What the notification does
The Acquisition of Lands in Kancheepuram District notification declares that 0.20.06 hectares in Kundrathur B Village is under acquisition. The stated purposes are widening the Adyar River and providing fencing to protect nearby people against a possible river breach and flooding such as the 2015 flood.
The declaration was made after objections from interested persons were heard and an enquiry was conducted under section 15 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.

The acquisition schedule contains 25 entries, all classified as wet land. It identifies the acquisition extent, boundaries and persons interested for each entry.
The affected survey numbers are:
- 651/1F, 651/1G, 651/1A1A, 651/1A7, 651/1A10A, 651/8, 651/9, 651/10 and 651/1A11.

The schedule records no structures and no trees on the portions under acquisition. Mines and minerals beneath the land are not required, except any parts that may need to be dug, removed or used during project construction.
Who may be affected
The notification directly concerns the persons named in the acquisition schedule and anyone buying, owning or dealing with the listed survey parcels. A buyer should compare the property survey number and subdivision with the schedule and inspect the acquisition plan before proceeding.
The rehabilitation and resettlement scheme states that no family will be affected or displaced. It also records no affected infrastructure, trade or business, disadvantaged family, landless agricultural labourer, cattle shed or petty shop. Rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements are therefore shown as not applicable or nil.

- The Land Acquisition Officer, District Collector Office, Kancheepuram.
- The Revenue Divisional Office, Sriperumbudur.
- The Taluk Office, Kundrathur.

The acquisition schedule records no structures and no trees on the land portions being acquired.
Will any families be displaced by this acquisition?
No. The rehabilitation and resettlement scheme states that no family is affected or displaced, so rehabilitation and resettlement compensation is not provided.
