What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for a Road Over Bridge at Level Crossing 494 between Sattirakkudi and Ramanathapuram. This is a state road project.
The acquisition covers 29 survey numbers in one village, Landai, which falls in Ramanathapuram taluk of Ramanathapuram district.
The notice lists survey numbers, not whole villages. Only land under the listed survey numbers, and only to the extent shown in the notice, is affected. Land elsewhere in Landai is not covered by this notice.
The notice, the Act and the present stage
One notice has been published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, dated 4 November 2025. It is a notification under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. The same date is both the first and the latest notice date on record.
Under section 3(1) of this Act, the Government gives notice that it intends to acquire the land and calls on owners and other interested persons to show cause why it should not be acquired. The period for showing cause is stated in the notice and is ordinarily thirty days from service of the notice.
After considering any cause shown, the Government may pass orders and publish a further notice under the Act, after which the land vests in the Government. The records available here show only the first notification. They do not show a later notice, a withdrawal or a correction.
Since the notice is now more than a year old, the period for showing cause under it is likely to have passed. Whether further steps have been taken should be confirmed with the authorities named below.
Village covered by this acquisition
Only one village is listed for this project: Landai, Ramanathapuram taluk, Ramanathapuram district, with 29 survey numbers.
None of the survey numbers in Landai has been withdrawn as per the records available here.
What to do if your land is listed
First, check the Gazette notice itself. Match your survey number and subdivision number with the schedule in the notice, and note the extent shown against it. Your patta, chitta and adangal entries should be compared with the notice.
Second, contact the office of the officer handling the acquisition, usually the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) or the District Revenue Officer in Ramanathapuram, to learn the present stage and whether an award enquiry has been fixed.
Third, keep your title documents, patta, encumbrance certificate and tax receipts ready. Compensation is paid to the persons whose interest is shown on record, so mutation and records should be correct.
If you are buying land in Landai, ask for the survey number and subdivision, and verify it against this notice before paying any advance. Land under an acquisition notice may vest in the Government, and a buyer cannot expect to keep it.
