COMMENTS M CHIEF WILDLIFE WARI) EN MIZORAM

The ongoing project proposal of NHIDCL for NH-54 Widening to 2-Lane with geometrical improvement to be funded under JICA for the stretch from 8 km to 380 km runs through the five districts viz. Aizawl, , , Lawngtlai and Siaha Districts of Mizoram.

The Package-I i.e the portion within Aizawl and Serchhip Districts passes through the western side of Tawi Wildlife Sanctuary which will not be having any detrimental effect on the said Protected Area.

Similarly the Package-Il stretch will also pass through the westem side of Khawnglung WLS near Pangzawl - Rawpui village, which will also cause no detrimental effect to the wild animal and habitats of this said PA.

The Ngengpui WLS of Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) is situated on the far western side of Lawngtlai township. That this current project at Package-Ill is expected not to have any direct impact on this said PA. The last stretch of Package-Ill passing through the Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC) runs on the far eastern side of Tokalo WLS of MADC. That the wild animals and their habitat or wildlife of this Tokalo WLS of MADC will not directly nor negatively be affected by this last stretch of Package-Ill of this project.

Thus, the undersigned hereby issue this comment note indicating that the proposed project for widening NH-54 with geometrical improvement of the same will not have any negative impact on the above a (four) PAs as can be verified on ground.
