As per report 5990 trees are to be cut which is
wrong. AS per our survey about 35652 trees will
De cut. Trees are big and about 25 year's period
is required for growth of such big trees. In this
report mention was not made for such trees.
The figures mentioned in traffic survey report
xre also wrong, minimum traffic was mentioned
in the report, and then what is the need for this
Four lane road?
Due to this project fertile land of many
farmers will be lose, agriculture production will
De less and against that population is increasing.
This may disturb environmental balance.
Due to 60 meter wide road damage will cause

was made for rehabilitation in the report.
In the Project area reserve forest, national
parks and wet land are there. In the EIA Report
