If you own a plot in any of the mentioned villages, this article tells you what the notice says, who it affects, and what you should do next.

What the notice announces

The notice, issued by the Pune District Collectorate, lists a series of land‑acquisition orders under the National Highway Act 1956, the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act 1966 and the New Land Acquisition Act 2013. It covers land for National Highway 548‑D, National Highway 548, road widening, a public park, a sewage treatment plant and other civic works. The notice also mentions a meeting held on 16 June 2026 to brief political parties and the press. All of this is recorded in the official document linked at the end of the article.

Types of projects mentioned

  • National Highway 548‑D acquisition for villages Mauje Talgav (तळेगाव), Mauje Nhavara (न्हावरा), Mauje Shikrapur (शिक्रापुर) and Mauje Kasari (कासारी) in Shirur taluka. - National Highway 548 acquisition for Mauje Bundagarwadi (बुंडगारवाडी) in Indapur taluka. - Road‑widening of 80 ft DP (development plan) road in Mauje Mundhwa (मुंढवा), Pune city. - Creation of a public park and water‑work survey in Mauje Nangar (नांगरगाव), Maval taluka. - Sewage‑treatment‑plant site of 4 600 sq m in Mauje Talgav Dabhade (तळेगाव दाभाडे), Maval. - Various other road‑widening and development schemes in Mauje Katraj, Mauje Kondhwa (बु), Mauje Bhalewadi, Mauje Chovisaswadi, and Mauje Alandi. Each project is cited with the relevant legal clause, but the notice does not give exact compensation amounts or deadlines.

Who is affected

The notice applies to landowners, lessees or occupiers of the parcels listed under each mauje. If your 7/12 extract or sale deed mentions any of the villages named above, you are potentially a stakeholder. The notice does not automatically cover all plots in Pune district – only those that fall within the specified mauje and survey numbers. Owners outside these areas are not required to act, but they may still want to review the document to confirm.

Rights and process for affected owners

Under the cited laws, owners are entitled to a “reasonable compensation” and a transparent procedure. The notice advises landowners to submit their claim forms, land‑record copies and identity proof to the Collector’s office or the designated acquisition officer. It also mentions that the New Land Acquisition Act 2013 provides for a grievance redressal mechanism, but the exact steps are not detailed in the notice. Therefore, you should check the official source for the required forms, submission deadlines and the office address.

What you should do next

  • Verify whether your plot lies in any of the listed maujes by checking your 7/12 extract. - Keep a copy of the official notice (link provided) and note the reference numbers for each project. - Visit the Pune Collectorate office or its website to obtain the specific application form and list of required documents. - If you are unsure about your rights, consult a qualified land‑law attorney. - Monitor any further notifications for deadline dates or public hearings. Acting early helps you secure the compensation you are legally owed.

Quick answers

Real questions, real answers.

How do I know if my land is included in the acquisition notice?

+

Compare the village name (mauje) and survey number shown in the notice with the details on your 7/12 extract or sale deed. If both match, your plot is likely covered. If you cannot match them, contact the Pune District Collectorate office for clarification.

What compensation can I expect for my land?

+

The notice only states that “reasonable compensation” will be paid under the relevant acquisition laws. The exact amount depends on market value, size of land and any rehabilitation benefits, and will be determined after you submit your claim and the authorities assess the property.

Which documents do I need to submit to claim compensation?

+

Generally you will need a certified copy of your 7/12 extract, proof of ownership (sale deed or title), identity proof (Aadhaar or PAN), and the claim form issued by the Collectorate. The official notice may list additional papers, so verify the exact checklist with the office.

What happens if I ignore the notice?

+

Ignoring the notice can lead to the acquisition proceeding without your participation, which may affect the compensation you receive. The law also allows the authority to issue a compulsory acquisition order, so it is safer to respond within any stated deadline.

Where can I find the official source and contact details?

+

The full notice is published by the Pune District Collectorate and can be accessed through the district’s official website or the collector’s office. The notice lists the Collectorate address in Pune and provides a helpline number for land‑acquisition queries.
