What land is being acquired and where
The project is the four laning of the Tiruvannamalai to Kallakurichi Road, a State Highway numbered SH-6. Land along the route is being acquired to widen the road.
The notice published so far covers 312 survey numbers in 2 villages. Both villages are in Tiruvannamalai district, one in Thandarampattu taluk and one in Tiruvannamalai taluk.
The acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, and the notice was published in the State Government gazette. This is a state road project, not a National Highway, so the National Highways Act procedure does not apply.
The notice and its stage
One notification has been issued, dated 20 March 2026. It covers both villages. It has not been withdrawn and no correction to it is recorded.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, acquisition begins with a notice under section 15(1). That notice states that the Government intends to acquire the listed lands for the highway and identifies them by village and survey number. Persons interested in the land may file objections within the time and in the manner stated in the notice.
The records available here show only this one notification. No later notice is recorded. Any further step, such as the award of compensation and the vesting of the land in the Government, should be confirmed with the land acquisition office before you rely on it.
Villages covered
Varagoor, in Thandarampattu taluk, Tiruvannamalai district, has 174 survey numbers listed. None are recorded as withdrawn.
Meyyur, in Tiruvannamalai taluk, Tiruvannamalai district, has 138 survey numbers listed. None are recorded as withdrawn.
No other villages are covered by the notice on record. The survey number count is a count of entries in the notice. A survey number appearing in the list may be affected in whole or only in part, so check the extent shown against your subdivision.
What to do if your land is listed
Obtain a copy of the gazette notification dated 20 March 2026 and find your village, survey number and subdivision. Note the extent shown as required, as it may be only a strip of your holding.
Compare the entry with your patta, chitta and the FMB sketch. If the owner name, extent or subdivision is wrong, or if you object to the acquisition, raise it in writing with the authority named in the notice within the time allowed, and keep proof of filing.
Keep your title documents, encumbrance certificate and revenue records ready, since compensation is paid to persons whose interest is proved. Compensation is determined by the competent authority under the Act; the figures for your land should be confirmed only from the award or from the office of the District Collector or the land acquisition officer.
If you are buying land in Varagoor or Meyyur, check the survey number against this notice before paying any advance. Land under a pending acquisition notice carries a real risk that the affected portion will be taken, and the seller cannot pass a clear title to that portion.
