Abstracts: MEGA is proposing to construct a overhead metro rail in order to meet the traffic demand of the region. The Company acquired approximately 69.89 ha of land neighboring the organized industrial district of Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad. This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to provide information on the potential negative and positive environmental and social impacts of the project. It also aims to make recommendations for the mitigation of the potential negative impacts and enhancement of the positive ones. A field survey of the project site was conducted and potential environmental impacts of project activities were identified, assessed, and documented. The EIA Team carried out consultations with various stakeholders, particularly lead agencies, local authorities and the affected people.
