Common questions
How can I check whether my property in Eachampatti is affected?
Compare the property's survey or subdivision number with the numbers in the acquisition schedule. The schedule also provides new subdivision numbers and the acquisition extent in square metres.
Does the acquisition cover entire survey fields?
The schedule states the acquisition extent separately from the total extent of each listed survey or subdivision. The affected area may therefore be only a portion identified under a new subdivision number.
Can I inspect the land acquisition plan?
Yes. The plan may be inspected during office hours at the offices of the Special District Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition) and the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition), Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project II, in Salem.
