Demarcation of Containment Zone to Control COVID-19, List of Containment Zone as on 04-06-2021

What the notification does

The Government of Tamil Nadu, Revenue and Disaster Management Department published G.O.Ms. No.397, Revenue and Disaster Management (D.M-IV), dated 9 June 2021, in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary. It formally notifies the list of containment zones as on 4 June 2021 for controlling coronavirus under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.

The notification is a dated record of COVID-19 containment zones. It does not contain provisions about land ownership, patta, registration, planning permission, building approval or land use.

Who may be affected

The containment-zone list is relevant to residents, property owners, buyers and professionals who need to check whether a particular address was within a notified zone on 4 June 2021. Because the list is tied to that date, it does not establish whether an address remained a containment zone before or after that date.

For property purposes, inclusion of an address in the list records its containment-zone status on the specified date. The notification does not state that inclusion changes ownership rights or the legal description of a property.

How to use the list

A reader should compare the property address, locality and pincode with the detailed entries. Similar locality names may appear more than once, so the complete address details should be checked rather than relying only on the district total.
