The FRs of MSTG link and FS link are circulated during the year 2020-21, but FRs of Sarda-Yamuna Link and Ghaghara-Yamuna Link have not been circulated yet as the work in Nepal area is not completed. The Feasibility Report of Sarda-Yamuna link is under modification based on DPR of Pancheshwar dam in Nepal.

Feasibility Reports under modification

Kosi-Ghaghra link
Chunar -Sone barrage link.

S & I works for preparation of FR of Sone Dam-Southern Tributaries of Ganga (STG) link using Remote Sensing maps have been completed and the preparation of FR is in progress.

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. However, the PFR of Forest free alignment of Jogighopa-Tista-Farakka link has been completed and circulated to the members of TAC of NWDA and concerned State Govts. of Bihar, Assam and West Bengal on 13.06.2011.
