Declaration of Amendment to Inclusion of Additional Area in Nagercoil Local Planning Area
The Government of Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 125, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)], dated 27th August 2019, to amend the official description relating to the inclusion of additional area in the Nagercoil Local Planning Area. It replaces the expression "Kanyakumari Municipality" with "Kanyakumari Town Panchayat" in an earlier notification that had already been amended from time to time.
What the notification changes
The Government of Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 125, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)], dated 27th August 2019. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using powers under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
The amendment applies to Rural Development and Local Administration Department Notification No. II(2)/RUL/4032/74, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 18th September 1974. That earlier notification had subsequently been amended.
The change is limited to wording in the table contained in the earlier notification:
- In column (2), the expression "Kanyakumari Municipality" is replaced by "Kanyakumari Town Panchayat".
- The amendment appears under the heading concerning inclusion of additional area in the Nagercoil Local Planning Area.
- The notification does not provide a new list of villages, streets, survey numbers or property boundaries.
Who may be affected
The Housing and Urban Development Department amendment is relevant to owners, buyers and professionals dealing with land referred to in the planning notification for the Nagercoil Local Planning Area, particularly where older records describe the relevant local body as Kanyakumari Municipality.
A person reviewing planning records should read the affected entry as referring to Kanyakumari Town Panchayat. The source text does not state that individual ownership, title or survey boundaries are changed.
Points to check in a property review
The amendment should be considered when comparing current local body descriptions with older planning documents. Important points are:
- Older copies may still contain the expression "Kanyakumari Municipality".
- For the amended table entry, the correct substituted expression is "Kanyakumari Town Panchayat".
- The amendment concerns the description used in the earlier planning notification.
- The source does not identify particular plots or provide enough information to decide whether a specific property falls within the Nagercoil Local Planning Area.
