SCOPE & OBJECTIVES 2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL SCREENING STUDY AND APPLICATION TO E & S IA The Environmental & Social Screening report was prepared after thorough interaction with the engineering section of the consultants so that the negative impacts on the environment and human population could be avoided as far as possible. Some of the important findings of the study are as follows: - 1. There will be no loss of bio-diversity as no rare plant or animal species are going to be affected by the present project. 2. No Sanctuary or National Park is located within 10 km radius of the road. 3. No historical monuments are located within the ROW of highway. 4. The most important factors, which need continuous attention and assessment during the construction phase, are the ambient air quality, the water quality and the noise level. The ambient air quality of the study area is good. The quality of the ground water is good for drinking as well as other daily use purpose. 5. The proposed alignment of bridges would be such that it has minimum impact on physical and social environment. Approximately 158 numbers of trees may be cut down due to the proposed project. 2.2 SCOPE OF THE E & SIA STUDY The scopes of the EIA/EMP study are: - Identification of the potential environmental & social impacts. Developing mitigative measures to sustain and maintain the environmental & social scenario. Providing compensatory developments wherever necessary, including plans for highway side tree plantation. Designing and monitoring the Environmental Management Plan. Suggesting the Environmental Enhancement Scheme and its monitoring. Screening, scoping and consultations with public, experts in various fields, stakeholders , etc. 2.3 OBJECTIVES The objectives of the E & SIA include: Collection of baseline data on various components of the environment.

There are no jetties or berths, vessels moor at the riverbank and use gangways. Kalewa port is relatively busy with the transport of construction materials and functions as a hub between Monywa, Hommalin, Khamti, Kale, and Tamu. The Myitthar river between Kalewa and Kale is only accessible for 100 MT capacity boats during rainy season (Mid- June to Mid-Nov) as the maximum channel draft in the dry season is only 0.61m (2 ft). There is no port in Kale and boats moor at the riverbank and use gangways for loading and unloading. Since Kalewa and Kale is only 40 km apart and the road network is accessible all year round, general cargo is mainly transported by road from Kalewa to Kale, Tamu, and northern Chin State. The average draft of the channel from Kalewa to Khanti is 6m deep (20ft) in the wet season and in the dry season it significantly drops to 0.75m (2.5ft).

  • Myanmar Situation Update (10 to 16 May 2021)
    Myanmar Situation Update (10 to 16 May 2021) Summary: One hundred days after the coup, the junta has pushed the region’s fastest-growing economy into an economic and humanitarian disaster. The World Bank forecast shows that Myanmar's economy is expected to contract by 10% in 2021, a sharp difference from the previous prediction of 5.9% growth in October 2020. There is a possible banking crisis which leads to cash shortages, limited access to social welfare payments and international remittances. Last week, Myanmar Kyat hit one of its lowest compared to the USD. The World Food Program also estimates that up to 3.4 million more people, particularly those in urban areas, will face hunger during the next six months. Price rises, hurting the poor and causing shortages of some essentials, including the costs of fuel and medicine. The junta called to reopen colleges, universities and schools soon but many students and educators are boycotting. As a result, around 13,000 staff had been suspended by May 8. The junta also announced job vacancies for educational positions to replace striking staff. Across Myanmar, the ordinary citizens have taken up any weapons available from air guns to traditional firearms and homemade bombs and arms have spread in Chin state, Sagaing, Magwe and Mandalay regions. Mindat township in Chin State reported more intensified fights between the civil resistance groups and the Myanmar military while clashes were reported in Myingyan township, Mandalay region and Tamu township, Sagaing region. According to our information, at least 43 bomb blasts happened across Myanmar in the past week and many of them were in Yangon’s townships.
