Who is affected

These corrigendum notices affect landowners and stakeholders in four villages within the Aerotropolis Extension project area in District Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar:

1. Village Tangori — originally notified under Tehsil Mohali, now corrected to Tehsil Banur (140.055 acres, Notification No. H-U-H1/62/2026-6H1/421) 2. Village Khizargarh — originally notified under Tehsil Derabassi, now corrected to Tehsil Banur (31.25 acres, Notification No. H-U-H1/64/2026-6H1/437) 3. Village Kurda — originally notified under Tehsil Banur, now corrected to Tehsil Mohali (552.98 acres, Notification No. H-U-H1/61/2026-6H1/413) 4. Village Sekhan Majra — originally notified under Tehsil Banur, now corrected to Tehsil Mohali (100.2054 acres, Notification No. H-U-H1/60/2026-6H1/405)

The corrections apply to Social Impact Assessment Notifications issued under Section 4 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, originally dated 27.01.2026 and published in the Punjab Government Gazette on 27.02.2026.

According to the notices, during preparation of the revenue plan for identification of Khasra numbers proposed to be acquired, it was observed that the tehsil mentioned in the above-referred notification should be corrected as per the revenue records. The corrections ensure that the tehsil designation matches the actual revenue records for each village.

Background and context

These corrigendum notices are administrative corrections to earlier Social Impact Assessment Notifications for the Aerotropolis Extension project. The Aerotropolis Extension is a major land acquisition initiative by the Punjab government for development of urban infrastructure around the Chandigarh International Airport in SAS Nagar.

The original notifications were issued on 27.01.2026 under Section 4 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and published in the Punjab Government Gazette on 27.02.2026. Section 4 notifications mark the beginning of the formal land acquisition process and trigger the Social Impact Assessment study.

The errors corrected here are purely administrative — the villages were correctly identified, but their tehsil designations in the notification text did not match the revenue records. Such discrepancies can create confusion during the acquisition process, particularly when landowners submit objections or claims, as tehsil is a key administrative unit in Punjab's revenue system.

The document indicates that the errors were discovered "during the preparation of the revenue plan for identification of the Khasra numbers proposed to be acquired." Khasra numbers are plot identifiers in the revenue records, and accurate tehsil designation is essential for matching Khasra records to the correct administrative jurisdiction.

All four corrigendum notices were issued on 03.07.2026 by Vikas Garg, IAS, Principal Secretary, Government of Punjab, Department of Housing and Urban Development, from Chandigarh. The notices state that "the other provisions of the notification remains unchanged," meaning the corrections affect only the tehsil names — all other details of the original Section 4 notifications remain in force.

What you should do

If you are a landowner or stakeholder in any of the four affected villages, take the following steps:

1. Verify your village and tehsil designation — Check whether your land falls in Village Tangori, Khizargarh, Kurda, or Sekhan Majra. Confirm the corrected tehsil name (Banur or Mohali) against your revenue records.

2. Update your records — If you have copies of the original Section 4 notification dated 27.01.2026/27.02.2026, annotate them with the corrected tehsil name. The notification numbers to reference are: - Tangori: H-U-H1/62/2026-6H1/421 - Khizargarh: H-U-H1/64/2026-6H1/437 - Kurda: H-U-H1/61/2026-6H1/413 - Sekhan Majra: H-U-H1/60/2026-6H1/405

3. Review any pending objections or claims — If you have already filed objections or claims under the original notification, ensure that your submissions reference the correct tehsil name. If you used the incorrect tehsil in your earlier filings, consider submitting a clarification or amended filing to the Land Acquisition Collector to avoid administrative delays.

4. Monitor for further notices — The Section 4 notification is the first step in the acquisition process. Subsequent steps include the Social Impact Assessment report, public hearings, and the final Section 9 declaration. Watch for notices from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Land Acquisition Collector's office.

5. Consult legal or property advisors — If you are uncertain about how this correction affects your land or your rights under the acquisition process, consult a lawyer or property advisor familiar with Punjab land acquisition law. The correction itself does not change the substance of the acquisition, but accurate administrative details are critical for protecting your interests.

The document does not specify a new deadline triggered by these corrections. The original Section 4 notification timelines remain in effect, and landowners should continue to track those timelines for objection periods and hearings.
