What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for the Pennaiyar to Palar Link Canal, an irrigation project. All of the affected land lies in Tiruvannamalai district.
The notification lists 172 survey numbers spread over 5 villages. Four of those villages are in Chengam taluk and one is in Thandarampattu taluk.
Being listed does not always mean an entire survey number is taken. A notification often covers only part of a survey number or a subdivision. Check the extent shown against your field in the gazette schedule.
The notice, the law and the present stage
The acquisition is being carried out under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The notice appeared in the Tamil Nadu state gazette.
Our records show 1 notification, dated 24 February 2026, covering all 5 villages. It has not been withdrawn, and no later correction to it is recorded.
Under the 2013 Act, the process usually moves in steps. First comes a preliminary notification in Form IV, which announces that the land is needed for a public purpose. Owners and other interested persons may then file written objections with the Collector within the period the Act allows. After hearing objections, the Government may publish a declaration in Form VI, which confirms that the land will be acquired. The Collector then holds an inquiry and passes an award fixing compensation.
Our records list only the one notification for this project. We have no record of a later declaration or award. Confirm the current stage with the Land Acquisition Officer or the Collectorate in Tiruvannamalai before relying on it.

What to do if your land is listed
Obtain a copy of the gazette notification and its schedule. Match your survey number and subdivision, and the extent shown, against your patta, chitta and adangal.
Once a preliminary notification is published under the 2013 Act, no one may sell, mortgage or otherwise deal with the notified land without the Collector's prior permission. Buyers should treat a listed survey number with great caution and should not pay any advance until the position is clear.
If you wish to object to the acquisition, or to the extent taken, file a written objection with the Collector within the time stated in the notice. Keep a copy with the acknowledgement.
Bring your title documents up to date. Compensation is paid to the person shown as entitled in the records, so pending transfers, partitions or legal heir matters should be regularised early.
