What land is being acquired and where
The project is a bridge on the Thenmudiyanur to Agarampallipattu Road. It is a state road project, so the acquisition is being carried out by the State under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, and not under the National Highways Act.
All the affected land lies in Thandarampattu taluk of Tiruvannamalai district. The notification lists 45 survey numbers spread across 2 villages.
The notification identifies land by village and survey number, and usually by subdivision and extent. A listed survey number does not always mean the whole field is affected. Often only a strip or a part of a subdivision is required, so read the extent given against your own subdivision.
The notice and its present stage
One notification has been published for this project, in the state gazette, dated 9 October 2026. On the records available, it has not been withdrawn and no later correction to it is recorded.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, the State begins acquisition by publishing a notice under section 15(1). That notice states that the listed land is required for a highway purpose and invites persons interested in the land to state their objections within the period the notice fixes.
After objections are considered, the State may issue a further declaration. On publication of that declaration the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances. The records here show only the first notification of 9 October 2026, so the acquisition should be treated as being at the notice stage and not yet complete.
No compensation figures have been published in the records available. Compensation is fixed later in the process by the competent authority under the Act, after hearing the persons interested in the land.
Villages covered
Agarampallipattu, Thandarampattu taluk, Tiruvannamalai district: 33 survey numbers.
Thondamanur, Thandarampattu taluk, Tiruvannamalai district: 12 survey numbers.
No survey numbers in either village are shown as withdrawn. These are the only two villages covered by this notification.
What to do if your land is listed
Obtain a copy of the gazette notification of 9 October 2026 and check your survey number, subdivision and extent against your patta, chitta and FMB sketch. Make sure the name and extent in the revenue records are correct, as compensation is paid on the basis of those records.
If you wish to object, act within the period stated in the notice. Objections are filed in writing before the authority named in the notice. Keep a dated acknowledgement.
Collect documents that show title and value: sale deeds, encumbrance certificate, patta, tax receipts, and proof of buildings, wells, trees or crops on the land. These will be needed when compensation is assessed.
If you are buying land in Agarampallipattu or Thondamanur, check every survey number against this notification before paying any advance. Land under a highway acquisition notice carries a real risk that part or all of it will vest in the Government, and the seller cannot give clear title to that portion.
