Conservation reserve declaration

The Environment and Forests Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 41 dated 19 March 2015. After consultation with local communities, the Governor of Tamil Nadu declared specified government-owned land in Agastheeswaram Taluk, Kanyakumari District, as the Suchindrum-Theroor-Managudi Conservation Reserve to protect landscapes, flora, fauna and their habitat.

Key details are:

• The reserve covers a total stated extent of 484.77.0 hectares.
• It includes specified survey numbers in Kanniyakumari, Thengamputhur, Suchindram, Theroor, Parakkai, Nagercoil and Kottaram revenue villages.
• The notification gives individual extents and detailed northern, eastern, southern and western boundaries for the listed survey numbers.
• Owners or buyers near these locations should compare the property survey number with the schedule and boundary descriptions. The declaration itself states that the included area is owned by the Government.

Highway land acquisition

The Highways and Minor Ports Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 39 dated 18 March 2015. The Governor of Tamil Nadu states that scheduled lands are required for construction of a road over bridge in place of existing level crossing No. 346 at railway kilometre 473/500-600 on Valayapatti Road via Andipatti.

Key provisions are:

• The acquisition notice states an extent of 235 square metres, a little more or less.
• The acquisition is published under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001.
• The supplied extract does not include the complete schedule following this notice, so affected survey numbers cannot be confirmed from the available text.

Other notifications

The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department issued G.O. (Rt.) Nos. 81, 87, 107, 86 and 113 on dates between 23 February 2015 and 17 March 2015. These notifications consolidate stamp duty payable for policies issued through specified offices or branches of the Life Insurance Corporation of India, United India Insurance Company Limited and Cholamandalam Ms. General Insurance Company Limited. They concern insurance policy stamp duty rather than ownership or transfer of land.
