What land is being acquired and where
The Poonamallee to Avadi Road Six Laning is a state road project. Land for it is being acquired under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, and the notice has been published in the Tamil Nadu state gazette.
The land covered in this record lies in one village, Kattupakkam, in Poonamallee taluk of Tiruvallur district. In all, 92 survey numbers in that village appear in the notice.
Inclusion of a survey number does not always mean the whole holding is affected. Road widening often takes only a strip of a field or plot, so the extent stated against each survey or subdivision number in the gazette is what matters.
The notice and its stage
This record holds one notice, dated 23 May 2025. It is an errata notification issued under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. An errata notification corrects mistakes in a notice published earlier, such as survey numbers, subdivision numbers, extents, classification or names of owners.
The earlier notice that this errata corrects is not part of this record. If you are affected, obtain both the original notification and the errata, and read them together.
Under the Act, land for a highway is acquired by a notice under section 15(1). Once such a notice is published, the land vests in the Government as provided in the Act, and compensation is then decided under the Act. As of this record, the notice has not been withdrawn and no later correction to the errata is shown.

What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the gazette notification and the errata. Check your survey and subdivision number, the extent shown, and the name recorded as owner against your patta, chitta and adangal.
If the errata has altered an entry that relates to your land, note exactly what changed. Errors in name or extent can delay or reduce payment, so raise them in writing with the Land Acquisition Officer for the project and keep the acknowledgement.
Keep your title documents in order: sale deeds, parent documents, patta, a recent encumbrance certificate and legal heirship papers where the owner has died. These are asked for when compensation is paid.
If you are buying land in Kattupakkam, check the survey number against this notice before you pay any advance. Land included in a highway acquisition notice is not something you should buy without a clear written opinion on the affected extent.
