What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for the Kallakurichi New Bus Stand Road, an urban road project. All of the affected land lies in Kallakurichi taluk of Kallakurichi district.
In total, 33 survey numbers across 3 villages are listed in the notices. Keeranur(South) has 12 survey numbers, Emapper has 11 and Thachur has 10.
The acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. This is a State law, so the notices appear in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette and not in the Gazette of India.
The notices and their stage
Two notifications have been published. The first, dated 25 September 2025, covers 2 villages. The second, dated 30 September 2025, covers 1 village.
The notification of 30 September 2025 was corrected by a later notice. If your land is in the village covered by that notification, read the correction along with the original, because the correction may change survey numbers, subdivisions or extents.
Neither notification has been withdrawn, and no survey number in any of the 3 villages is recorded as withdrawn.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, acquisition starts with a notice, usually under section 15(1), stating that the Government requires the listed land for a highway. Affected persons are given an opportunity to state objections, and compensation is determined by the competent authority under the Act. These records show the notices only. They do not show whether objections have been heard, whether compensation has been fixed or paid, or whether possession has been taken. Confirm the current position with the land acquisition office in Kallakurichi.
Villages covered
Keeranur(South), Kallakurichi taluk: 12 survey numbers, none withdrawn.

No other villages are listed for this project.
What to do if your land is listed
First, get a copy of the Gazette notification for your village and compare the survey number and subdivision with your patta, chitta and sale deed. A survey number may be listed only in part, so check the extent shown against your own holding.
If your village is the one covered by the notification of 30 September 2025, also obtain the later correction and read both together.
Then approach the land acquisition office for Kallakurichi, or the District Collectorate, to find out the stage reached for your survey number, whether objections are still being received, and how and when compensation will be determined. The time for objections runs from publication, and the notices were published in September 2025, so do not delay.
If you are buying land in Keeranur(South), Emapper or Thachur, check the survey number against these notices before you pay any advance. A seller cannot pass clear title to land that the Government is acquiring, and compensation is ordinarily paid to the person recorded as entitled in the acquisition proceedings. Keep copies of all title documents ready, as they will be needed to claim compensation.
