Gummidipoondi land use changes
Notification No. VI(1)/276/2016 records variations permitted by Government Order (2D) No. 34, Housing and Urban Development Department, dated 26 April 2013. It changes the land use schedules for listed survey numbers in Sirupulalpettai and Pudu Gummidipoondi.
The detailed variations:
- Revise survey numbers included in the agricultural use zone.
- Exclude specified subdivisions from the water bodies entry.
- Delete listed survey numbers from the road and railway lines category.
- Add listed survey numbers to special industrial and hazardous industrial use zones.
A buyer or owner in these villages should compare the exact survey number and subdivision in the Gazette with the property records before relying on a general village level classification.

The Gazette also includes a notice concerning three recovered statues and a High Court notification conferring Special Judicial Magistrate powers on listed Indian Administrative Service probationers. Those notifications do not change property land use classifications.
