Timeline
Every entry is badged by where it came from: Official is a government, court or authority publication, Reported is established press, Unverified is a single source we do not vet. An entry records what was said and by whom, not that it is true. Open the source and judge it yourself.
No sourced entry yet. This tracker was checked on 20 Sep 2026; entries appear here the morning a source reports something.
Background
The Tamil Nadu Protected Agricultural Zone Development Act, 2020 declares the Cauvery delta districts a protected zone where specified industries, including hydrocarbon exploration and large polluting plants, cannot be established. Enforcement, exemptions and pushback such as blocked coal block auctions decide what land in the delta can be used for.
The full write-up is produced once the timeline holds its first sourced entries.

How this tracker works
This tracker is re-checked every morning. "Checked" is the date the sources were last read; "changed" is the date the status last moved. An entry that moves the status carries a badge showing the stage it moved to.
Every sourced entry appears on the timeline, badged and named to where it came from: Official for a government, court or authority publication, Reported for established press, Unverified for anything else. Publishing an entry is not a claim that it is true, it is a record of what was said and by whom.
The status is held to a higher bar than the timeline. Only an official publication can move it on its own. A status change reported by the press waits for a second outlet or for review, and one from an unverified source always waits for a person.
