* **Procedures:** The notification outlines a procedure for landowners to object to the acquisition. The procedure requires that the objection be in writing and submitted to Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The expected outcomes and impact of this policy are:
* Acquisition of RoU in the specified land parcels, enabling the construction of the Guwahati Numaligarh Dimapur Section of the North East Natural Gas Pipeline Grid Project.
* Increased availability and transportation of natural gas in the region, potentially leading to economic and social benefits.
* Potential displacement or disruption for landowners whose land is subject to RoU acquisition.
**9. Conclusion:**
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas notification signals the government's commitment to developing natural gas infrastructure in the North East region. The acquisition of RoU for the Guwahati Numaligarh Dimapur pipeline section is a crucial step in this process.
