What land is being acquired and where
The Tirupathur Bypass Road is a State road project. Land for it is being acquired by the Tamil Nadu Government under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001.
All the land notified so far lies in Tirupattur taluk of Thirupathur district. The notices list 115 survey numbers spread over 3 villages.
Most of the land is in one village. Rachamangalam accounts for 102 of the 115 survey numbers. The remaining 13 survey numbers are in Kadirimangalam and Achamangalam.
The notices and their present stage
Three notices have been published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette for this project. Each of them refers to one village.
The first is the main notification dated 12 October 2022. It was followed by two errata, dated 15 September 2025 and 6 July 2026. An errata notice corrects details in an earlier notification, such as a survey number, subdivision, extent or name. It does not by itself start a fresh acquisition.
None of the three notices has been withdrawn, and no part of the acquisition has been dropped for any village. On the published record, the acquisition stands.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, the Government acquires land by publishing a notice under section 15(1) in the Gazette. The Act provides that land so notified vests in the Government free from encumbrances, and compensation is then determined and paid under the Act. The record available here shows the notices only. It does not show whether compensation has been awarded or paid, or whether possession has been taken. Those points must be confirmed with the acquisition authority.
Villages covered
Rachamangalam, Tirupattur taluk, Thirupathur district: 102 survey numbers. None withdrawn.
Kadirimangalam, Tirupattur taluk, Thirupathur district: 7 survey numbers. None withdrawn.
Achamangalam, Tirupattur taluk, Thirupathur district: 6 survey numbers. None withdrawn.
These are all the villages in the notices for this project. No other village is covered.
What to do if your land is listed
First, check the exact survey number and subdivision. Read the original notification of 12 October 2022 together with both errata, because a later errata may change a survey number or extent printed in the earlier notice. Read the three together, not one in isolation.
Compare the notified extent with your patta, chitta and the village A register. Part of a survey number is often acquired, not the whole. Note how much of your holding is affected.
For compensation, contact the Land Acquisition Officer or the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) handling this road, or the Highways Department office at Tirupattur. Ask whether an award has been passed for your survey number, the amount, and the date for filing claims or documents. Keep copies of everything you submit.
If you are buying land in these villages, do not rely on the patta alone. Check the survey number against all three notices, obtain an encumbrance certificate from the Sub Registrar office, and ask the Taluk office whether the land is under acquisition. Land notified for a highway can lose title to the Government, and a buyer takes it subject to that.
