What land is being acquired and where
This is a state road project. The land is needed for upgrading the road at Thangachiammapatty.
The acquisition covers 76 survey numbers, all in Thangachiammapatty village, Oddenchatram taluk, Dindigul district. No other village is part of this acquisition.
The notification lists the survey numbers. It does not follow that every listed survey number is taken in full. A notice may cover only part of a survey number or a subdivision of it, so the extent shown against your number matters.
The notice, the law and its present stage
The acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. There is one notification, dated 8 May 2017, published in the State Gazette.
Under this Act, the Government acquires land for a highway by publishing a notice under section 15(1) stating that the land is required. On publication of such a notice, the land generally vests in the Government free from encumbrances, and compensation is then determined under the Act.
The notification has not been withdrawn and has not been corrected by a later notice. The facts available do not show any later stage, payment of compensation, taking of possession or completion of the work. For the current position, check with the Highways Department land acquisition unit or the Oddenchatram taluk office.

What to do if your land is listed
Obtain a copy of the State Gazette notification dated 8 May 2017 and check your survey number and subdivision against it, along with the extent shown.
Compare it with your patta, the chitta and adangal extracts and the field measurement sketch. Confirm whether the whole parcel or only a portion falls within the road alignment.
For compensation, contact the land acquisition officer of the Highways Department or the Revenue Department in Dindigul. Ask whether the award has been passed for your survey number and whether the amount has been paid or deposited.
If you are buying land in Thangachiammapatty, ask for an encumbrance certificate and check the survey number against this notification before you pay any advance. Land covered by the notice may already stand vested in the Government, and a seller cannot pass good title to that portion.
