Subsequently, the Forest Department gave up the objection when it was allotted alternate land.

Again, the petitioners and villagers made representation to the authorities for resuming the construction, but it met no response. They pointed out that in the absence of a kutcha or metalled road, women and old persons were not able to avail medical facilities in Limbadiya village, eight kms away.

Also, schoolchildren from Class V onwards had to drop their studies, as they could not walk on foot to attend the nearest school in Limbadiya. They said that even the teachers posted in primary schools of the eight villages could not come on time, particularly during rainy season, due to the absence of an approach road.

After the authorities continued to ignore the issue, the villagers finally moved the high court, seeking justice.
