What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for an approach road to the SIPCOT industrial park at Arasanur. This is a State project, and the notice appears in the State Government Gazette.
The notification covers 45 survey numbers. All of them are in a single village, Arasanur, in Sivagangai taluk, Sivagangai district. No other village is covered by the notices on record.
The 45 survey numbers is a count. It does not tell you whether a survey number is taken whole or only in part. The notice and its schedule give the subdivision numbers and the extent acquired in each field. That schedule is what you should check against your own documents.
The notice and its stage
One notification has been published, dated 12 June 2026. It was issued under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. As of the records available, it has not been withdrawn and no later correction has been recorded.
This Act works differently from the 2013 Central Act. There is no separate preliminary notification followed by a declaration. Under section 3(1), the Government publishes a notice in the Gazette stating that the land is required for an industrial purpose. Before that notice, the owner and other interested persons are to be given an opportunity to show cause why the land should not be acquired.
Under the Act, once the section 3(1) notice is published, the land vests in the Government free from all encumbrances. Owners should read the published notice to confirm which section it was issued under, since the record here describes it only as a notification under the 1997 Act.
After vesting, the next steps are the determination and payment of compensation and the taking of possession. Whether those steps have been completed is not shown in the records available here. Confirm the present stage with the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) or the District Revenue Officer handling this project in Sivagangai.
The village covered
Arasanur, Sivagangai taluk, Sivagangai district: 45 survey numbers. None withdrawn.
This is the only village in the notice. If your land is in a neighbouring village, it is not covered by this notification. Even within Arasanur, only the survey and subdivision numbers listed in the schedule are affected.
What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the Gazette notification dated 12 June 2026 and its schedule. Match your survey and subdivision numbers and the extent against your patta, chitta and adangal. A field may be only partly affected.
If you are an owner, keep your title papers ready: sale deeds, patta, encumbrance certificate and legal heirship papers where the land came by succession. Compensation is paid to the persons whose interest is established, so gaps in title will delay payment.
On compensation, the 1997 Act provides for the amount to be determined by the authority appointed under it, and the State has since aligned compensation under this Act with the principles of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. No amount or rate is stated in the records here. Ask the land acquisition office for the award and the basis on which it was calculated.
If you are buying land in Arasanur, check every survey number in the sale against this schedule before you pay any advance. Land that has vested in the Government cannot be validly sold by the former owner. Take independent legal advice on any dispute or deadline.
