No compensation provided by pwd against the offered land

I recently got a notice from PWD that- "some portion of your house is on the PWD road with dimensions (40m x 3.5m)". But reality is that our house exist here for last 50-60 years and that time there was no road, we had provided the land to PWD for this local road for which no compensation has been provided to us so far.
We had also received similar notice in year 1993 with similar subject but then we had provided them response - "This land was provided by my late grantfather to PWD for road construction purpose for which no compensation had provided to us", after that they got silent then. Now again same notice received by PWD. Please suggest how can I save my house from this false notice by the PWD and how can I get compensation of that land which had been provided to PWD 50-60 years back. I have no land papers or house papers available with me as this is my ancestors house.

If you have lost/misplaced Encumbrance certificate,Khata Certificate, Mutation Registrar, etc then you can apply to the revenue officer and collect the same. But if you have lost the originals sale deeds and old title deeds then apply for a certified copy.You will get it.

Also but for a good title on your land, file a police complaint and then go for a public notice in 1 english newspaper and 1 local newspaper. In future, whenever you will go for any land transactions, you can show the police complaint, public notice, certified copy of deeds for your genuine intention.
