* **Competent Authority Decision:** The competent authority (District Land Acquisition Officer) will review the objections and issue an order either allowing or disallowing them. The decision of the competent authority is final.
* **Land Details Availability:** Land plans and other details are available for inspection at the office of the competent authority.
* **Land Description:** The schedule provides a brief description of the land to be acquired, including the name of the district, mouza, thana, plot numbers, and affected area in hectares and acres.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
Based on the provided text, the primary target audience and stakeholders are:
* Individuals who own land in the Aurangabad district of Bihar within the specified mouzas and plot numbers listed in the schedule.
* Individuals or entities that have an interest in the land slated for acquisition.

* **Timelines:** Affected parties have 30 days from the date of publication of the notification to raise objections.
* **Procedures:** The procedure involves the publication of the notification, submission of objections, review of objections by the competent authority, and a final order from the competent authority. Interested persons may inspect land records at the specified office.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The intended outcome of this policy is the acquisition of land necessary for the construction of the third railway line. Successful implementation will facilitate the railway project, contributing to improved transportation infrastructure. The policy's impact on landowners will depend on the acquisition process, including the handling of objections and the compensation provided for the acquired land.
**9. Conclusion:**
The government notification outlines the policy and procedures for land acquisition for the Sonnagar to Garhwa Road railway project in Aurangabad, Bihar. The key aspects include the declaration of intent to acquire land, the right of affected parties to raise objections, and the defined procedures for handling those objections.
