Question 1

Is Numaligarh Brahmaputra tunnel land buying safe for non-tribal buyers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only outside notified Tribal Belts. Check the Class and Mouza Type on the Dharitree portal for the specific village. If either shows Tribal Belt or Block, non-tribal purchase is barred under Chapter X of ALRR 1886.

Question 2

What is Myadi Patta and why does it matter here?

Accepted Answer

Myadi Patta is periodic patta granting permanent, heritable, and transferable rights under the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation, 1886. Only Myadi land is safely tradable. Eksonia or annual patta cannot be sold without conversion.

Question 3

How do I verify a plot on the Dharitree portal?

Accepted Answer

Go to assam.gov.in/dhar, select Golaghat district, then the mouza and village. Search by Dag or Patta number. The output shows owner name, land class, and any Tribal Belt tag against the parcel.

Question 4

Can I buy agricultural land near the tunnel alignment as an outsider?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to the Land Policy 2019 agriculturist declaration. During Composite Land Sale Transfer, the buyer must file a self-declaration of being an agriculturist and submit proof of Indian citizenship at the sub-registrar's office.

Question 5

Does the Brahmaputra tunnel actually affect land value in Golaghat district?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Cabinet cleared Rs 18,662 crore for the 33.7 km corridor in February 2026, and travel time drops from six hours to 20 minutes. Land within 2 to 5 km of either portal is repricing already.

Question 6

What is the difference between Dag and Patta in Assam land records?

Accepted Answer

Dag is the unique survey plot number and Patta is the ownership title reference under which one or more Dags are held. Both must match across the sale deed, Jamabandi, and Dharitree entry.

Question 7

Which parts of Golaghat district fall under tribal protection near Numaligarh?

Accepted Answer

Specific mouzas in Golaghat are notified under Chapter X for protected communities. Belt status is village-level, not district-level. Verify at the DC office in writing before paying any advance for tunnel-adjacent land.

Question 8

Where is the Gohpur Numaligarh underwater tunnel located?

Accepted Answer

The 33.7 km greenfield corridor runs from Gohpur on NH-15 to Numaligarh on NH-715 and includes a 15.79 km twin-tube tunnel under the Brahmaputra. The alignment bypasses Kaziranga National Park entirely, and the land-buying question sits in Golaghat district.
