* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is the primary responsible agency. The Sub-Divisional Officer/Land Acquisition Officer, Nanded, is responsible for handling objections and land acquisition processes.
* **Timelines and Procedures:** The notification specifies a 21-day period for landowners to file objections after the date of publication. The competent authority must provide an opportunity for objectors to be heard. The text does not provide a complete timeline for the overall land acquisition process beyond the objection period.
* **Land Plans:** Land plans and other details of the land covered under this notification are available and can be inspected by the interested person at the office of the competent authority.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
