Description about verification of location of sample plots is not consistent.
(i) On p.41 of VR, it is mentioned that "The provided documents /29/ /39/ confirm that there is cultivation all over the place including cutting of the natural belts, there was illegality of the trees as small logs were being cut and loaded on the vehicles, and some patrol man have supported the illegal cutting of the trees. Therefore it is demonstrated that the project area is routinely assessed."

It is not clear how and why is illegal cultivation, illegal cutting of trees and the patrol personnel supporting the illegal cutting can be taken as evidence that "the project area is routinely assessed."

(ii) On p.42 of VR, against entry of sample plot B3-12, it is mentioned that "The plot centre is moved because there were not trees in the original one. It is not mentioned of how many meters has been moved." Moving of plots is also mentioned in case of several other plots.

If a randomly located plot is shifted because at the randomly selected location there are no trees, then the inventory gets biased and hence invalidated. It is not clear how the DOE closed this CAR.

(iii) The plot IDs mentioned On p.15 and p.42 are different from the plot IDs mentioned on p.7.
