Who should check it
Property buyers, owners and professionals dealing with land in the listed survey numbers should note that the land forms part of a notified prohibited place. People dealing only with neighbouring land should compare the property survey number and boundaries carefully, because the notification identifies nearby roads, agricultural lands, patta land, temple land and Kuttai Poramboke as boundary features rather than automatically including them in the declared premises.
