10. •Clearence from forest department
The clearance from Forest Department for construction of the tunnel took considerable time
which delayed the project by approximately one year.
•Lack of fund
The most expensive part of project, Tunnel was given to Rohan Rajdeep Infra. , Pune on
DFBOT basis.
•Slum Clearence
A Housing project was initiated 6 kms away from the site, but very few dwellers took
compensation and all others were protesting. Finally govt. acquired the land by force.
•Shifting of temples and mazaars
Few protests happened, but the affected structures were related to both religions with
majority of there population.
