Key findings include the identification of specific land parcels, their owners, and the areas to be acquired within the stretch of NH23 from Km. 211.200 to Km. 313.800.
**2. Introduction:**
The purpose of this report is to provide an informative overview of a notification concerning land acquisition for the development of National Highway 23 in Odisha, based solely on the provided policy text published in the Gazette of India. This report aims to detail the policy's objective, rationale, key provisions, affected stakeholders, implementation aspects, and expected outcomes as discernible from the text.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* **Core Objective(s):** Based on the provided text, the core objective of this notification is to formally declare the acquisition of specified land parcels for the building, widening, four-laning, maintenance, management, and operation of NH23 on the stretch of land from Km. 211.200 to Km. 313.800 in the district of SUNDARGARH in the state of ODISHA. This declaration follows the process outlined in the National Highways Act, 1956.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
* **New Policy:** The policy addresses the need to acquire land for the improvement and expansion of National Highway 23. The text indicates that the government intends to enhance the highway through building, widening, four-laning, maintenance, management and operation. This suggests a need to improve connectivity, potentially reduce traffic congestion, and facilitate smoother transportation along this section of the highway. The legal framework for this acquisition is the National Highways Act, 1956. The policy text states that the government had the intention to acquire the land, published that intention, considered objections, and is now proceeding with the formal acquisition.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
* **New Policy:** This notification details the formal declaration of land acquisition under Section 3D(1) of the National Highways Act, 1956. The key provisions outlined in the text include:
* **Declaration of Acquisition:** The Central Government declares that the land specified in the schedule annexed to the notification shall be acquired.
* **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, as per Section 3D(2) of the Act.
* **Schedule of Land:** The notification includes a schedule detailing specific land parcels to be acquired. This includes:
* State and District: ODISHA, SUNDARGARH
* Details for each parcel: Taluk, Village, Survey Number, Type of Land, Nature of Land, Area in Hectares, Name of the Land Owner/Interested Person.
* Specific survey numbers and areas are listed, along with landowner information.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**

* The State Government of Odisha.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is the responsible agency. The "Competent Authority" under the National Highways Act, 1956, also plays a crucial role in submitting reports to the Central Government. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is likely involved in the implementation, as indicated by "F. No. NHAI11013PIUSambalpurOdishaNH23Notif.3a3D".
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The text specifies that the land vests in the Central Government upon publication of the notification in the Official Gazette. This implies an immediate transfer of ownership upon publication. The fact that objections were received and disallowed indicates a process of public consultation and consideration.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* **New Policy:** The intended outcomes of this land acquisition are directly related to the improvement of National Highway 23. Based on the text, the expected outcomes include:
* Improved road infrastructure through building, widening, four-laning.
* Enhanced connectivity and transportation efficiency along the Biramitrapur-Barkote section of NH23.
* Potential economic development due to improved transportation infrastructure.
* Facilitation of smoother traffic flow.
