What the notification does

Notice Roc.CPRRP-CLA/15(1)/018/2021, published by the Commissioner of Land Administration, Chepauk, Chennai, on September 30, 2021, formally acquires the lands listed in its schedule. The acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, read with the Tamil Nadu Land Acquisition Laws (Revival of Operation, Amendment and Validation) Act, 2019.

The Government of Tamil Nadu states that it considered the cause shown by owners or other people having an interest in the lands before publishing the acquisition notice.

Land and project covered

The acquisition covers wet, dry and Natham-Manai patta lands in No.136 Thodukadu Village, Tiruvallur Taluk, Tiruvallur District.

Key details are:

• Total acquisition extent is 1,06,898 square metres, a little more or less.
• The land is required for the Chennai Peripheral Ring Road Project.
• The stated purpose is road connectivity from Ennore Port to Mahabalipuram.
• The relevant project stretch runs from Km. 70.034 to Km. 72.757.
• The scheduled entries identify survey numbers, new subdivision numbers, acquisition extents, patta numbers, owners or interested persons, and assets on the affected land.
• Listed assets include houses, compound walls, wells, borewells, sheds, electrical infrastructure, tanks, fencing and trees. Many entries are described as vacant land.

Who may be affected

Notice Roc.CPRRP-CLA/15(1)/018/2021 directly affects owners and other interested persons connected with the survey fields and acquisition extents listed in the schedule. A buyer, owner or professional dealing with land in No.136 Thodukadu Village should compare the relevant survey number and subdivision against the schedule and acquisition plan.

The schedule includes both whole survey fields and parts of survey fields. A matching original survey number does not by itself show that the whole parcel is acquired, because several entries specify a newly created subdivision and a smaller acquisition extent.

Compensation and plan inspection

The Government of Tamil Nadu records that the entire compensation amount for the acquired lands will be paid from funds controlled and managed by the Highways Department.

The acquisition plans are available for inspection during office hours at:

• The Special District Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition), Chennai Peripheral Ring Road Project, Section-III, Chennai-600 058.
• The Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition), Chennai Peripheral Ring Road Project, Unit-IV, Tiruvallur.
