Section 11 Notification

According to the notice, the Punjab Government, Housing and Urban Development Department had already issued a preliminary acquisition notification under: Section 11 of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 on: 6 November 2024 The present notice relates to the next Rehabilitation & Resettlement stage.

Why Was the Public Hearing Called?

The hearing was being held under: Section 16(5) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 for:

• landowners; and
• affected families

connected with the Eco City-3 acquisition. The hearings were to be conducted by the: Administrator (R&R)-cum-Additional Deputy Commissioner (General), Mohali

First Public Hearing

The first hearing covered: Rasulpur, Salamatpur, Dhode Majra, Takipur, Rajgarh, Majra and Hoshiarpur Date: 18 December 2024 Time: 11:00 AM Venue: Gurdwara Sahib, Village Takipur

Second Public Hearing

The second hearing covered: Kartarpur and Kansala Date: 18 December 2024 Time: 1:00 PM Venue: Gurdwara Sahib, Village Kansala

What Could Affected Families Do?

Landowners and affected families could attend the relevant hearing and present their views regarding the proposed Rehabilitation and Resettlement arrangements. Issues at this stage could include matters connected with:

• affected land;
• family details;
• livelihood impact;
• structures or other assets;
• displacement, where applicable;
• R&R benefits and entitlements; and
• omissions or concerns relating to the draft R&R Scheme.

What Does Section 16(5) Mean?

Section 16 deals with preparation of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme for families affected by acquisition. A hearing under Section 16(5) gives affected families an opportunity to participate before the R&R Scheme moves to later review and approval stages. This is different from:

• Section 15, which deals with objections after the Section 11 notification;
• Section 19, which is the formal declaration of acquisition; and
• Section 21, which deals with claims and interests at a later stage.

Does This Mean the 713.3750 Acres Had Already Been Finally Acquired?

No. This notice confirms that the acquisition process had reached the R&R public-hearing stage. It does not by itself mean that:

• the Section 19 declaration had been issued;
• the acquisition award had been announced;
• compensation had been fixed;
• compensation had been paid;
• possession had been taken; or
• Eco City-3 development had been completed.

What Happened at a Later Stage?

The Eco City-3 acquisition subsequently progressed further. A later official record refers to approval of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme under Section 18 and also identifies the same: 713.3750 acres across the same nine villages. That later Section 18 approval should be maintained as a separate acquisition-stage document.

What Should Affected Landowners Check?

Affected persons should verify:

• their village and Khasra numbers;
• exact land area affected;
• Section 11 notification dated 6 November 2024;
• R&R survey records;
• proceedings of the 18 December 2024 hearing;
• approved R&R Scheme;
• later Section 18 approval;
• Section 19 declaration;
• compensation and award records; and
• any separately offered Land Pooling option.

What can be established about the named places

The notice title connects Rassolpur, Slamatpur and Dhodhe Majra with Eco City 3. The supplied material does not verify their tehsil, district, precise locations or boundaries, and includes no map or details of adjoining sectors, roads or landmarks. Their positions relative to one another and their relationship to Eco City 3 cannot be established from this record.

For landholders and prospective buyers, a village name in a notice title is not a parcel-level location description. Without the notice text, an accompanying map or other supplied official material, this page cannot establish whether a particular property is included, excluded or affected. The three names should be treated as the localities identified in the title, not as evidence that the entire area of each village is within Eco City 3.

What the available record does not locate

The supplied material describes no boundaries or adjoining areas. It gives no basis for placing the villages relative to one another, identifying nearby infrastructure, or tying any named village to a particular Eco City 3 sector. To match a property to the notice, readers would need the underlying document or an official map that identifies the relevant land, rather than relying on the title alone.

Eco City 3 in the documented notice record

The available chronology is limited. A November 2024 page identifies a public notice concerning Eco City 3 and Rassolpur, Slamatpur and Dhodhe Majra, but the notice contents are not available in the research material. Its project stage and the event or process it refers to cannot be established.

Later records tracked on the site include two notices about extensions to the deadline for land-pooling option forms for the Eco City-III LOW/High Project, and a notice titled as an environmental clearance for the Area Development Project named Eco City 3. These entries establish that those topics appear in later Eco City-related notices. They do not establish that the later notices involve the same land or villages, or that they continue or resolve the matter in the 2024 notice.

The available record does not establish a sequence of proposal, notification, hearing or award for Rassolpur, Slamatpur or Dhodhe Majra. It also does not show that the villages were included in a particular sector or development scheme. Establishing those points requires the underlying notice or other official documents that identify the land and procedural steps.

These entries are separate records, not a confirmed chain of decisions. The later land-pooling form notices do not prove that land pooling was the subject of the 2024 notice, and the environmental-clearance title does not establish that clearance was granted or that development is underway. The material supplied here does not state the outcome or current status of any process involving the three villages.

Why the limits of the record matter

The 2024 notice title connects this page to Eco City 3, while later site records concern land-pooling option forms and an environmental-clearance title. This provides context for readers tracking Eco City-related public documentation, but does not establish the 2024 notice's role in planning or an approval process.

The available title does not confirm acquisition, land pooling, environmental review, a final decision or a change in land use for Rassolpur, Slamatpur or Dhodhe Majra. It also does not describe consequences for an individual property. Those matters remain unconfirmed unless the complete notice or another official record states them.

The later references identify topics appearing in Eco City-related documentation, not proof that the same land is covered. A matching project name does not establish matching parcels, a common process or an approved project stage. For the three named villages, the supplied record supports only the connection made by the 2024 title and does not establish how they fit into a wider development boundary or scheme.
