Also,  the  provisions  of  the  RFCTLARR  Act, 2013,  relating  to  rehabilitation  and  resettlement  in  accordance  with the Second Schedule and infrastructure amenities in accordance with

the  Third  Schedule  have  been  made  applicable  to  all  cases  of  land acquisition under the National Highways Act, 1956, i.e. the enactment specified  at  Sr.  No.  7  in  the  Fourth  Schedule  to  the  RFCTLARR  Act, with effect from 01.01.2015. The provisions of Second and Third Schedule of the  RFCTLARR Act,  2013,  in  respect  of  acquisition  of  land  for  the  construction/ expansion/  development  of  National  Highways  are  attracted  only where it leads to dislocation and displacement of an affected family from the affected area. Since acquisition of land for the required Right of Way (RoW) of a National Highway, causes minimal displacement and dislocation of the affected persons, all such affected persons due to such dislocation are rehabilitated as per the provisions of the Second Schedule  of  the  RFCTLARR  Act,  2013.  However,  before  considering grant  of  any  relief  in  terms  of  the  Second  Schedule,  the  Competent Authority Land Acquisition (CALA) has to unequivocally certify that the affected  family  has  been  displaced  and  dislocated  to  another  area. The provisions of the Third Schedule are not at all attracted in these cases. (c)     Till  date,  there  has  been  no  requirement  of  rehabilitation  of people due to development of NHs in Odisha. As such no rehabilitation has made during the last three years and the current year so far.
