Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 outlines the procedure for publication of preliminary notification and the powers of officers thereafter. It states that whenever land is needed for a public purpose, the appropriate government must publish a notification in the official gazette and local newspapers. The collector must also give public notice of the substance in the locality. This allows authorized officers and their staff to enter and survey the land, dig and bore into the subsoil, mark boundaries, and cut fences or crops as needed for surveying, except into buildings without consent unless 7 days notice is given.
