Notification No. VI(1)/337/2017, issued by the Director of Sugar and Cane Commissioner of Tamil Nadu on 30 October 2017, regulated sugarcane movement during the 2017-2018 crushing season, while Notification No. VI(1)/338/2017, issued through the Coimbatore Local Planning Authority under Housing and Urban Development Department G.O.(2D) No. 147 dated 1 August 2017, changed specified land in Neelambur Village from industrial to educational use in the approved Coimbatore Local Planning Area Master Plan.
What the Gazette contains
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 46, Part VI, Section 1, published on 15 November 2017, carries two separate public notifications. One concerns sugarcane movement across reserved mill areas. The other varies the approved Master Plan for the Coimbatore Local Planning Area.
Coimbatore Master Plan variation
Notification No. VI(1)/338/2017 was published by the Coimbatore Local Planning Authority under Housing and Urban Development Department G.O.(2D) No. 147 dated 1 August 2017. It changes the land use schedule for the Coimbatore Corporation area, specifically the non-notified Detailed Development Plan area in Neelambur Village.
Key changes are:
- Survey No. 544 remains under industrial use, except for Survey Nos. 544/1A1, 544/2A, 544/3 and 544/4.
- Survey Nos. 544/1A1, 544/2A, 544/3 and 544/4 are added under educational use.
- The variation modifies the Coimbatore Local Planning Area Master Plan that was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 9 November 1994.
Property buyers, owners and professionals dealing with these survey numbers in Neelambur Village should note that the listed subdivisions are classified for educational rather than industrial use under the varied Master Plan.
Sugarcane movement regulation
Notification No. VI(1)/337/2017 was issued by the Director of Sugar and Cane Commissioner of Tamil Nadu on 30 October 2017. It prohibited registered or unregistered sugarcane from being moved out of a sugar mill's demarcated or reserved area during the 2017-2018 crushing season unless the Director's office issued a prior diversion order.
The notification also provided that:
- Cooperative, public sector and private sector sugar mills could buy unregistered cane from their own reserved areas to address shortfalls and achieve full factory capacity utilisation.
- A mill that did not need unregistered cane could issue a No Objection Certificate within 14 days of receiving a grower's application.
- If a mill failed to issue the certificate after 14 days, the grower could approach the Director of Sugar and Cane Commissioner with proper particulars.
- Any permitted sale or transport outside the notified area had to remain within Tamil Nadu.
The sugarcane regulation applied from Gazette publication until 30 September 2018.
