The Land Acquisition (Goa, Daman and Diu Amendment) Act, 1980

The Land Acquisition (Goa, Daman and Diu Amendment) Act, 1980 modifies regional land acquisition laws to streamline public development projects. It empowers government officers to enter private lands to conduct preliminary surveys, measure levels, and clear vegetation when assessing land suitability for public purposes. To protect property owners and occupiers, officers must provide at least seven days written notice before entering private residential premises and must immediately pay compensation for any physical damage caused during the survey. Additionally, it expands government powers to urgently acquire any type of land needed for public projects, ensuring clear procedures for state development.
