What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired to widen the Poonamallee Kundrathur Pallavaram Road, a state highway numbered SH-113A.
The acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. The notices are published in the Tamil Nadu State Government Gazette.
In all, 222 survey numbers are covered across 2 villages in 2 taluks, Kundrathur and Pallavaram, falling in Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts.
None of the survey numbers in our records has been withdrawn from the acquisition.
The notices and their stage
Four notices have been published so far. The first is dated 24 February 2023 and the latest is dated 31 August 2026.
Three of the four are notifications, dated 24 February 2023, 12 November 2025 and 31 August 2026. The fourth, dated 26 June 2025, is an errata that corrects an earlier notice. Each notice covers one village.
The notifications of 24 February 2023 and 12 November 2025 are recorded as corrected later. If your land appears in either of them, read the notice together with the correction, because the survey number, subdivision or extent may have changed.
Under section 15(1) of the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, the Government publishes a notice in the Gazette stating that it has decided to acquire specified land for a highway purpose. Under the scheme of the Act, the land generally vests in the Government on publication, and compensation is then determined under the Act. No notice for this project has been withdrawn.
Villages covered by the SH-113A widening
Mannancheri, in Kundrathur taluk, Kancheepuram district, has 112 survey numbers listed.
Anagaputthur, in Pallavaram taluk, Chengalpattu district, has 110 survey numbers listed.
These are the only two villages in the notices for this project. No other villages are listed.
What to do if your land is listed
First, match your survey number and subdivision exactly against the Gazette notice and any errata. A listed survey number does not always mean the whole field is taken. The notice states the extent being acquired.
Second, collect your title papers: sale deeds, patta, chitta, adangal extract, FMB sketch and encumbrance certificate. Make sure the patta stands in the current owner's name.
Third, contact the land acquisition officer or the Highways Department office handling the project to confirm the stage and to file your claim for compensation with supporting documents.
If you are buying land in Mannancheri or Anagaputthur near SH-113A, check the survey number against these notices before you pay any advance. Land under a published notice may already vest in the Government, and a seller may not be able to give clear title to that portion.
