While CIDCO authorities have begun construction of the Kharghar-Turbhe link road project, which involves drilling a tunnel through the Pandavkada hills, a Right To Information (RTI) has shown that information regarding the environmental impact assessment is not available with the state environment department for the R2100 crore project, a report stated in this paper.

Navi Mumbai-based NGO NatConnect Foundation sought information from the state environment and climate change department about the environmental impact assessment  (EIA) study, as the road is being built through the eco-sensitive Pandavkada hills, part of the Kharghar hills. An EIA report is mandatory in such cases. The official response posted on the RTI Maharashtra website stated that the information sought was unavailable.
