Public notice regarding new chandigarh mullanpur gareebdas low density/high density project

Overview

The Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, Punjab issued a public notice concerning acquisition of land for the: Low Density / High Density Project at Mullanpur Garibdas, New Chandigarh The notice states that the proposed acquisition covers: 309.3021 acres in: Village Mullanpur Garibdas

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 This means the acquisition had already entered the formal preliminary-notification stage before this Rehabilitation & Resettlement hearing was held.

Why Was This Public Hearing Called?

The hearing was intended for:

• landowners; and
• affected families

connected with the land being acquired for the Low Density / High Density Project. The purpose was to give affected families an opportunity to place their views before the: Administrator (R&R)-cum-Additional Deputy Commissioner (General), Mohali as part of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement process.

Hearing Date

20 December 2024

Time

11:00 AM

Venue

Gurdwara Sahib, Village Mullanpur Garibdas

Who Could Participate?

The notice specifically invited: landowners and affected families to present their views on the scheduled date. This was therefore a project-specific hearing connected with the acquisition and R&R process.

What Stage of Land Acquisition Was This?

The hearing came after the: Section 11 preliminary notification and formed part of the process for preparing and considering the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme. This is different from:

• a Section 15 objection hearing;
• a Section 19 declaration;
• a Section 21 claims hearing; or
• the final acquisition award.

Section 16(5) or Section 16(6)?

The first supplied copy clearly refers to: Section 16(5) while the duplicate OCR copy appears to show: Section 16(6) For a public hearing of affected families during preparation of the R&R Scheme, Section 16(5) is the consistent description supported by the clearer copy. For permanent metadata, the original scan should still be checked because the two OCR versions differ on this subsection number.

Does This Mean the Land Was Finally Acquired?

No. This notice does not mean that:

• the final declaration had been issued;
• compensation had been determined;
• an acquisition award had been announced;
• compensation had been paid;
• possession had been taken; or
• development of the project had been completed.

It records only the public-hearing stage of the R&R process.

What Happens After the R&R Hearing?

After the hearing, representations from affected families can be considered while the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme moves through later review and approval stages. The acquisition process may subsequently proceed through stages such as: R&R Scheme review and approval → Section 19 declaration → claims and measurement → award → compensation → possession Separate official records are required to confirm each later stage.

Related Later Development

The acquisition for the Low Density / High Density Project at Mullanpur Garibdas later progressed further. A later record states that an award for approximately: 309.3021 acres was scheduled to be announced on: 30 March 2026 at 11:00 AM at PUDA Bhawan. That later award-stage record should be maintained separately from this December 2024 R&R hearing notice.

Is This a Land Pooling Notice?

No. This notice concerns statutory land acquisition and Rehabilitation & Resettlement under the RFCTLARR Act. Separate Land Pooling options were later offered in relation to this project, but those should not be treated as part of this hearing notice.

What Should Affected Landowners Check?

Affected persons should verify:

• their Khasra numbers;
• exact area under acquisition;
• Section 11 notification dated 6 November 2024;
• their entry in the R&R records;
• proceedings of the 20 December 2024 public hearing;
• approved R&R Scheme;
• subsequent Section 19 declaration;
• award proceedings;
• compensation entitlement;
• any Land Pooling option offered separately; and
• possession status.

How the later notices fit the sequence

The site-tracked records include an earlier June 2024 notice naming Mullanpur Gareebdas and referring to the high-density and low-density project. This establishes that the village name and project reference appeared in the tracked record before the notice covered here, but it does not establish that the June and November notices concern identical land or that one replaced or formally advanced the other.

January and February 2025 tracked titles describe land acquisition for a low-density/high-density project in New Chandigarh. They show that the subject was described as land acquisition, not that the legal process reached a particular outcome or that acquisition was completed.

August 2025 notices refer to acquisition for Eco-City 3 and low/high-density projects. One tracked title identifies personal hearings under section 21 of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. A September 2025 notice also identifies section 21 personal hearings in connection with acquisition for Eco-City 3 and low/high-density projects.

Chronologically, the tracked titles move from project references in 2024 to acquisition-labelled notices in early 2025 and hearing-related notices later that year. This is a chronology of the notices’ descriptions, not a verified parcel-by-parcel history. The available records do not establish whether the same owners or land are involved at each step, whether the notices form one continuous proceeding, or whether acquisition or development was completed.

What can be established about the location

Mullanpur Gareebdas is named in the notice title, while the project is identified as being in New Chandigarh. The supplied information does not establish the village’s tehsil or district, its precise position within the New Chandigarh planning area, or the project boundary in relation to the village.

A village name in a project notice does not establish that every holding within that village is affected. The supplied material does not identify the parcels covered by this notice, so it cannot establish whether a particular parcel is inside a project area, whether it adjoins another scheme, or how it relates spatially to Eco-City 3.

The later references to New Chandigarh do not fill in those geographic details. Their titles identify the broader project setting, but do not establish a village boundary, site plan, or parcel-level link to Mullanpur Gareebdas. More precise location claims require information beyond the material provided here.

Why the distinction between project and acquisition notices matters

The tracked notices document changing descriptions: earlier items refer to low-density/high-density development in New Chandigarh, while later titles explicitly refer to land acquisition and personal hearings. A project reference is not, by itself, equivalent to a land-acquisition step, and a hearing notice does not prove a final decision.

Some 2025 titles mention Eco-City 3 alongside low/high-density project references. The supplied information does not explain the exact relationship between Eco-City 3 and the November 2024 notice or establish that the projects share a land footprint. It also does not establish current compensation, acquisition, or implementation status.

For residents, plot owners, and prospective buyers, the project name alone cannot establish whether a specific property is affected or what process applies to an owner. Those questions require details not established by the supplied title-level record, including the notice’s operative wording, any statutory basis, and details identifying the land. The tracked sequence provides context, but does not confirm that every notice concerns the same land or that a project has reached completion.

How to read this notice alongside related records

The title and tracked records provide a chronology, but not enough detail to identify an affected parcel or determine the procedural effect of this specific notice. The related records described in the supplied information are an earlier June 2024 notice concerning Mullanpur Gareebdas and the high-density/low-density project, January and February 2025 notices describing land acquisition for a low-density/high-density project in New Chandigarh, August 2025 notices concerning Eco-City 3, low/high-density projects and section 21 personal hearings, and a September 2025 notice concerning section 21 personal hearings.

Those titles help distinguish earlier project references from later records described as acquisition and hearing notices. They do not establish that a particular owner received a notice, that a hearing was held for that owner, or that a particular parcel was included. The supplied information does not provide individual URLs, a notice number, a parcel schedule, a contact authority, or a next documented step for the November 2024 notice.

The key unanswered items are the notice’s operative wording and any accompanying land schedule or map. The available information does not establish individual inclusion, compensation entitlement, the legal outcome, or the current status of acquisition and project implementation.
