**Impact**
Designated as the Competent Authority Land Acquisition (CALA), the RDO is legally responsible for managing the local acquisition process, hearing disputes, and finalizing the land status.
**Action Required**
The RDO must facilitate the inspection of land plans, receive written objections, conduct hearings, perform necessary inquiries, and pass final orders to allow or disallow objections as per the Railways Act.
