What you should do

If you own land in Rehmapur, Palhedi, Thaska, or Teeda villages that may fall within the proposed 1.60-km HR-7 Road alignment, you should:

1. Verify if your land is affected: Contact the Land Acquisition Collector's office at PUDA Bhawan, Sector-62, SAS Nagar, or visit your village Sarpanch to review the detailed alignment maps.

2. File objections if needed: Under Section 7 of the 2013 Act, you have the right to file objections regarding the acquisition. The Act typically provides a 60-day window from the date of publication, though this notice does not specify the exact deadline. Do not delay — consult the Collector's office immediately to confirm the objection deadline.

3. Understand your entitlements: The 2013 Act provides for fair market value compensation, rehabilitation assistance, and resettlement benefits. Affected landowners should familiarise themselves with these provisions or seek legal counsel.

4. Keep documentation ready: Maintain all land ownership documents (registry, mutation records, khasra/khatoni) and any evidence of land use (agricultural income records, structures, etc.) as these will be required during the compensation assessment process.

Background and context

The HR-7 Road is part of the planned road network for the New Chandigarh (Aerotropolis) development. A 60-metre-wide arterial road is a major infrastructure component, typically designed to handle high traffic volumes and connect key nodes within the township. The 1.60-km stretch passing through these four villages in Sub-Tehsil Majri is evidently a critical link in this network.

Land acquisition under the 2013 Act follows a multi-stage process: preliminary notification (Section 4), Social Impact Assessment (Section 4), declaration (Section 9), award (Section 23), and possession (Section 24). This notice, issued under Section 7, indicates that the preliminary stages have been completed and the government has formally declared its intent to acquire the land. The next steps will involve objection hearings, final declaration, and compensation awards.

For investors and existing plot holders in nearby Aerotropolis pockets, the construction of HR-7 will eventually improve connectivity. However, during the acquisition and construction phases, there may be temporary disruptions and uncertainty in the immediate vicinity of these villages.
