Purpose and scope
The Minutes of the 25th Meeting of the Monitoring Committee record decisions taken at CMDA on 31 October 2007. The main decisions concern applications to regularise two commercial multi-storeyed buildings and twelve commercial or commercial-cum-residential special buildings in Chennai.
