G.O.(Rt) No.177, Allotment of Funds for Cubical Arrangements, 2012-2013
The Tamil Nadu Revenue [LR.I(2)] Department issued G.O.(Rt) No.177, dated 23 August 2012, permitting the Directorate of Land Reforms to use Rs.30.00 lakhs during 2012-2013 for office cubical arrangements. The document concerns internal office expenditure and does not state any change to land ownership, land ceilings, property transactions or individual land rights.
What the document does
G.O.(Rt) No.177, dated 23 August 2012, was issued by the Tamil Nadu Revenue [LR.I(2)] Department to make funds available for cubical arrangements in the Directorate of Land Reforms. The Government permitted the Directorate to use Rs.30.00 lakhs during 2012-2013 for this work.
The funding had originally been sanctioned under the Part II Scheme for 2011-2012. Because the tender was finalised only in the last week of March 2012, only preliminary work was completed during that financial year. No amount was disbursed, and the entire allotment was surrendered through the final surrender proposal.
Why the funds were allowed again
The Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms reported that the cubical arrangement work had started during 2012-2013. The Assistant Executive Engineer of the Public Works Department, S.E. Sub-division, Chennai, requested the necessary funds for the work.
After examining the request, the Government allowed the previously sanctioned Rs.30.00 lakhs to be used during 2012-2013.
