Proposed Oussudu Lake Bird Sanctuary

Government Order (Ms.) No. 49, Environment and Forests Department, dated 31 March 2015, concerns part of Oussudu Lake in Vanur Taluk, Villupuram District. The Tamil Nadu Government considers the area important for wildlife habitat, fauna, flora and landform features, and suitable for wildlife protection, publicity and development.

Using the power under section 18(1) of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, the Governor announces an intention to declare the identified area as the Oussudu Lake Bird Sanctuary. The notification describes a proposed declaration rather than stating that the final declaration has already been completed.

The listed land is:

• Poothurai village, resurvey field number 106/1, measuring 300.45.0 hectares.
• Perambai village, resurvey field number 1/1, measuring 31.33.5 hectares.
• Total area, 331.78.5 hectares.

The schedule also records the boundaries. The north follows specified resurvey fields in Poothurai. The east refers to Perambai resurvey field number 52 and the Puducherry to Vazhudavur road. The south is the boundary of the Union Territory of Puducherry. The west is described through a long sequence of resurvey fields in Perambai and Poothurai.

Owners, buyers and professionals dealing with the two listed resurvey fields should note the proposed sanctuary status and compare the property records with the schedule and boundary description.

Industrial dispute conciliation officers

Government Order (Ms.) No. 58, Labour and Employment (D2) Department, dated 26 March 2015, cancels and replaces notification number II(2)LE/603/2014, published in the Tamil Nadu Gazette dated 15-10-2004.

Under section 4 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Governor appoints listed Labour Welfare officials as conciliation officers. Their function is to mediate industrial disputes and promote settlement within the areas assigned to them.

Key features include:

• Certain senior officers have authority throughout Tamil Nadu.
• Joint Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners and Labour Officers receive responsibility for specified districts, municipal areas, taluks or Chennai Corporation divisions.
• The territorial assignments cover districts across the state, including Chennai, Villupuram, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, Salem, Tirunelveli and others listed in the schedule.

The labour notification concerns industrial dispute administration and does not identify or alter particular parcels of land.
