Who is affected

This notice applies to landowners and interested parties in eight villages being acquired for the Aerotropolis Extension in SAS Nagar: Mandapur Kalan, Kurara, Dhumeri, Sembal Majara, Karala, Ajitpuri, Banur, and Bhikharpur. The document indicates that the acquisition is proceeding under Section 5 of the Punjab Regional & Town Planning and Development Act 2013.

Any person whose land is being acquired, or who has an interest in the land (such as tenants, mortgagees, or other stakeholders), is entitled to attend the scheduled hearings and submit objections. The notice is issued by the Office of the Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, SAS Nagar.

Timing and deadlines

Public hearings are scheduled across four days in May 2026, all beginning at 11:00 AM:

- May 15, 2026: Mandapur Kalan and Kurara - May 16, 2026: Dhumeri and Sembal Majara - May 19, 2026: Karala and Ajitpuri - May 20, 2026: Banur and Bhikharpur

These are the operative dates for affected parties to appear and submit objections. The document does not specify a written submission deadline separate from the hearing dates, suggesting that objections must be raised in person at the scheduled hearings.

Where and how

Hearings will be held at Gurdwara Sahibs in or near the affected villages:

The document does not specify a separate written submission process or contact person. Affected parties are expected to attend the hearing in person at the designated venue for their village.

What you should do

If you own land or have an interest in land in any of the eight villages listed, you should:

1. Mark your calendar for the hearing date corresponding to your village (see table above). 2. Gather documentation proving your ownership or interest in the land (title deeds, sale agreements, tenancy records, mortgage documents). 3. Attend the hearing in person at the designated Gurdwara Sahib at 11:00 AM on the scheduled date. 4. Prepare your objections in writing if possible, covering any concerns about the acquisition, compensation, or procedural irregularities. 5. Bring a representative if you cannot attend personally — legal counsel or a family member with a power of attorney.

This is a Section 5 hearing, which is the first formal opportunity for affected parties to raise objections to the proposed acquisition. Missing this hearing may limit your ability to contest the acquisition later. If you are unsure whether your land is included, contact the Land Acquisition Collector's office at PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, SAS Nagar before the hearing date.
