Relevance to land and property
The Government of Tamil Nadu notifications do not change land ownership, land classification, planning status or development rights. They only authorise Jallikattu at named villages on specified dates, subject to conditions. A property buyer or owner would therefore use the gazette as a record of those event permissions, not as evidence of title or permission to develop land.
