S & I works for preparation of FR of Sone Dam-Southern Tributaries of Ganga (STG) link using Remote Sensing maps have been completed. S&I work for preparation of FR of Kosi-Ghaghara link project has also been completed.

The Kosi-Mechi link which entirely lies in Nepal territory and the Jogighopa-Tista-Farakka link which is an alternate of MSTG link, are presently not targeted for preparation of FR.
