Question 1

How do I check if a plot falls on the Ramnagar-Kachchi Dargah Highway land alignment?

Accepted Answer

Cross-check NHAI's 3A and 3D notifications for NH-119D against the Bihar Bhumi portal. Match mauza, khesra and raiyat name. Never trust a Ramnagar-Kachchi Dargah Highway land alignment claim from a seller alone.

Question 2

What is the length and cost of the Ramnagar-Kachchi Dargah Highway?

Accepted Answer

The stretch covers 12.6 km of greenfield corridor from Km 109+700 to Km 122+300, plus 1.9 km of NH-31 widening. MoRTH approved Rs 1,082.85 crore in January 2025. Land acquisition of 194.02 acres is complete.

Question 3

How does the corridor connect to the Kachchi Dargah-Bidupur Bridge?

Accepted Answer

The Ramnagar-Kachchi Dargah stretch feeds directly into the 9.76 km Kachchi Dargah-Bidupur Ganga Bridge, which opened on 23 June 2025. Together they form the eastern arm of the Patna Outer Ring Road and link NH-31 to NH-122B.

Question 4

Can I buy land under active NHAI 3D notification here?

Accepted Answer

No. Section 3D notifications and land acquisition are complete for this stretch. Any private sale after a 3D notification under the National Highways Act, 1956 is voidable. Compensation goes to the raiyat named at the 3D date.

Question 5

What is the Amas-Darbhanga Highway that this corridor is part of?

Accepted Answer

NH-119D is the 230 km Amas-Darbhanga Greenfield Highway spine developed by NHAI. It links NH-19 in Gaya to NH-57 in Darbhanga, and the Ramnagar-Kachchi Dargah stretch forms a key eastern segment near Patna.

Question 6

What is the farming ban on the acquired 194.02 acres?

Accepted Answer

CM Nitish Kumar directed in December 2025 that no farming activity is permitted on the 194.02 acres acquired for the four-lane stretch. A magistrate-police team is deployed to ensure site clearance for construction to proceed.

Question 7

What compensation was awarded for the acquired land?

Accepted Answer

NHAI ratified a 1.75-fold increase over the originally fixed compensation rate in March 2026. The initial construction budget of Rs 465.46 crore is expected to rise following the revision. Disbursement flows through the district land acquisition officer.

Question 8

When did land acquisition complete for the Ramnagar stretch?

Accepted Answer

It is complete. Section 3D notifications have been issued and 194.02 acres acquired, which closes the door on private sales inside the notified corridor and makes post-notification private sales voidable. NHAI compensation flows to the raiyat named on the Jamabandi at the 3D date, and the CM has directed that no farming is permitted on those 194.02 acres, with a magistrate-police team deployed for site clearance.
