Respected Sir, 

We already have Motichur flyover which is on the eastern side of Rajaji Tiger Reserve for entry into Dehradun and the Garhwal hills,  this huge amount of deforestation the why this is being planned on the western side of the reserve?

There can never be Compensatory tree plantation, an older a tree the more carbon sequeatering power it has.

This forest is old and is home to ICUN red listed species and schedule 1 fauna like the Asian Elephants, Monitor lizards, leopards, Tiger, horn bill, porcupines and many more 

Recent a study showed that Sal trees are not germinating even in the peak of monsoons because of climate change.

Our state is running out if ground water because of continuous deforestation. 

Respected Sir, a new alternative be found for the construction of the highway. 

This expressway will not only get Delhi closer to Dehradun but will make sure dehradun looks exactly like Delhi too. 

Since the air quality of  uttrakhand is worsening. We need forests now then ever. 

As chopping a large number of trees for saving few minutes will be a disaster for a life time.

Please we urge you to find an alternative and spare the homes of the beautiful almost extinct animals. 

Since every minute a species is going extinct in our world. Let's not be a part of this Tragedy. 

Respected Sir we don't want our heritage our forests to be chopped for our few minutes saving journey there are Real animals living there with their families. 

Hope an eco friendly alternative will be found for this project.
