What the gazette covers
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 21 collects several unrelated government decisions rather than one general land law. Property buyers are most likely to encounter the Waqf management decision or the declarations changing the legal use of government prison premises.
Waqf management decision

Electronic industry minimum wage draft
The Labour and Employment Department issued G.O. (2D) No. 13, Labour and Employment (JI), dated April 20, 2015, publishing a draft revision of minimum wages for electronic industry employment.
