GMADA Public Notice
Public notice regarding Land Acquisition of Village Nadiayali, S.A.S Nagar.
Overview
The Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, Punjab has issued a public-hearing notice regarding proposed acquisition of land in: Village Nadiyali, S.A.S. Nagar The land relates to a missing Khasra number falling within the alignment of a: 300-feet-wide road under the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) The hearing is being conducted under Section 5 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013).
Why Has This Notice Been Issued?
GMADA proposes to acquire land corresponding to a Khasra number that was apparently missing from the earlier land schedule for the proposed 300-feet-wide road. Before the acquisition process moves further, the affected families/landowners are being given an opportunity to participate in the Social Impact Assessment public hearing.
What Is a Section 5 Public Hearing?
Section 5 forms part of the Social Impact Assessment process under the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. At this stage, affected families and landowners can place their views regarding matters such as:
- likely impact of the proposed acquisition;
- effect on livelihood;
- displacement;
- access to land or property;
- community facilities;
- environmental or social concerns; and
- other consequences of the proposed acquisition.
This is an early-stage consultation process.
Who Will Conduct the Hearing?
The notice states that the hearing will be conducted by:
- the Land Acquisition Collector, and
- members from the concerned University/SIA team.
This indicates that the hearing forms part of preparation/evaluation of the Social Impact Assessment.
Village Covered
The notice concerns: Village Nadiyali It specifically refers to a missing Khasra number connected with the proposed 300-feet-wide road. The supplied notice does not identify the exact Khasra number.
Public Hearing Date
The notice gives the hearing date as: 22 May 2026
Time
This supplied copy states: 1:00 PM
Venue
The hearing was scheduled at: Gurdwara Sahib, Village Nadiyali
What Can Affected Landowners Do?
Affected landowners may present their views at the public hearing on the scheduled date. This gives them an opportunity to raise concerns and provide information relevant to the Social Impact Assessment before the acquisition moves to later statutory stages.
Does This Mean the Land Has Already Been Acquired?
No. A Section 5 public hearing does not mean that:
- acquisition has been finally approved;
- a Section 11 preliminary notification has been issued;
- compensation has been determined;
- an award has been announced; or
- possession has been taken.
It is part of the Social Impact Assessment stage before later acquisition proceedings.
What Happens After the Section 5 Hearing?
After the public hearing, the SIA process may move through stages such as: SIA report → disclosure of SIA → Expert Group review → government consideration → preliminary acquisition proceedings If the acquisition proceeds, later stages under the RFCTLARR Act may follow separately.
What Does “Missing Khasra Number” Mean?
The notice indicates that a land parcel/Khasra connected with the proposed road was not included in the earlier relevant land schedule or acquisition record and is now being considered separately. This does not mean that every Khasra number in Village Nadiyali is affected. Landowners should check the exact Khasra schedule in the official acquisition documents.
What Should Affected Landowners Check?
Affected persons should verify:
- exact Khasra number;
- ownership/share in the land;
- area proposed for acquisition;
- road alignment;
- revenue record;
- Social Impact Assessment documents;
- subsequent Section 7/Section 8 proceedings, if issued;
- later Section 11 notification; and
- compensation/R&R proceedings if the acquisition moves forward.
Nadiayali within S.A.S. Nagar
S.A.S. Nagar, commonly called Mohali, is within the Greater Mohali region administered by GMADA. This gives the village a broader administrative context, but it does not locate the land referred to in the notice.
The supplied information does not give village boundaries, khasra numbers, adjoining sectors, or roads. It also does not establish Nadiayali’s position within S.A.S. Nagar. The village name alone cannot determine whether a particular site or holding is included.
Identifying land on a map would require parcel details or an official plan showing the village and relevant land. Neither is established in the information supplied for this page. The general Greater Mohali context cannot establish whether a specific property is affected.
What is known about the village's development history
The material supplied for this page does not describe Nadiayali’s historical land use, its incorporation into a planned urban area, or a connection to a named GMADA scheme. Without a planning document establishing such a link, it would be unsupported to describe the village as agricultural land being converted into a sector or associate it with Aerotropolis or another master-plan project. Greater Mohali’s wider development context cannot substitute for a documented account of this village’s planning history.
The available information does not identify a prior planning designation, a change in village boundaries, or earlier acquisition proceedings for Nadiayali. These questions are separate from the notice’s land-acquisition subject. The village’s location in S.A.S. Nagar and the wider presence of GMADA planning do not establish its specific development history.
The related-notices list includes another May 2026 entry with the same title and village. The available information does not show whether these are duplicate records or distinct documents, or establish a sequence such as a proposal followed by notification, hearing, or award. Matching titles do not establish a change in acquisition status. The listing alone cannot establish that one entry supersedes the other or records a later procedural step.
What the acquisition reference does and does not tell residents
For owners, occupants, and prospective buyers, the key unresolved question is whether the notice identifies their land. The supplied facts establish only the village and the broad subject of land acquisition. They do not identify a project or scheme, so the notice cannot be tied on this evidence to a particular road, sector, or development priority.
The page title alone cannot establish that a specific plot or khasra number is included, that acquisition is finalized, or that compensation terms have been set. Those conclusions require details from the notice or another authoritative document, which are not established in the supplied research material. A village name identifies the broad subject but does not establish the effect on an individual holding.
GMADA’s role in administering the Greater Mohali region does not establish that this land is being acquired for a GMADA scheme, a road, or another named development. Any stated purpose must come from the document, not from assumptions about development across the region. On the information available here, the notice is a village-specific acquisition reference, not evidence of a confirmed project outcome.
