The widgning of existing NH-l02A is to be undertaken on the adjoining land ofexisting NH-l02A as alternative alignment options are not feasible in the project. The adjoining area along the road for the entire stretch has been considered as unolassified forest land. Thus the project will be implemented in this forest land. The road being in hilly terrain, options for alternate routes are very limited. However to avoid sharp turns some realignments have been proposed. Existing alignment has been followed to reduce negative impact to social and environment. .
