Notice Regarding Land Acquisition for Aerotropolis Extension of Village Tangori.

Overview of the Notice

This public notice relates to the proposed land acquisition for the Aerotropolis Extension project in Village Tangori, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali). According to the notice, approximately 140.055 acres of land in Village Tangori is proposed to be acquired under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013).

Social Impact Assessment and Expert Group Review

As part of the acquisition process, a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) was carried out by Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana. An Expert Group constituted under Section 7 of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 reviewed the SIA report and submitted its recommendations. The competent authority has now considered and approved those recommendations under Section 8 of the Act.

Main Findings Considered

According to the notice, the decision to move ahead with the acquisition was based on the following points:

• the proposed land is required for a public purpose;
• the expected benefits of the project are considered greater than the identified social costs and adverse social impacts;
• only the minimum land required for the project is proposed to be acquired;
• no suitable previously acquired but unused land is available in the area; and
• if any previously acquired land is found unused, its possible use for a similar public purpose should also be considered.

What Happens Next?

Following approval of the Expert Group’s recommendations, the authorities have been asked to continue with the next stages of the land acquisition process under the RFCTLARR Act, 2013.

The notice is also being disclosed publicly. Copies have been sent to the concerned authorities, including:

• Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Mohali;
• Tehsildar, Mohali;
• Sarpanch of Village Tangori; and
• GMADA’s IT Wing.

The Sarpanch has been asked to arrange a public announcement (munadi) in the village and display the notice at prominent places such as Gurdwaras, temples, mosques, community centres and other public notice boards.

Geography of Village Tangori

Village Tangori is located within the Greater Mohali region, near villages such as Shekhan Mazra and Khizargarh. The area is significant for Mohali's development due to its position along major transport corridors that enhance accessibility and support ongoing urban expansion as envisioned in the Aerotropolis initiative. Agricultural lands are gradually transitioning, reflecting Tangori's integration into Mohali's urban fabric, marking it as a vital component in the region’s planned growth.

History and Development of the Aerotropolis Project

The Aerotropolis project aims to convert the Mohali area into an extensive urban hub that incorporates commercial and residential spaces while strengthening transportation infrastructure. This ambitious initiative aligns with the approved Master Plan for Banur, outlining comprehensive growth strategies for the region. The acquisition of land in Tangori indicates GMADA's commitment to this vision and reflects a methodical approach to urbanization. Recent notices involving neighboring villages like Shekhan Mazra, Khizargarh, Kurda, and Karala signify a broader movement towards urban expansion, illustrating GMADA's structured plan to enhance regional connectivity and economic growth across Greater Mohali.

Significance of the Aerotropolis Extension

The government has completed an important preliminary review for acquiring about 140.055 acres in Village Tangori for the Aerotropolis Extension project. The Social Impact Assessment has been reviewed, and the Expert Group’s recommendations have been accepted under Section 8. The authorities have therefore decided that the acquisition process can move to the next legal stage.

This notice does not mean that the full acquisition or compensation process is complete. It records approval to proceed further under the land acquisition law.
