It was also added that because of lesser interruption in traffic flow, resultant air pollution will also reduce. 3 Land rate has not been revised since Rules and Notification with regard to 2011 which otherwise ought to be revised the compensation will be followed. every three years. While quoting few of the cases of land transactions of an area as well as that of land acquisition by GIDC for development of Alindra GIDC; it was demanded that while fixing the compensation, market rate shall be considered and not the "Jantri" as market rate is higher. Also requested to consider the various judgement of Hon'ble High Court on the subject matter and also to

(xxix) If any court case, pending for violation of the environmental laws: No. (xxx) Revised CER considering 0.25 % of the total capital cost of the project works out to Rs. 32.0 crore. (xxxi) Alternative alignments have been considered during design stage. Keeping in view of having less/minor effect on environmental and social components, above mentioned alignment has been fixed and it seems more feasible as compared to the other two options. It also provides quicker alternative to traffic coming from Delhi, Haryana, & Madhya Pradesh and going towards Gujarat & Mumbai (Maharashtra). The proposed alignment has been designed considering the following major issues/parameters: • Environmental parameters • Avoiding of forest to the maximum possible extent. • Better connectivity. • Overall economic development of the areas. • Reduction in fuel consumption due to better geometrics and straight alignment leading to lesser pollution. • Minimum disturbance to the habitations area (xxxii)The Isopleth developed for PMio and PM25 along the road alignment where monitored values are highest in receptor villages. The maximum GLC due to excavation, loading & unloading activities for PMio and PM2 5 were found to be 3.7 fag/m3 and 2.2 fag/m3 respectively.
