Local stakeholder consultation report: N/A
Impact assessment summary: N/A
Submission of comments to the DOE/AE Compilation of submitted inputs:
Public consultation was held in Jamnagar which is about 50 kms. far from the Lalpur which hinders the participants of the local villagers in the stake holders' meeting process. So, this stake holders consultation needs to be carried out again near the village. In the list of stakeholders the companies implementing project are also considered this is not true only local people are stake holders. 
Give the list of the activities which supports sustainable development of the villages in the surrounding of the area. 
The building of roads cannot be considered a sustainable development activity as the roads built to support the project is of no use to the local villagers as most of the projects are located in the areas where no villagers go for any work.
