The development of the second phase of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Project between  Rewari and Dadri has brought in environmental consultancy services to look into the rehabilitation and restoration of the forests falling on the proposed project route as part of the Environmental Assessment Impact (EAI) report.

One consultancy would be hired in each district and samples of the plant species would be extracted from every area falling in the corridor line. A team of experts would visit each ecologically sensitive area.

K C Meena, conservator of forests, South Circle (Gurgaon), confirmed that environmental assessment had begun in consultation with the department.

Along with public consultation to know about the various aspects of forest studies

and information about uses of various plant species by villagers, local plant species which are important for maintaining the habitat around the stretch shall also be identified, said Meena.

These will improve ecology and the socio-economic status of the area, added Meena.

Digital photographs shall be taken by recording the data related to each photograph in terms of elevation and coordination of the corridor, said Meena.
