G.O.Ms.No.89, Additional Revenue Posts for Chennai Metro Rail Phase II, 2018
The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SI) Department issued G.O.Ms.No.89, dated 13 December 2018, permitting five Revenue Department officials to be posted on deputation to Chennai Metro Rail Limited. The officials are assigned exclusively to land acquisition and private negotiation for Phase II of the Chennai Metro Rail Project, but the document does not identify any land parcel or individual owner.
What the government approved
The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SI) Department, through G.O.Ms.No.89, dated 13 December 2018, approved the deputation of additional Revenue Department personnel to Chennai Metro Rail Limited. The approval followed requests from the Managing Director of Chennai Metro Rail Limited.
The additional personnel are:
- One District Revenue Officer.
- Two Deputy Collectors.
- Two Tahsildars.
These posts had already been created temporarily within Chennai Metro Rail Limited under the powers of its Managing Director. They become operational when Revenue Department officials are appointed to them on deputation.
Purpose of the additional staff
G.O.Ms.No.89 assigns the five additional officials exclusively to:
- Land acquisition work for Phase II of the Chennai Metro Rail Project.
- Private negotiations connected with land required for Phase II.
The new team is in addition to one District Revenue Officer and two Deputy Collectors already working on deputation at Chennai Metro Rail Limited. Those existing officers handle land acquisition matters relating to Phase I and the Phase I Extension.
Posting period and responsibility
The Public (Special-A) Department and the Revenue Department must issue the necessary posting orders. The initial deputation period is one year from the date on which each post is filled.
The approval was issued with the concurrence of the Revenue Department and the Finance Department. The document itself does not record that named individuals had already been selected or posted.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O.Ms.No.89 is an administrative staffing approval. It shows that Chennai Metro Rail Limited was being given a dedicated additional revenue team for Phase II land acquisition and private negotiation.
The document does not:
- List survey numbers, villages, streets or properties proposed for acquisition.
- Name affected owners or occupants.
- State compensation amounts or negotiation terms.
- Declare that any particular property has been acquired.
A buyer or owner cannot use G.O.Ms.No.89 alone to determine whether a specific property is affected by Phase II. Its direct effect is to authorise staffing for the acquisition and negotiation process.
