1. Construction of the road along the pipeline route will provide access to the local people inside the ravines. This will intensify already existing biotic pressure within the sanctuary. Firewood collection and grazing by goats are among the more prominent factors which would resultantly increase the biotic pressure.

2. Access to the ravines will increase illegal cultivation along the bank and the ravines. This will have a serious constraint on utilization of wetland and shore habitats by migratory water fowl and other aquatic species of the wetland community.
