What land is being acquired for the Ulundurpet Town Bypass, and where
The Ulundurpet Town Bypass is a state road project. The land acquisition for it is being carried out under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, not under the National Highways Act.
The notice on record covers 56 survey numbers. All of them lie in U. Keeranur village, Ulundurpet taluk, Kallakurichi district.
The notice identifies land by survey number. Your entire survey number, or only a subdivision or part of it, may be affected. Only the gazette schedule and its extents will tell you which.
The notice and its stage
One notification has been published in the state gazette, dated 25 February 2026. It is the first and the latest notice on record for this project.
The record shows no withdrawal of this notice and no later correction.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, acquisition starts with a notice under section 15(1). This notice states that the government intends to acquire the listed land for a highway purpose. Read the gazette text itself to confirm which section this notification was issued under and what it requires of owners.
The record does not show what has happened since. It does not say whether an award has been passed, compensation paid or possession taken. Confirm the current stage with the land acquisition office for the project or the Collectorate at Kallakurichi.
Villages covered
Only one village is covered: U. Keeranur in Ulundurpet taluk, Kallakurichi district, with 56 survey numbers. No other village appears in the notices on record for this project.
If your land is in Ulundurpet taluk but outside U. Keeranur, this notice does not list it. Check any later gazette notices, because projects can be extended or corrected.
What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the gazette notification dated 25 February 2026. Match your survey number and subdivision against the schedule, along with the extent shown.
Check that the revenue records in your name are up to date. This means the patta, the chitta and the adangal. Compensation is paid to the persons shown as interested in the land, so mismatches in names or extents cause delay.
If you want to object or claim compensation, act within the time stated in the notice. Present your title documents and any claim for structures, trees or wells before the competent authority named in the notice.
If you are buying land in U. Keeranur, check the survey number against this notice before paying any advance. Land under acquisition notice carries a real risk of being taken. Have an advocate review the title and the gazette before registration.
