What the Gazette governs
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, No. 18 publishes variations to approved or consented master plans and a detailed development plan. The changes apply only to the identified survey numbers or town survey numbers, not to every property in the named village.
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued three variations on 29 April 2026. Assistant Directors of District Town and Country Planning issued the Maduranthagam, Thiruvarur and Karur variations shown in the Gazette.
