G.O.(Ms).No.14, Inclusion of Additional Areas in Dharmapuri Local Planning Area, 2012

What the notification does

G.O.(Ms).No.14 dated 12 January 2012, issued by the Housing and Urban Development (UD4(2)) Department, proposes expanding the Dharmapuri Local Planning Area beyond the Dharmapuri Municipal Area. The stated reason is rapid development in and around Dharmapuri town and the need to regulate development in an orderly and planned manner.

The Governor of Tamil Nadu declares an intention to include additional areas under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The proposed change is presented as a draft amendment to the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 27 March 1974.

Areas proposed for inclusion

G.O.(Ms).No.14 dated 12 January 2012 proposes a revised table covering the Dharmapuri Municipal Area and the following revenue villages.

Chettihalli, Pappinaickanahalli, Adagapadi, Virupakshipuram, Vellagoundampalayam, Settikarai, Naickanahalli, Vellolai, Annasagaram, Ungaranahalli, Noolahalli and Mukkalnaickanahalli.

Written submissions are to be addressed to the Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Fort St. George, Secretariat, Chennai 600 009.

The Collector of Dharmapuri District is directed to republish the notification in the District Gazette and report the republication date to the Government. The Director of Translation is directed to arrange a Tamil translation for forwarding to the Collector.

Relevance to property owners and buyers

G.O.(Ms).No.14 dated 12 January 2012 concerns land in the listed villages because it proposes bringing them within the Dharmapuri Local Planning Area. The supplied text records an intention and draft amendment, together with an objection process, rather than stating that the proposed inclusion had already become final.
