**2. Introduction:**

**4. Background and Rationale:**

The text indicates this improvement includes widening and the creation of bypasses, suggesting a need to increase capacity and efficiency of the highway.

* It establishes a process for individuals with an interest in the land to object to the acquisition within twenty-one days of the notification's publication in the Official Gazette.
* It designates the Deputy Collector Land Acquisition No. 16 Satara as the Competent Authority to receive and process objections.
* The Competent Authority is required to provide objectors an opportunity to be heard (in person or by a legal practitioner) before deciding whether to allow or disallow the objections.
* The decision of the Competent Authority is final.
* Land plans and other details are available for inspection at the office of the Competent Authority.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**

* Individuals and entities owning land within the specified stretch of National Highway No. 965 (Km. 117 to Km. 176) in the district of Satara, Maharashtra.
* Residents of the villages of Pimpare Bk. and Sastewadi who may be impacted by the highway development.
* Local businesses and agricultural operations in the affected areas.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
