Streamlining process, NHAI rolls out template for land acquisition surveys
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|July 04, 2025
TO streamline Joint Measurement Surveys (JMS) carried out for land acquisition and maintain accuracy, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has developed a standardized template along with a comprehensive set of instructions for strict compliance.
It aims to address the deficiencies in the existing process, restructure the land acquisition procedure by ensuring accuracy, transparency, and completeness in documents. With the standardization, the agency is also expecting to evade possible unwanted legal hassles during the acquisition.
According to an official note, the NHAI introduced the new arrangement after it observed inconsistencies in JMS reports and essential details missing on many occasions. These issues often lead to legal disputes and enhanced compensation claims at later stages of the land acquisition process.
