The Government of Tamil Nadu, Highways and Minor Ports Department, through G.O. Ms. No. 23 and G.O. Ms. No. 24, both dated 18 February 2025, withdraws specified land in Kumarapalayam-Goundampalayam and Nallur villages from acquisition for two State Highway strengthening projects.

What the land notifications do
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Highways and Minor Ports Department issued two withdrawal notifications under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act. G.O. Ms. No. 23, Highways and Minor Ports [EAP-I(2)] Department, dated 18 February 2025, and G.O. Ms. No. 24, Highways and Minor Ports [EAP-I(2)] Department, dated 18 February 2025, remove the land listed in their schedules from earlier highway acquisition notifications.
These are parcel-specific withdrawals. They do not state that the entire highway projects or all acquisitions connected with those projects have been cancelled.
Land and projects covered
The Highways and Minor Ports Department notifications concern land previously identified for strengthening two roads:
- SH-79(2), Rasipuram to Tiruchengode Road at Kumarapalayam-Goundampalayam.
- SH-86, Tiruchengode to Paramathi Road at Nallur village.
The schedules identify the following land:
- Kumarapalayam-Goundampalayam village, Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal District, Survey No. 299/3C1, new subdivision No. 299/3C1B. The proposed acquisition area is 56 square metres. The named present owner is Venkatachalam.
- Nallur village, Paramathi Taluk, Namakkal District, Survey No. 271, new subdivision No. 271/2. The proposed acquisition area is 90 square metres. The schedule names Prasath Textiles and Palanisamy Gounder, son of Sellappa Gounder, and records a hollow-brick compound wall and one iron gate.
- Nallur village, Survey No. 272/1, new subdivision No. 272/1B. The proposed acquisition area is 14 square metres. The named present owner is Rangappa Gounder, and a compound wall is recorded.
Who should check the notification
Owners, buyers, lenders and professionals dealing with the listed survey numbers should verify whether the property matches the village, taluk, survey number and subdivision shown in the schedules. The withdrawal means the specified area is no longer included in the acquisition identified by these notifications, but the Gazette text does not determine title, boundaries or the status of any adjoining land.
Other contents of the Gazette issue
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 10 also contains notifications concerning stamp duty consolidation, electricity tax exemption, Periyar University, prisons, employee insurance, minimum wages, industrial disputes, land classification and reserved forests. Those separate notifications do not change the parcel-specific scope of the highway acquisition withdrawals.
