What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 193, Transport (I.1), dated 10th August 2010, was issued by the Transport Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. It declares that the land listed in the schedule is needed for the formation of a new broad gauge railway line between Nagapattinam and Thiruthuraipoondi, via Thirukkuvalai.
The notification states that immediate possession of the scheduled land has become necessary. The Governor of Tamil Nadu therefore directs that the land be acquired under sub-section (2) of Section 17 of the Act.
