What land is being acquired and where
The acquisition is for a state road project, the Road Over Bridge at Mannarai and Nidur. It covers 21 survey numbers in total.
Nidur village in Mayiladuthurai taluk, Mayiladuthurai district, has 12 survey numbers listed. Mannarai village in Tiruppur North taluk, Tiruppur district, has 9 survey numbers listed.
The notifications list land by survey number. Only part of a survey number may be required, so the extent shown against each subdivision in the notification matters as much as the survey number itself.
The notices and their present stage
Both notices are notifications under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, published in the State Government Gazette. The first is dated 29 July 2024 and the second is dated 28 October 2024. Each covers one village.
Under section 15(1) of this Act, the Government publishes a notice in the Gazette stating that the land is required for a highway purpose and that it is being acquired. Under the scheme of the Act, the land then vests in the Government, and compensation is determined by the authority under the Act.
On the records available, neither notification has been withdrawn, either fully or for any village, and neither has been corrected by a later notification. That is the stage as shown in the Gazette record. It does not tell you whether compensation has been fixed or paid, or whether possession has been taken.
Villages covered
Nidur, Mayiladuthurai taluk, Mayiladuthurai district: 12 survey numbers, none withdrawn.
Mannarai, Tiruppur North taluk, Tiruppur district: 9 survey numbers, none withdrawn.
No other villages are covered by these notices.
What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the Gazette notification for your village and check your survey number, subdivision and extent against your patta and chitta. Small differences in subdivision numbers are common and should be cleared with the Taluk office.
If you own land that is listed, keep your title deeds, patta, encumbrance certificate and tax receipts ready. Compensation is decided by the authority under the Act, and you will need these documents to prove your title and claim payment. Ask the Highways Department land acquisition office or the Taluk office about the award and payment stage.
If you are buying land in Nidur or Mannarai, check the survey number against both notifications before you pay any advance. Land that has vested in the Government cannot be validly sold by the earlier owner, and an encumbrance certificate may not show a Gazette notification.
