What the notifications do
The Commissioner of Land Administration, Chepauk, Chennai, published three land acquisition notices under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, read with the Tamil Nadu Land Acquisition Laws (Revival of Operation, Amendment and Validation) Act, 2019. The notices state that the Governor of Tamil Nadu acquires the scheduled land for an industrial purpose, namely the doubling of the broad gauge railway line between Madurai and Thoothukudi under Rail Vikas Nigam Limited.
The compensation for the acquired land is to be paid from funds controlled or managed by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited.
Villages and land affected
The published acquisitions cover land in Sattur Taluk, Virudhunagar District:
- Roc. No. M1/1191570/2021 and Notification No. VI(1)/349(d-1)/2021 cover 15,483 square metres in Nalli Village.

- Roc. No. M1/1191589/2021 covers 23,347 square metres in Kanjampatti Village.
The schedules identify affected parcels by survey number, total extent, area acquired, land type and the names of landowners or interested persons. They also identify structures or trees where recorded. For example, the Padanthal schedule records a bathroom on one parcel and two neem trees on another.
Who should check the schedules
Owners, interested persons and prospective buyers dealing with land in Nalli, Padanthal or Kanjampatti villages should compare the relevant survey number against the published schedule. The acquisition applies to the specified extent within each listed survey parcel, which may be smaller than the parcel's total extent.
A name appearing in the schedule indicates the person recorded as an owner or interested person for that entry. Buyers should not rely only on a village name or ownership name, because the survey number and acquired extent determine the land covered.

- The office of the District Collector, Virudhunagar.
