Minister Name Corrections in Government Orders
The Government of Tamil Nadu Public Department (Special-B), through Government Orders Ms. Nos. 455, 456, 457, 458, 459 and 460 dated 16 July 2026, corrects the names of six ministers in earlier orders concerning ministerial appointments and allocation of subjects. The notifications do not govern land, property ownership, planning or registration, so they do not directly affect property buyers or owners.
What the notifications do
The Government of Tamil Nadu Public Department (Special-B) issued Government Orders Ms. Nos. 455, 456, 457, 458, 459 and 460 on 16 July 2026. They correct how the names of six ministers appear in Government Orders Ms. No. 343 dated 21 May 2026, Ms. No. 345 dated 22 May 2026 and Ms. No. 366 dated 30 May 2026.
The corrections apply wherever the earlier forms of the names occur in those three government orders. The notifications concern the spelling and presentation of names, not a fresh appointment or a new allocation of subjects.
