What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for the Hosur Outer Ring Road, a state road project. All of it lies in Hosur taluk of Krishnagiri district.
The notices cover 343 survey numbers in 8 villages. They are published in the state gazette under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. The National Highways Act does not apply to this project, so no section 3D declarations have been issued.
The notices and their stage
The first notice was published on 26 May 2023 and the latest on 5 February 2026. The other notices are dated 2 June 2023, 25 July 2023, 25 September 2023, 21 May 2024, 15 October 2024, 17 October 2024 and 9 December 2025.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, the Government acquires land for a highway by publishing a notice in the gazette, usually under section 15(1). The notice identifies the land by village and survey number and states that the Government intends to take it for the road.
Some of the earlier notices were later corrected by further notifications. If your land appears in one of them, read the original notice together with its correction, because the correction may change the survey number, subdivision or extent.
None of the notices has been fully withdrawn. These records do not show whether possession has been taken or whether compensation has been paid in any village. Confirm this with the land acquisition office for the project.
Villages covered by the notices
The notices list survey numbers in these villages of Hosur taluk: Allur (84 survey numbers), Avalapalli (84), Zuzuvadi (54), Kelavarapalli (37), Bethagullu (35), Anumepalli Agraharam (22), Chinnakullu (19) and Moranapalli (8).
No survey numbers in any of these villages have been withdrawn so far.
What to do if your land is listed
First, obtain a copy of the gazette notice for your village and match your survey number and subdivision exactly. Check any correction notice for the same village as well.
Second, compare the extent shown in the notice with your patta, chitta and FMB sketch. The notice may cover only part of a survey number.
Third, if you wish to object to the acquisition or to the extent shown, do so in writing to the authority named in the notice, within the time the notice allows. Keep proof of submission.
Buyers should not complete a purchase of any listed survey number without first confirming its acquisition status with the land acquisition office and the Taluk office at Hosur. Land under a highway acquisition notice may be taken for the road whatever a later sale deed says.
