Public notice regarding land acquisition for project Expocity SAS Nagar Village Safipur, Ladiaali, Dharamgarh,Rudka.

Overview

The Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department has issued a public notice regarding objections filed against land acquisition for: Expo City under GMADA in District S.A.S. Nagar. The notice covers land situated in the villages of: Shafipur (Safipur), Dharamgarh, Ladayali and Rurka. GMADA’s official Social Impact Assessment records separately identify the Expo City project in these same four villages.

Which Acquisition Stage Is This?

The land-acquisition process had already reached the: Section 11 – Preliminary Notification stage under the: Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. According to the notice, the relevant Section 11 notification was issued on: 17 August 2026 Objections were subsequently received from affected persons.

What Is This Public Notice About?

This notice is not a fresh acquisition notification. It concerns the: hearing of objections already received against the Section 11 notification. The objection hearing had originally been scheduled for: 28 October 2026 at the office of the Land Acquisition Collector. However, the hearing could not be conducted on that date because of: administrative reasons. A fresh hearing date has therefore been fixed.

Revised Hearing Date

The objections relating to the four villages are scheduled to be heard on: 2 November 2026 at: 11:00 AM

Hearing Venue

The venue mentioned in the notice is: Second Floor, PUDA Bhawan Sector 62, S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali

Villages Covered

The hearing concerns objections relating to: Shafipur / Safipur Ladayali Dharamgarh and: Rurka The English GMADA SIA material uses the spellings Shafipur and Ladayali, while the Punjabi notice may be transliterated slightly differently.

What Is a Section 15 Objection Hearing?

After a Section 11 preliminary notification is issued, persons interested in the affected land can raise objections under: Section 15 of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. The Land Acquisition Collector hears those objections and considers the issues raised before sending the statutory report/recommendations to the Government. This stage gives affected persons an opportunity to place their case on record before the acquisition proceeds further.

Important OCR Clarification

The scanned text appears to render the objection provision as: “Section 15A” However, the objection-hearing provision following a Section 11 notification under the RFCTLARR Act is: Section 15 – Hearing of objections. For gmada.in, it would be safer to classify this as a: Section 15 objection hearing rather than reproduce the OCR reading as a separate “Section 15A” stage.

What Can an Affected Landowner Raise?

A landowner who has already submitted an objection may use the hearing to explain and support that objection. Depending on the individual case, relevant issues can include the exact land proposed for acquisition, ownership or share details, impact on the holding, suitability of the parcel for acquisition, alternative possibilities, and inaccuracies in land records. The specific objection already filed remains the key document.

Is This a Fresh Opportunity to File New Objections?

The notice is primarily about: rescheduling the hearing of objections already received. It should not automatically be presented as a fresh extension of the objection-filing period unless another official notice expressly allows new objections.

Does Every Landowner in These Villages Have to Attend?

No. The notice is relevant to land covered by the particular Section 11 acquisition notification and especially to persons who: already filed objections, own a share in an affected Khasra, or have an interest in the land covered by the notification. Simply owning property somewhere in Shafipur, Dharamgarh, Ladayali or Rurka does not mean that the property forms part of the acquisition. The exact: Khasra number and ownership share should be checked.

What Should an Objector Carry?

For practical purposes, an affected person should keep available the documents supporting the objection already filed, including where relevant: Jamabandi, mutation, Khasra details, ownership/share records, copy of the objection, inheritance documents and any site or revenue record relied upon. These are practical preparation documents; the short notice itself does not provide a mandatory checklist.

What Happens After the Hearing?

After hearing the objections, the Land Acquisition Collector can prepare the report and recommendations required under the acquisition process. The Government then considers the matter before deciding whether the acquisition should proceed to later statutory stages. So this hearing is important, but it does not itself complete the acquisition.

Does This Notice Fix Compensation?

No. This notice does not specify: market value, compensation per acre, multiplier, solatium, R&R amount, final award, or payment date. Those matters arise at later stages.

Has the Land Already Been Acquired?

No. A Section 11 notification followed by a Section 15 objection hearing is still before the final award and possession stages. This notice does not establish that: a Section 19 declaration has been issued, an award has been announced, compensation has been paid, or possession has been taken.

Expo City Project Context

GMADA’s official SIA material describes the proposed Expo City project as being located in: Rurka, Dharmgarh, Shafipur and Ladayali in S.A.S. Nagar district. That confirms that this hearing notice relates to the same four-village Expo City acquisition process.

In Simple Words

GMADA/Punjab had earlier issued a: Section 11 preliminary land-acquisition notification on 17 August 2026 for the Expo City project in: Shafipur, Dharamgarh, Ladayali and Rurka. Landowners filed objections. Those objections were supposed to be heard on: 28 October 2026 but the hearing could not take place because of administrative reasons. The new hearing is fixed for: 2 November 2026 at 11:00 AM at: Second Floor, PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, Mohali. This is an objection hearing, not a compensation award or possession notice.

Practical Details

Anyone who had an objection scheduled for 28 October 2026 should rely on the revised hearing schedule: 2 November 2026 at 11:00 AM, PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, Mohali. The most important thing for an affected person is to verify the exact Khasra number, ownership share and objection already filed rather than relying only on the village name.
