Land covered
The acquisition schedule covers Government Ryotwari Manai lands in Tambaram Town, Tambaram Taluk, Kancheepuram District. It identifies parcels by ward, block, original Town Survey number, subdivision number, registered holder or interested person, boundaries and area.
The listed locations include parcels in:

Many original Town Survey numbers have been subdivided for the acquisition. Examples include T.S. No. 35 subdivided as T.S. No. 35/2 in Block 2, T.S. No. 249 subdivided as T.S. No. 249-2 in Block 11, and several parcels in Blocks 15, 17 and 18.
Who may be affected
The acquisition directly affects the registered holders and interested persons named in the schedule.
