- Thuvar village, Thiruppathur Taluk, on 25th May 2017.
All three notified locations are in Sivagangai District. The document does not list any other village, taluk or event date.
Who is affected
G.O. Ms. No. 114 directly concerns people conducting or participating in Vadamadu or Manjuviratu at the named villages, along with authorities responsible for the notified events. Its effect is limited to allowing the events to be conducted at the specified places on the specified dates.
Relevance to land and property
G.O. Ms. No. 114 is an event notification, not a land or property notification. It does not identify survey numbers, property boundaries, owners or particular parcels of land. It also does not state that any land is acquired, transferred, reclassified or subjected to a permanent land use restriction.
A property buyer or owner would therefore find no property-specific decision in the text. The only geographic details provided are the village and taluk names for the three Vadamadu or Manjuviratu events.
