This law enables the Chhattisgarh government or authorized corporations to lay underground pipelines for essential utilities such as water, gas, electricity, and industrial waste throughout the state. It provides a specific legal procedure to acquire the necessary rights and access to privately held land, allowing officials to survey and set out construction lines. During a twenty-one day objection period, land owners can voice concerns, but the Act grants the competent authority final power to approve the land use, ensuring public infrastructure projects can proceed.
