Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 28, Part II, Section 2 (28 II 2)
The Government of Tamil Nadu published this Gazette issue on 22 July 2009 through the Highways and Minor Ports Department, Home Department, and Housing and Urban Development Department. It defines minor port limits, changes police station areas, removes an attachment over properties of a financial establishment, grants a site-specific planning exemption in Coimbatore, and varies the Coimbatore Local Planning Area Master Plan. The port notification supersedes an earlier notification as it applied to Tamil Nadu minor ports, while the Coimbatore notification amends the approved Master Plan.
What the Gazette governs
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, published by authority of the Government of Tamil Nadu on 22 July 2009, contains several separate notifications. For property owners and buyers, the main matters concern minor port boundaries, release of attached properties, a planning permission exemption, and a variation to the Coimbatore Local Planning Area Master Plan.
Minor port limits
G.O. Ms. No. 110, Highways and Minor Ports (HN 2), Highways and Minor Ports Department, dated 18 June 2009, applies the Indian Ports Act, 1908 to listed ports and defines each port by geographic coordinates. It supersedes Public Works (Marine) Department Notification No. 21 dated 29 April 1953, as subsequently amended, so far as that notification applied to Tamil Nadu minor ports.
The listed ports are:
- Kattupalli and Ennore Minor Port in Thiruvallur District.
- Cuddalore, Thiruchopuram, Silambimangalam and Py-3 Oil Field in Cuddalore District.
- Thirukkadaiyur, Nagapattinam and Thirukkuvalai in Nagapattinam District.
