1.NAThe project was considered by the EAC in its meeting held 28-29 January, 2016. The committee noted that the project proponent named in the Form-I is having the role of facilitator only, whereas the same bears the signature of the State Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Further, since the project is to be executed by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways through the concerned State Governments, the facilitator cannot be the implementing or the enforcing agency for all purposes of the compliance of the TOR/EC. The Committee desired for the said discrepancy to be resolved, and deferred the proposal. You are requested to submit the above to the Ministry for further consideration. 22 Feb 2016
