The notification, published on August 3, 2021, declares the Central Government's intent to acquire specific land parcels for this purpose, following due process under the National Highway Act, 1956. This report focuses on the process, the land affected, and the implications for landowners based on the text of the notification.

**4. Background and Rationale:**
The policy addresses the need to improve the infrastructure of the identified stretch of NH752B. The stated intention of widening/four-laning suggests the existing road capacity is insufficient. The notification indicates that the project aims to improve connectivity and transportation efficiency within the region, addressing potential bottlenecks and facilitating smoother traffic flow.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**

* **Land Acquisition for Specific Purpose:** The purpose of the land acquisition is explicitly stated as Widening/Four Laning, etc., maintenance, management and operation of NH752B.
* **Geographic Scope:** The acquisition pertains to land from Km. 38700 to 42050 K.m. on the Biaora to MaksudangarhRoad MaksudangarhBypass Corrigendam in the state of MADHYA PRADESH.

* **Vesting of Land:** Upon publication of the notification in the Official Gazette, the land specified in the schedule shall vest absolutely in the Central Government, free from all encumbrances.
* **Land Details:** The schedule provides a brief description of the land to be acquired, including the survey number, type of land, area in hectares, and name of the land owner/interested person. For example, Survey No. 148328 in Maksudangarh is a private irrigated land of 0.009 hectare belonging to Unkar SO Khema Jati Bhil.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**

* Residents and businesses operating within the affected area.
