Who Will Conduct the Hearings?

The notice indicates that the hearings will involve:

• the Land Acquisition Collector, and
• members of the concerned University/SIA team.

This confirms that the hearings form part of the Social Impact Assessment process.

What Can Affected Landowners Do?

Affected landowners may appear at the scheduled hearing for their village and present their views regarding the proposed acquisition. Landowners should carry relevant records where applicable, such as:

• ownership documents;
• Jamabandi/revenue record;
• Khasra details;
• details of structures or assets;
• livelihood-related information; and
• any written representation regarding the proposed acquisition.

No. This notice does not mean that:

• the land has been finally acquired;
• compensation has been fixed;
• acquisition awards have been announced;
• possession has been taken; or
• road construction has begun.

It is part of the SIA/public-consultation stage.

What Happens After the Hearing?

What Should Affected Landowners Check?

Landowners should verify:

• village name;
• exact Khasra numbers proposed for acquisition;
• road alignment;
• affected land area;
• revised hearing date and time;
• SIA documents;
• any later Section 7 or Section 8 decision;
• Section 11 preliminary notification, if issued; and
• subsequent compensation/R&R proceedings.

New Chandigarh and the limits of the available location detail

New Chandigarh is a planned development area associated with the Greater Mohali region. The Master Plan of New Chandigarh provides the planning context named in the notice, while the roads are described only as vertical and horizontal roads within that framework. The supplied information does not define those directional terms by reference to a map, road number, sector, or named route.

The available information names no tehsil, district-level jurisdiction, village, sector, existing road, or landmark connected to the alignments. It therefore cannot support a more precise map-based description or confirm that a particular community or property is affected. The regional setting is useful background, but it does not locate the road corridors.

Why the named villages in other notices are not a location guide

Other tracked notices name Sangla, Bansepur, Teeda or Tedda, and Chadmajra in connection with New Chandigarh master-plan matters. Those references do not establish that these villages are included in the road SIA report on this page, or show where the road alignments run. The supplied information does not connect any particular village, parcel, or landowner to the report.

Related notices do not establish a project sequence

The tracked record includes other April 2026 references to master-plan roads and SIA reports. One separate notice is listed in April 2026 with the same New Chandigarh SIA-report title, but the available information does not establish the exact publication sequence or whether one notice duplicates, supplements, or replaces the other.

Other April 2026 notices concern SIA reports for vertical and horizontal roads in the SAS Nagar Master Plan. A further New Chandigarh notice from that month refers to vertical and horizontal roads, but its title does not establish its relationship to this report. Shared road terminology indicates related subject matter, not necessarily shared land, alignments, or a common procedural stage.

Two August 2026 New Chandigarh notices name Sangla, Bansepur, Teeda or Tedda, and Chadmajra in connection with the master plan and a commercial city centre. Their titles do not establish that these villages overlap with the roads covered here or that those notices are a later step in this road matter.

The tracked references do not establish a verified timeline for the particular roads on this page. They do not confirm a sequence from proposal to notice or later action, or whether the report led to any subsequent step.

What the SIA reference establishes, and what remains unconfirmed

The title links the SIA report to vertical and horizontal roads in New Chandigarh’s master-plan framework. The supplied information does not describe the report’s findings or identify the residents and landowners it concerns.

The notice should be read as a reference to an assessment, not as evidence that the roads are approved or being built. The available information does not state the acquisition or planning purpose in the report, identify a decision-maker’s findings, or establish that land acquisition is complete. It also does not confirm that a later project stage has begun.

The tracked notices also refer to road-related SIA reports in New Chandigarh and SAS Nagar, and separate New Chandigarh notices concerning villages and a commercial city centre. The supplied material does not establish how those matters relate to one another or whether they share infrastructure or land.
