Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary No. 339
The Governor of Tamil Nadu, through the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 140 and G.O. Ms. No. 141, both dated 15 September 2011, to constitute wards committees for Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Vellore Corporations and reserve specified municipal wards for Scheduled Castes and women. The Coimbatore arrangement supersedes the department's 1996 notification, while the municipal reservation schedule partially supersedes the 2006 notification for the listed municipalities.
What the notifications govern
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department notifications under G.O. (Ms.) No. 140 and G.O. Ms. No. 141, dated 15 September 2011, deal with local government administration and electoral reservations. They establish wards committees for three city corporations and identify reserved wards in eight municipalities.
No provision in the document changes land ownership, land use, property boundaries or property charges. Property buyers and owners may still find it relevant when identifying the wards committee or electoral reservation applying to a municipal ward.
