Land covered
The 3.5900 hectare Thenkuthu acquisition covers Unit 20, Block 71, and listed subdivisions of Survey No. 138. The schedule classifies the parcels as dry land and records structures, utility lines, wells, pipelines, roads, irrigation features and trees where present.
The 5.1100 hectare Mummudicholagan acquisition covers Unit 01, Block 47, and listed subdivisions of Survey No. 60. Its schedule includes dry land, houses, sheds, a rice mill, a toilet, trees and other improvements. The schedule also names owners and interested persons, including minors represented by guardians and the Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Limited in certain parcels.
Who should check it
Owners, interested persons and prospective buyers should check whether a property falls within the survey number, subdivision, unit and block shown in a schedule. Matching only the village or main survey number is not enough, because the schedules identify individual subdivisions and exact extents.
Plans and inspection
Plans for the acquired lands are kept at the offices of the Special District Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition), Cuddalore, and the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition), Cuddalore. The notification says they may be inspected on any day during office hours.
