Who may be affected

- Classification of the land, with the supplied entries describing parcels as dry land.
- Area under acquisition for each parcel.
- Patta number or other recorded title type.
- Names of interested persons.
- Northern, eastern, southern and western boundaries.

Practical significance for property checks
The acquisition declaration is parcel specific. A person dealing with land in Thisayanvilai or Appuvilai should compare the property survey number and subdivision with the schedule rather than relying only on the village name or the owner’s name.
Several entries use newly subdivided survey references shown in brackets. The schedule also records neighbouring survey numbers as boundaries, which can help distinguish an acquired portion from nearby land. Some parcels contain listed palm, coconut, neem, drumstick, tamarind, teak, guava or amla trees. The supplied entries do not provide details of structures.
