Land for Seven Road Infrastructure Projects in Mohali Handed to NHAI

02 Jan 2025 CW Team

All acquired land for seven major highway projects in Mohali has been handed over to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). A total of Rs 19.51 billion has been distributed to 6,650 landowners in the district as part of the process. The district administration successfully acquired around 588.70 hectares of land for key corridors, including the IT City-Kurali Greenfield Corridor, Ambala-Chandigarh Greenfield Corridor, Mohali-Sirhind-Sehna Greenfield Corridor, and Zirakpur bypass. This land clearance will enable smooth development of these critical NHAI projects in the region. Despite facing challenges with land acquisition and farmers’ protests, which had stalled several NHAI projects in the state, progress is being made. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had even threatened to cancel the delayed projects. An official involved in the process mentioned, “It took a little over three years from the award of land to possession. Actual possession started in 2023, and we are hopeful that many of these projects will finally move forward.” The largest project in terms of land area acquired is the IT City Chowk-Kharar-Kurali corridor, covering 215 hectares and impacting 2,200 landowners. This corridor is part of 185 land awards in the district, with 84 specifically dedicated to this project. In terms of the number of landowners affected, the Ambala-Chandigarh Greenfield Corridor stands out. It impacted 2,500 landowners across 28 villages in the district. Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain confirmed, “The entire 31.23 km stretch for the six-lane highway from IT City Chowk to Kurali-Chandigarh road, 27.37 km for the Sirhind-Mohali highway, and 30.83 km for the Ambala-Chandigarh Greenfield project have been handed over to NHAI.” Of the 29 ongoing national highway projects in Punjab, seven are located in Mohali district.
