You can write client side script in UI Action to validate if those two fields are empty make it as mandatory. 

and popup alert to inform user to fill those two fields .

yes, i tried  below scenarios.

UI action : Request Approval 

g_form.setValue("state", "-3");
var start=g_from.getValue("start_date");
var end=g_form.getValue("end_date");
if(start!=""&&end!=""){
gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'state_model_request_cab_approval');
}else{
g_form.setMandatory('start_date');
}
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')
updateAndRedirect();

function updateAndRedirect() {
current.update();
action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

Business Rule: on Approval Table

var gr=new GlideRecord('change_request');
gr.addQuery('sys_id',current.sysapproval);
gr.addEncodedQuery('active=true^type=normal^start_dateISEMPTY^end_dateISEMPTY');
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){
gs.addInfoMessage(gs.getMessage("Please fill Planned Start Date/ End Date"));
current.setAbortAction(true);
}

above two things not working, state value moving forward and approval record was approved.

can you provide any inputs on this.

You have to return false in client side script if field is empty and update record only when two field are not empty
