Boundaries
The Naduvattam Extension-XXXIV Forest Block is surrounded on the north, east, south and west by reserved forest. The surrounding land was declared as Naduvattam reserved forest through a Forests and Fisheries Department notification dated 25 February 1977, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 30 March 1977.
What the notification changes
The Environment and Forest Department notification gives the identified block reserved forest status with effect from 7 July 2014. It expressly records that no rights are allowed within the block.
The declaration is therefore relevant when checking land records, survey maps or boundaries involving New Revised Survey No. 308 in Naduvattam Village. The old identifiers, Village No. 3 and Survey No. 8, are also important because older deeds or records may use them.

- Buyers or owners checking land described as New Revised Survey No. 308 or old Survey No. 8 in Naduvattam Village.
- Surveyors and property professionals confirming whether adjoining land falls within the declared forest block.
