenkanalAngulDFO RecommendedThe proposed Forest Area in respect of the Dhenkanal Forest Division for diversion i.e. 6.2582 Ha. will facilitate the supply of LPG Gas for which the fuelwood can be reduced along with transportation cost as well as control the air and noise pollution. Hence the project proposal recommended and forwarded.
City ForestsBhubaneswarDFO RecommendedRecommended that the diversion proposal in respect of 0.1890 ha of land may be accepted.
CuttackAngulDFO RecommendedThe proposal is recommended as gas pipe line project is a project of national importance. Secondly, it will reduce the dependency on forest for fuel wood. The air & noise pollution will be considerably reduced & the cost of transportation as well.
KhurdaBhubaneswarDFO RecommendedNon forest land ed for compensatory afforestation is not included in DLC report.According to this the legal status of the land overall area 0.1005 Ha. extended under revenue forest of Khordha forest division.
Rajnagar WLBhubaneswarDFO RecommendedAfter thoroughly studying the project report and observation made during site inspection the following points are considered for recommendation 01. The project involved 0.3662 Hectare of DLC forest land as recorded as forest as 25.10.1980. 02. The proposed forest area is unavoidable and the barest minimum of the purpose of underground natural gas pipeline along with optical fiber cable. The proposed land use plan for the said areas involved adequate safeguard measures for maintaining ecological stability. 03. The proposed diversion of forest land will not attract displacement of people. 04. The said proposal is therefore submitted for necessary approval under Sec 2 ii of FC Act, 1980 taking the aforesaid fact into consideration.
AngulCF RecommendedRecommended an area of Angul Circle 10.5854ha Division wise Area breakup Dhenkanal_6.2592ha and Cuttack_4.3262 haYes
BhubaneswarCF Recommendedpoint wise compliance reports on deficiencies raised by PCCF OdishaYes
