Work activities have been delineated considering two major factors such as
requirement and objectives along with Plant characteristics to fit in the
requirement.
Highway requirement and objectives includes traffic frequency, available space,
type, water availability, climatic conditions and anthropogenic interference

Plant characteristics to fit in the site requirement would depend on height, can
cover, air pollution Tolerance Index and sociability of selected species of trees.

Besides developing greenbelt, the project will also assist in developing relev
research infrastructure that may be used for similar studies in future.
