Geography of the Involved Villages
Naanu Majra, Manak Majra, Sambhaalki, and Sohana are situated in the SAS Nagar district, crucial to the Greater Mohali region. These villages are near key developmental zones that have seen substantial infrastructure improvements, enhancing connectivity to Mohali city and beyond. Ongoing residential and commercial projects driven by GMADA are reshaping these predominantly agricultural communities.
Their strategic location along major local roads and upcoming infrastructural developments ensures better accessibility, marking a distinct transition from traditional agricultural practices to an urbanized landscape. This transformation includes increased connectivity within SAS Nagar, further amplifying their potential for growth and urban development. As GMADA advances in its planning, these villages stand at the forefront of rapid change, positioning themselves as vital components of the Greater Mohali urban fabric.
Historical Context and Development
The villages of Naanu Majra, Manak Majra, Sambhaalki, and Sohana are experiencing significant changes due to GMADA’s proactive land acquisition policies. Recently allocated areas like sector-87 of SAS Nagar have been designated for substantial growth, leading to public notices concerning land claims and acquisitions related to these villages.
In February 2026, a notice emphasized the need for land acquisition for business developments in sector-87, foregrounding GMADA’s strategic aim to transform agricultural zones into commercial and residential hubs. Following this, an April 2026 notice reiterated the urgency for land in these villages, underscoring the pressing nature of these matters in relation to GMADA's development goals. The upcoming Section 21 hearing represents continued efforts to manifest urban development while simultaneously presenting challenges to residents regarding livelihood impacts and property compensation. Staying updated on the outcomes of these hearings is essential for those affected, as these decisions will shape land usage and future development in the area.
