The Tamil Nadu Highways and Minor Ports Department issued G.O. (D) No. 127 on 5 June 2015, recording the Governor of Tamil Nadu's acquisition of scheduled lands in Meyyur and other villages in Thirukkalkundram Taluk, Kanchipuram District. The acquisition covers 1.00.35 hectares, or 10,035 square metres, required by the Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project II to upgrade the Sadras to Chengalpattu Road, SH-58, from km 00/00 to km 026/800.
What the notification does
G.O. (D) No. 127 of the Tamil Nadu Highways and Minor Ports Department, dated 5 June 2015, acquires the lands listed in its schedule for a highways project. The acquisition is under sub-section (1) of Section 15 of the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001.
The stated purpose is upgrading the Sadras to Chengalpattu Road, SH-58, between km 00/00 and km 026/800 under the Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project II. The total acquired extent is given as 1.00.35 hectares, or 10,035 square metres.
Lands and people affected
The acquisition applies only to the survey numbers, new subdivisions and acquired extents entered in the schedule. The schedule identifies lands in Thirukkalkundram Taluk, including properties in Meyyur, Neykuppi, Nathamkaraicheri, Mangalam, Thirukkalkundram, Kirrapakkam, Pulleri, Nemili, Kilavadu and Egai villages.
Property owners, buyers and other interested persons should check the scheduled survey details carefully. The entries include:
- The original and revised subdivision numbers.
- The total extent and the portion required or acquired.
- Land classifications including dry and natham.
- Recorded owners or persons interested in the land.
- Structures or features such as houses, shops, compound walls, gates, staircases, trees, a temple and vacant land.
Some scheduled properties are only partly acquired. Matching only the village or original survey number is therefore not enough. The new subdivision and acquired extent are also relevant.
Compensation and project funding
G.O. (D) No. 127 states that the entire compensation amount for the scheduled lands is to be paid from funds controlled and managed by the Highways Department. It also records that the cause shown by owners or other interested persons was considered before publication of the acquisition notice.
The notification does not state individual compensation amounts for the listed properties.
