What land is being acquired and where
The project is the widening of the Singaperumal Koil to Sriperumbudur Road, State Highway 57. Because it is a state road, the acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001 and the notices appear in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
The notified land lies in Sriperumbudur taluk of Kancheepuram district. In all, 47 survey numbers across 2 villages are covered.
The notices identify land by survey number, and often by subdivision, with its extent. Whether a notified survey number affects the whole of your holding or only a strip along the road depends on the extent stated against it in the notice.
The notices and their present stage
There are 2 notifications, both issued under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. The first is dated 28 August 2020 and the latest is dated 15 October 2026. Each covers 1 village.
Neither notification has been withdrawn. Neither has been corrected by a later notice.
Under the Act, the Government acquires land for a highway by publishing a notice under section 15(1) in the Gazette, describing the land it requires. Once the land is acquired in this way, it passes to the Government, and the owner is entitled to compensation determined by the authority under the Act.
The facts available here do not show whether compensation has been determined or paid, or whether possession has been taken. The notice dated 15 October 2026 is recent, so owners named in it should expect the later steps still to come.
Villages covered
Pondur B, Sriperumbudur taluk, Kancheepuram district: 41 survey numbers notified. None withdrawn.
Vallam A, Sriperumbudur taluk, Kancheepuram district: 6 survey numbers notified. None withdrawn.
These are the only two villages in the notifications. No other villages are covered by this project's notices.
What to do if your land is listed
First, get a copy of the Gazette notification that covers your village. Check your survey number, subdivision and the extent notified against your patta, chitta and Field Measurement Book sketch.
If the extent is wrong, or the notice names a survey number that does not match the ground, raise it in writing with the land acquisition officer for the project in Sriperumbudur. Keep acknowledged copies of everything you file.
Keep your title documents, patta, encumbrance certificate and tax receipts ready. Compensation is paid to the person shown to have the interest in the land, so the records should be in order before the award stage.
If you are buying land in Pondur B or Vallam A, ask the seller for the survey number and subdivision and check them against both notifications before you pay any advance. Land under a highway acquisition notice may pass to the Government, and a buyer takes it subject to that.
