Formation of Srimushnam Panchayat Union in Cuddalore District under the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 152, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (PR-II), dated 11th October 2013, notifying the Governor's intention to form the Srimushnam Panchayat Development Block and Srimushnam Panchayat Union in Cuddalore District. It identifies local areas to be separated from the Kattumannarkoil, Keerapalayam and Kammapuram Panchayat Development Blocks, and states that the new Panchayat Union would take effect only at the next ordinary elections to local bodies.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 152, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (PR-II), dated 11th October 2013, proposes a separate Srimushnam Panchayat Development Block and a corresponding Srimushnam Panchayat Union. The Government of Tamil Nadu issued the notification through the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department under the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994.
The proposed union consists of specified local areas currently forming part of three Panchayat Development Blocks:
- Kattumannarkoil, covering Village Panchayats numbered 1 to 13 in the table.
- Keerapalayam, covering Village Panchayats numbered 14 to 31.
- Kammapuram, covering Village Panchayats numbered 32 to 41.
The formation of the Srimushnam Panchayat Union was stated to take effect only at the time of the next ordinary elections to local bodies.
Areas covered
The Government of Tamil Nadu notification lists 41 Village Panchayats together with their relevant revenue villages and survey numbers. The areas include Kokkarasanpettai, Easanur, Mathagalirmanickam, Gunamangalam, Melpuliyangudi, Sriputhur, Sri Neduncherry, Kozhai, Gudalaiyathur, Kanur, Kavalakkudi, Kumarakudi, Solatharam, Devangudi, Karmangudi, Kavanur, Marungur and T. Pavazhangudi, among others.
Several entries include more than one revenue village or selected survey number ranges. A property owner or buyer should therefore compare the property's revenue village and survey number with the table, rather than relying only on the Village Panchayat name.

G.O. Ms. No. 152 concerns inhabitants and properties within the listed local areas of Kattumannarkoil, Keerapalayam and Kammapuram Panchayat Development Blocks. Its stated purpose is the administrative formation of a new Panchayat Development Block and Panchayat Union.
