What the notification does
The Government of Tamil Nadu Public Works Department Notification No. II(2)/PWD/850(a-1)/2013 declares that the lands listed in its schedule are needed for a public purpose. The stated purpose is land acquisition work for the Kannankottai-Thervoykandigai Reservoir Scheme.

Who may be affected
The Public Works Department notification directly affects people recorded as owners or interested persons for the survey fields and newly created subdivisions listed in the schedule. It may also matter to buyers, lenders and professionals checking title or proposed transactions involving those lands.
The schedule includes land recorded as government dry or government manavari. Entries shown in the notification cover survey fields including:
- Survey Nos. 189, 192, 193, 197, 198 and 200.

- Survey Nos. 274, 275 and 376.
Many entries concern only part of a survey field and provide a new subdivision number. A person checking a property should therefore compare the exact survey number and subdivision, not only the village name or parent survey number.
