What this gazette page does
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, dated May 18, 2022 publishes notifications by planning authorities about changes to approved master plans and detailed development plans in Tamil Nadu.
For property readers, the practical effect is that certain identified lands are reclassified into different use zones. That can change what type of development may be allowed on those sites.
