What the notification does
Notification No. VI(1)/714/2025 declares that 4.40.00 hectares of land in Valayangulam Village, Reach I, Thiruparankundram Taluk, Madurai District, is under acquisition. The stated public purpose is the Nilayur Channel Extension up to the Kambikudi Scheme.
The acquisition is under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The declaration says it was made after hearing objections from interested persons and conducting an enquiry.
Land and people covered
The schedule contains 51 entries, all classified as dry land. It identifies affected land by survey number, total extent, area under acquisition, boundaries and the names of persons interested.
The scheduled properties fall within survey number groups 65, 66, 73, 78, 79, 80, 81 and 82. Some entries cover the full extent of a listed parcel, while others acquire only part of it.
Property owners and buyers should compare the exact survey number and subdivision in their title and revenue records with the detailed schedule. The names in the schedule include individuals, groups of co-interested persons and Chettinadu Textiles Private Limited.
Rehabilitation and resettlement position
The rehabilitation and resettlement summary records the following findings:
- No family is likely to be displaced.
- No existing infrastructure, affected trades or businesses, landless agricultural labourers, or affected disadvantaged families are listed.
- No cattle shed, petty shop, artisan, small trader or self-employed person is recorded as affected.
- Rehabilitation and resettlement compensation and listed entitlements are recorded as nil or not applicable.
- Fishing rights are not applicable because the project provides no scope for fishing.
The finding that rehabilitation and resettlement benefits are not payable does not state that compensation for the acquired land itself is unavailable.
