Proposed for Delimitation of Certain Divisions under the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation Act
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued Government Order number 114, dated 25 August 2011, dividing the City of Coimbatore into 100 territorial divisions for the election of 100 councillors and fixing their boundaries. The notification supersedes all previous notifications on this subject and applies from the next ordinary election to the Council of the Municipal Corporation of Coimbatore.
What the notification does
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department notification divides Coimbatore into 100 territorial electoral divisions. It was issued under the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation Act, 1981, and replaces every earlier notification dealing with the same delimitation subject.
The new division boundaries do not take effect immediately for an ongoing council term. They apply from the next ordinary election to the Council of the Municipal Corporation of Coimbatore.
Who it affects
The notification is relevant to:
- Coimbatore residents and voters whose municipal electoral division may change.
- Candidates and political parties contesting Corporation council elections.
- Municipal Corporation officials responsible for elections and ward administration.
- Property owners, buyers and professionals who need to identify the municipal division containing a particular location.
The notification concerns electoral boundaries. It does not set out changes to property ownership, land classification, planning permission or title.
Key provisions
- Coimbatore is divided into 100 territorial divisions.
- The divisions are created for electing 100 councillors.
- Detailed boundaries are fixed through a schedule using roads, railway lines, waterways, village boundaries, survey field numbers, streets, layouts and local landmarks.
- The schedule links divisions with existing local bodies, existing ward or division numbers and Assembly constituencies.
- Examples in the schedule include areas within Thudiyalur Town Panchayat, Kavundampalayam Municipality and Coimbatore Corporation.
- Named Corporation divisions shown include K.K. Pudur East, Kuppakonam Pudur, K.K. Pudur West and Saibaba Colony, Venkitapuram and Jawharpuram, Velandipalayam and Koilmedu, and Pappanaickenpudur.
- Several listed divisions fall within the Coimbatore North Assembly constituency, while early divisions associated with Thudiyalur and Kavundampalayam are shown under the Kavundampalayam Assembly constituency.
Practical significance
A street or property must be checked against the boundary description rather than relying only on a neighbourhood name. The schedule often states whether a street, road or landmark is included or excluded, which can determine the correct municipal electoral division.
