Whenever diversion of protected or reserve forest land is required for realigning of road/rail/canal, permission would be granted subject to the condition that non-forest land saved on account of such realignment, would be declared as protected forest. The proposal from the State/Union Territory Government will have to be comprehensive indicating clearly the land asked for and saved on account of the proposed realignment of the road/ rail/canal.
