The Lahaul and Spiti District Administration has urged the state and Union Government to do away with the process of receiving approval under the Forest conservation Act (FCA) for construction of the border roads.
The approval under the FCA is pending with the Ministry of Environment and Forest for widening of the strategically important Sumdo-Kaza-Gramphu road in the tribal district of Lahaul and Spiti.
The Union Government has entrusted the task of widening the Sumdo-Kaza-Gramphu road to the Border Roads Organisation. The survey has been completed by the BRO for the purpose.
