What the Gazette notifications cover
The Registration Department notifications concern registered societies that have either failed to submit required records or have been treated as inactive. They do not announce any change to land ownership, land classification or property registration.
Notification Reference Na.Ka.

The listed societies had not filed their annual returns with the Periyakulam District Registrar Office.
