* The notification includes a schedule detailing the specific land parcels affected, including the village name (Kabirpur, Sherpur Afzalpur, Bahadurpur), Khasara number, and area (Hectare, Are, Sq. mtr.) for each parcel. The schedule specifies the Tehsil (Sirsaganj), District (Firozabad), and State (Uttar Pradesh).
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The directly affected stakeholders are:
* Landowners in the villages of Kabirpur, Sherpur Afzalpur, and Bahadurpur within the Tehsil of Sirsaganj, District Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, as their land is subject to the right of user acquisition.
* Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), as the entity responsible for laying the pipeline.
* The General Public, who will benefit from improved petroleum product transportation.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible agency/bodies:** Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (issuing the notification), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Pipelines Division (implementing the project and acting as the Competent Authority).
* **Timelines/procedures:** Landowners have 21 days from the date the notification is made available to the public to submit objections. The Central Government initiates the acquisition process.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* **New Policy:** The intended outcomes include:
* Acquisition of the necessary land rights for the pipeline.
* Construction of the petroleum product pipeline between Tundla and Kanpur.
* Improved and more efficient transportation of petroleum products.
* Potential economic benefits associated with improved infrastructure.
**9. Conclusion:**
The Notification S.O. 2624(E) signifies the commencement of a land acquisition process necessary for the construction of a petroleum product pipeline by IOCL. This project aims to enhance the transportation infrastructure for petroleum products between Tundla and Kanpur. Affected landowners should be aware of their right to object within the stipulated timeframe. This policy is significant as it enables critical infrastructure development for the energy sector, potentially leading to economic and logistical improvements.
