Road Construction to restart in Anshi National Park:What will be the impact on Wild animals?

Road construction from Anshi-Kumbarwada (19 kms)which was stopped due to Environmental Issues is restarted.Since the road passes through the Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve,the project was initially dropped by KSHIP because Supreme Court of India had give stay not to take construction as it may cause disturbance to the wild animals.But however afterwards there were many protests done by local people and forced local MLA and other representatives to improve the road condition.As a result of this construction in-charge has been transferred from KSHIP to PWD.As per the sources the construction will start within a week.

                      But however Environmentalists and forest department officials are not happy with this.Since Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve is a home for endangered wild species which are left in a few number.By this road construction vehicular movements will increase causing disturbance to wild animals.There are also chances of death of wild animals while crossing the road.
