* **Land Details Availability:** Land plans and details are available for inspection at the Competent Authority's office.
* **Schedule:** The schedule provides a brief description of the land to be acquired, including survey numbers, land type, and area (in local units and hectares) for specific villages (Bukkaraya Samudram and Govindapalle) within Anantapuramu district.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The directly affected target audience and stakeholders are:
* Landowners whose property falls within the designated stretch of National Highway No. 544D (Km.0000 to Km.5400) in Anantapuramu district, Andhra Pradesh. This includes owners of land in Bukkaraya Samudram and Govindapalle villages with the specific survey plot numbers listed in the schedule.
* Residents and businesses dependent on the land.
* The Competent Authority (Joint Collector, Anantapuramu).
* Legal practitioners representing objectors.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:**
* Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (issuing the notification).
* Competent Authority: Joint Collector, Anantapuramu (handling objections and land acquisition process).
* **Timelines/Procedures:**
* 21-day period for landowners to file objections from the date of publication of the notification.
* The Competent Authority will conduct hearings and make decisions on the objections.
* The National Highways Act, 1956 is the guiding legislation.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcomes of this policy are:
* Smooth land acquisition process for the National Highway No. 544D project.
* Upgrading of the highway infrastructure through building, widening (four-laning), maintenance, and management.
* Improved transportation efficiency and connectivity in the region.
