**3. Policy Overview:**
This is a *new policy* related to specific land acquisition for a national highway project.

**4. Background and Rationale:**
* **New Policy:** The notification suggests a need for land acquisition to facilitate infrastructure development related to NH139W.

* It establishes a process for landowners to object to the acquisition within 21 days of the notification's publication.
* It designates the District Land Acquisition Officer, Saran, as the Competent Authority to receive and address objections.
* It specifies that the Competent Authority shall provide objectors with an opportunity to be heard and will make a final order either allowing or disallowing the objections.

**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* The intended outcome is the successful acquisition of the specified land parcels to facilitate the building, widening, maintenance, management and operation of NH139W.
