ADS Letter

Remarks

Date of ADS

EAC after detailed deliberation during its 243^rd meeting held during 28^th – 29^th September, 2020, observed that the EIA report is inadequate in various aspects like the ecology of the area, the portion of the unconnected section of road, survey of alignment etc. The committee thus deferred the proposal for want of following information

1. A detailed study of flora and fauna along the proposed alignment to be done by reputed institute like WII or SACON or Zoological Survey of India or other such nationally reputed institutes

2. Details about impact of road construction on landslides, natural streams, vegetation needs to be studied.

3. Details on the impact on hydrology of the area to be undertaken by reputed institute.
