  • For Madampatti and Mylampatti entries, development must follow the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019.
  • For Mylampatti, the field map shows a water channel through the proposed site, and the water body must be maintained with proper safety distance and required procedures for development near water bodies must be followed.
