 SITE INSPECTION REPORT

Date of Inspection ………………..

A proposal has been received by this office from the Executive Engineer,
Dalhousie Division Dalhousie for Diversion of 0.2670 hact.of forest land for the
construction of Ambulance road from Patka to Panjla Km. 0/0 to 0/800 in Village Panjla
Tehsil Sihunta, Distt. Chamba (H.P.).

I have inspected both the Alternative i.e. Alternative-I and Alternative-II as

proposed by the user agency i.e. Executive Engineer, Dalhousie Division, HPPWD
Dalhousie, Distt. Chamba (H.P.) for Diversion of forest land for the construction of the
Ambulance road from Patka to Panjla Km. 0/0 to 0/800 in Village PanjlaTehsil Sihunta,
Distt. Chamba (H.P.).

Both the alignment of the proposed Ambulance road were inspected by me and it was
found that the proposed Ambulance road has to pass through the forest land and private land as
the villages to be connected through this Ambulance road are surrounded by the forest land the
proposed Ambulance road has to necessarily pass through the forest land.

The Detail of suitability of both the alternative is as under:

AlternativeA-1: The A-1 Alternative alignment for the construction of Ambulance road
has been examined but rejected for the reason that the alternative involves more forest
land felling larger number of trees.

AlternativeA-2: This is the shortest route from Ambulance road from Patka to Panjla
Km. 0/0 to 0/800. In this alignment, forest land involved is less as well as felling of tree is also
lesser.

Hence the alternative alignment A-II has been selected.
