The project area outside the sanctuary comes under the Eco sensitive zone of Badrama Wildlife Sanctuary. Easy accessibility to these areas because of upgradation of the road may pose high biotic pressure on the wildlife and their habitat in this area.Hence efforts should be taken to minimize /nullify these disturbances. The proposal should be considered for approval only after getting wildlife clearance from proper quarter.
