Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O.Ms. No.766 may be relevant when checking whether a property or locality was listed as a COVID-19 containment zone on 11 December 2020. A reader should compare the property’s locality and pincode with the detailed schedule, because the notification identifies specific streets, wards, villages, colonies and developments rather than treating every part of a listed district as a containment zone.
The notification does not state any change to ownership, land classification, planning permission or property title. It is a public health containment-zone list for the stated date.
