Land covered
The Tamil Nadu Transport Department notifications cover scheduled land in three villages of Tiruvallur District and Tiruvallur Taluk:
- G.O. Ms. No. 185 covers Madathukuppam Village and declares approximately 0.26.0 hectare, or 02600 square metres, as required.

- G.O. Ms. No. 187 covers Panampakkam Village and declares approximately 0.89.20 hectare, or 08920 square metres, as required.
The schedules identify individual wet, dry and manavari parcels by survey number. They also give recorded owner names, parcel boundaries, individual extents and, for some parcels, structures or trees recorded on the land.
Who should check the schedules
Owners, buyers, lenders and professionals dealing with land in Madathukuppam, Ekattur or Panampakkam should compare the property survey number and subdivision number with the notified schedules. A matching village name alone is not enough, because only the listed survey subdivisions and extents are declared for acquisition.
The schedules may affect people whose names appear as owners, as well as anyone considering a transaction involving a listed parcel. The source records boundaries using adjoining survey numbers, village limits and other neighbouring land.
Where to inspect the plans
The Tamil Nadu Transport Department notifications state that plans of the lands are kept in the office of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tiruvallur. They may be inspected during office hours.
