Additionally, 80% reported travel difficulties, and 78% acknowledged environmental degradation, including loss of greenery and fertile land. Health issues were noted by 64% of respondents, and 60% reported home loss due to the project. Despite these challenges, 54% recognize the need for highway development, although 72% remain dissatisfied with the overall process. The study emphasizes the importance of involving the community in planning and implementing robust measures to mitigate adverse impacts, highlighting the critical balance between infrastructure development and community well-being.
