Providing the necessary technical and organisational support to the revenue authorities in the State Government;
Appointment of additional officers as Competent Authority for Land Acquisition and Arbitrator for expediting acquisition;
Procurement of land as per respective State Government policies and including the administrative charges and other charges payable by the land acquiring department as per the concerned State Government’s policy in the Land Acquisition estimates for National Highway (NH) Projects;
Procurement of land through consent where missing plots are left out from the bulk acquisition and/or additional land is required due to alteration of alignment at implementation stage. Sean Doolittle Womens Jersey
