The Government of Tamil Nadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, through G.O. (Ms.) No. 421 dated 19 November 2025, issued three Gazette notifications withdrawing specified lands in Vandiyur Bit 1, Thathaneri Group Silayaneri and Milakaranai villages from the control of the Madurai City Municipal Corporation. The withdrawal took effect from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 19 November 2025 and is connected with granting house-site pattas under a one-time regularisation scheme.
What the notifications do
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 421 dated 19 November 2025 under the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Act, 1998. Acting through the Governor of Tamil Nadu, the notifications remove three specified portions of land from the control of the Madurai City Municipal Corporation.
The Gazette heading connects the withdrawal with granting house-site pattas under a one-time regularisation scheme. The operative provisions deal specifically with withdrawal of municipal control. They do not identify individual patta recipients or state that the notifications themselves transfer ownership to any named person.
