**4. Background and Rationale:**
This new policy addresses the need for land acquisition to facilitate infrastructure development, specifically the improvement of National Highway 49. The text suggests that the existing infrastructure is inadequate, necessitating widening and improvements to enhance transportation efficiency and safety along the specified stretch of the highway. The project spans from Km. 427.35 to Km. 468 in the district of Deogarh in the state of ODISHA.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**

* **Competent Authority:** The Tahasildar is designated as the Competent Authority to receive and address objections.
* **Objection Requirements:** Objections must be made in writing to the Competent Authority, stating the grounds for the objection.
* **Hearing Opportunity:** The Competent Authority shall provide the objector an opportunity to be heard, either in person or by a legal practitioner.
* **Final Order:** The Competent Authority will either allow or disallow the objections after due consideration and enquiry. The order made by the Competent Authority shall be final.

* **Details of land acquired:** The schedule outlines the list of land with their survey number, type of land, nature of land and area (in local units and hectare).
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders are:
* Landowners and individuals with an interest in the land located along the specified stretch of NH49.
* Residents of the affected villages: Bahadapasi, Balam, Balita, Kala, Kandhal, Markandpur, Panchamahala and Saida.
* The Competent Authority (Tahasildar).
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**

* **Timelines/Procedures:** Affected parties have 21 days from the publication date of the notification to file objections. The Competent Authority is responsible for hearing objections and issuing a final order.
* The Gazette of India publishes the notification
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
