Who may be affected
The acquisition notices directly affect owners and interested persons connected with the survey fields and subdivisions listed in the schedules. Buyers considering property in Valayakaranai or Ozhukarai should compare the property's survey and subdivision numbers with the gazette schedules, rather than relying only on the village name.
The listed properties include vacant land and land containing compound walls, sheds, wells, trees, saplings and other structures. Both individual owners and companies appear in the schedules.
Compensation and plan inspection
The compensation for the Valayakaranai acquisition is to be paid from funds controlled and managed by the Chief Engineer, Construction and Maintenance, Chennai. The Ozhukarai notice also identifies funds controlled and managed by the Chief Engineer, Construction and Maintenance, Chennai. The source does not state individual compensation amounts.
Plans may be inspected during office hours at the office of the Special District Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition), Highways, Kancheepuram. They are also available at the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition), Highways, Unit 5 for Valayakaranai and Unit 6 for Ozhukarai.
