Justification for locating the Project in forest area

Initially the land coming in the alignment was Khatedari land as per

revenue record but during construction forest authorities objected and

claimed that the land belongs to forest.

The matter was brought into the notice of State Government & a joint

inspection was done by forest and revenue officers then it has been

concluded that 1300 Sqm Ownership of land belongs to forest; accordingly

proposal of forest land diversion is being submitted to take the NOC from

forest department.

Detailed note on the project including number of villages and persons

to be benefitted including employment generation:

As per the Railway policy, the works of ROB/RUB’s in lieu of busy level

crossing having Train Vehicle Unit (TVU) more than 1.0 lakh are

undertaken on cost sharing basis; proposal for which are sponsored by

concerned State Government, duly fulfilling certain preliminary pre-

requisite viz. undertaking to bear 50% share of cost, provide land for

approaches and ensure closure of level crossing on completion of ROB/RUB

with action required for road diversion etc. Railway share 50% cost of two

lanes ROB/RUB for the level crossings where TVU is > 1.0 lakh and < 3.0

lakh. Railway share 50% cost of 4 lanes ROB for the level crossing having

TVU more than 3.0 lakhs.

As per the census of April 2010, TVU of LC34 was 136032 at Makrana. So,

Railway Board has approved LC34, Makrana for construction of 2 lanes

ROB in his pink book 2011-12 for his cost sharing. So State and Railway has

shared 50-50% cost in construction of ROB. Both Railway and State has

deputedIRCON as a Construction agency, so that work of ROB may

completed by the single agency.

GAD was approved by CBE/NWR Jaipur and as per the alignment shown in

GAD; 0.13 hectare forest land comes under the construction of ROB.

Without the use of forest land, it is not possible to construct ROB at LC34

Makrana.

Around 25000 Man days have been created as employment generation.

In addition to this, employment has been generated indirectly for suppliers

of steel and aggregates which in turn creates employment opportunities for

staff at Crusher plant, steel plant etc.

Ultimate policy of Railways is to close all the LC’s in a phased manner.

Cost Benefit Analysis Report:

Total contract value Rs 2648.84 lakhs or

Average Daily Traffic =5668

The benefits for above cost are as follows:

1. POL (Fuel & Lubricant) saving:

Considering 0.05 litre of fuel consumption for each traffic per day, so total

fuel consumption per day as average daily traffic=5668 comes as 5668 x

0.05 = 283.4 litres per day.

Considering cost of 1 litre fuel (diesel/petrol) = Rs.65/-, total amount =

283.4 x 65 = 18421 per day

So Amount incurred in 1 year= 18421 x 365 = Rs. 67, 23,665/-

Assuming life of ROB =80 Years & price escalation @ 5% per year, the total

amount incurred in 80 years will come as Rs. 6530217233/- i.e. Say Rs.653

Crores.

Hence, Rs. 653 crores can be saved on account of POL after construction of

ROB.
