Question 1

Which villages does the Gorakhpur Bypass pass through?

Accepted Answer

The alignment starts near village Maniram on NH-29E and ends near Koni/Jagdishpur on NH-28, passing through 26 revenue villages of Gorakhpur tehsil and district.

Question 2

Why are farmers protesting the Naya Gorakhpur land acquisition?

Accepted Answer

Farmers argue that circle rates used to calculate compensation have not been revised since 2016, despite land values on Gorakhpur's outskirts rising significantly since then, and are demanding compensation at four times current market value.

Question 3

How is compensation for acquired land in Gorakhpur decided?

Accepted Answer

It follows the standard Land Acquisition Act process: a Social Impact Assessment, a Section 4 notice inviting objections, and eventually a Section 11 notification, with the base value tied to the district's circle rate unless successfully challenged.

Question 4

Can a court increase land compensation after acquisition is complete?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the Manbella case, a Gorakhpur Development Authority acquisition initially valued at Rs 18 lakh per hectare was eventually raised to roughly Rs 71 lakh per hectare after a court-backed committee review, though the process took years.

Question 5

Is my khasra number inside the Gorakhpur Bypass notified corridor?

Accepted Answer

Only checking against the official alignment and any specific acquisition notification for your village, such as Balapar, Maniram or Rahmatnagar, will confirm this. General news coverage of the project area is not sufficient.

Question 6

What is the difference between the Gorakhpur Bypass and Gorakhpur Link Expressway?

Accepted Answer

The Gorakhpur Bypass is the 26.6 km greenfield stretch around the city's north-east side. The Gorakhpur Link Expressway is a separate, 91 km expressway that begins at Jaitpur village on the Bypass and extends to Salarpur in Azamgarh district.

Question 7

Are Gorakhpur's circle rates outdated for compensation purposes?

Accepted Answer

Farmers in the ongoing Naya Gorakhpur dispute claim exactly this, alleging rates unchanged since 2016 despite significant land value increases on the city's outskirts.

Question 8

Which areas near the Gorakhpur Bypass are seeing rising real estate demand?

Accepted Answer

The Medical Road/AIIMS corridor and the Gorakhpur Link Expressway corridor from Jaitpur onward are seeing the strongest documented demand, alongside the government-approved New Gorakhpur Scheme township area.
