Notice Regarding the Commercial City Center of Master Plan New Chandigarh Village Sangla,Bansepur, Tedda and ChadMajra.

Overview of the Notice

This public notice relates to the proposed land acquisition for the Commercial City Centre project in New Chandigarh, as planned under the New Chandigarh Master Plan. The project involves land falling in Sangala, Bansepur, Tira and Chahar Majra, in Sub-Tehsil Majri, Tehsil Kharar, District S.A.S. Nagar. As part of the process, a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) was prepared for the land proposed to be acquired. The report was then examined by an Expert Group constituted under Section 7 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013).

What the Expert Group Found

After reviewing the Social Impact Assessment, the Expert Group concluded that:

• the proposed acquisition serves a public purpose;
• the expected benefits of the project are greater than the identified social costs and adverse impacts; and
• the land proposed for acquisition has been limited to the minimum area required for the project.

Based on these findings, the Expert Group has recommended that the proposed land acquisition should proceed further.

Public Disclosure

The notice has been issued to make the Expert Group’s recommendations available to affected families and residents of the concerned villages. Copies have also been sent to the relevant local authorities, including:

• Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Kharar;
• Tehsildar, Kharar;
• Sarpanches of the concerned villages; and
• GMADA’s IT Wing.

The village Sarpanches have been asked to display the notice at prominent public places such as Gurdwaras, temples, mosques, community halls and other notice boards. The notice is also to be uploaded on GMADA’s official website.

Geography of the Area

The villages affected by the Commercial City Center are situated within the Greater Mohali region. New Chandigarh is located adjacent to Chandigarh and is aimed at improving urban amenities and infrastructure. The villages of Sangla, Bansepur, and Tedda play a role in the overall urbanization and integration of the planned areas.

Their location within the Greater Mohali area ensures that developments will benefit local residents and the larger urban community. Well-connected through existing road networks, this area is central to accommodating growing populations and business activities.

History and Development of New Chandigarh

The New Chandigarh initiative is part of a broader effort to convert agricultural land into a planned urban environment. Gradual changes have been observed through multiple notices regarding land acquisition and developmental planning. Over time, the integration of specific villages into development sectors under GMADA's oversight has been documented in various public notices, aligning with GMADA's goals of creating a structured urban framework.

Recent years have seen infrastructure projects aimed at supporting economic growth. The rollout of the Commercial City Center marks another step in the series of developments, highlighting a pattern of urbanization in the region.

Significance of the Commercial City Center

The Expert Group has reviewed the Social Impact Assessment for land proposed to be acquired for the Commercial City Centre in New Chandigarh. It has found that the project serves a public purpose, the expected benefits outweigh the social impact, and only the minimum required land is proposed to be acquired. The Group has therefore recommended moving ahead with the land acquisition process. This notice mainly informs affected landowners and residents about that recommendation.
