Who is affected

This notice affects landowners and residents of four villages in SAS Nagar district: Kartaarpur (160.07 kanal), Boothgarh (151.92 kanal), Rajgarh (10.18 kanal), and Kansala (182.07 kanal). According to the document, a total of approximately 504 kanal of land across these four villages is proposed for acquisition under the Echo City-4 Project.

The notice is issued under Section 5 of the Punjab Regional & Town Planning and Development Act 2013, which provides affected parties the right to file objections and suggestions regarding the proposed land acquisition. Any person with an interest in the land — whether as owner, tenant, or claimant — has the right to participate in the public hearing.

Timing and deadlines

The public hearing for all four villages is scheduled for November 12, 2026 at 12:00 PM. The document indicates this is a consolidated hearing where objections and suggestions from all four villages will be heard on the same date and time.

The notice was issued with reference number PR-Advt. No: 1423/12-2026-27/10326. Given that today is October 27, 2026, affected parties have approximately 16 days to prepare their objections and documentation before the hearing date.

Where and how

The public hearing will be conducted at the Office of the Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, SAS Nagar. This is the same office address from which the notice has been issued.

The document does not specify whether written objections can be submitted in advance or if only in-person participation is accepted. Affected parties should contact the Land Acquisition Collector's office at the address mentioned to clarify submission procedures and required documentation.

What you should do

If you own land or have any interest in property in Kartaarpur, Boothgarh, Rajgarh, or Kansala villages:

1. Verify your land records — Confirm the exact area of your holding and ensure your ownership documents are current and accessible.

2. Prepare your objections — If you wish to object to the acquisition or have suggestions regarding compensation, valuation, or project scope, document your position clearly with supporting evidence.

3. Attend the hearing — Mark November 12, 2026 at 12:00 PM in your calendar. Arrive at PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, SAS Nagar with all relevant documents including land ownership papers, identity proof, and any supporting material for your objections.

4. Seek legal counsel — Given the formal nature of Section 5 proceedings under the Punjab Act, consider consulting a property lawyer familiar with land acquisition law to ensure your interests are adequately represented.

5. Contact the office — If you are unable to attend in person or need clarification on submission procedures, contact the Land Acquisition Collector's office well before the hearing date.

Section 5 hearings are a critical stage in the acquisition process — objections raised here form part of the official record and can influence compensation determinations and project modifications.
