* **Competent Authority:** It designates the Sub-Divisional Officer, Rajapur, as the Competent Authority to receive and review objections.
* **Hearing and Enquiry:** The Competent Authority is required to provide objectors with an opportunity to be heard, either in person or through a legal practitioner, and to conduct further enquiries as deemed necessary before making a decision.
* **Finality of Order:** The notification states that the Competent Authority's order on the objections is final.
* **Land Details:** It specifies that land plans and other details are available for inspection at the Competent Authority's office.
* **Schedule of Land:** The schedule provides a brief description of the land to be acquired, including survey/plot numbers, type of land, nature of land, and area. Specific plots in Taralewadi village are listed with their areas in hectares.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**

* Residents and businesses located along the affected stretch of NH66.
* The local community in Rajapur, Ratnagiri.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is the primary responsible agency. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Rajapur, acts as the Competent Authority for handling objections and related procedures.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** Landowners have 21 days from the date of the notification's publication (December 3, 2021) to file objections. The Competent Authority must then hear the objections and make a decision.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
Since this is a new policy action, the likely intended outcomes are:
* Successful acquisition of land for the intended infrastructure improvements along NH66.
* Reduced congestion and improved traffic flow along the specified stretch of NH66.
* Enhanced connectivity and economic development in the region.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification outlines the government's intention to acquire land for improvements to NH66. The notification details the affected land, the process for objections, and responsible authorities.
