G.O.(Ms)No.151, Inclusion of Additional Areas in Dindigul Local Planning Area, 2014
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued Government Order G.O.(Ms)No.151, dated 13 October 2014, notifying an intention to include additional areas in the Dindigul local planning area and publishing a draft replacement table of covered places. The supplied text later records that the Government decided to supersede this preliminary draft notification and issue a fresh draft after correcting village names and numbers.
What the notification proposed
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued Government Order G.O.(Ms)No.151, dated 13 October 2014, after accepting a proposal from the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning to expand the Dindigul local planning area.
The notification declared an intention to add areas to the planning area. It proposed replacing the table in the earlier Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification that had declared the Dindigul local planning area.
Areas covered by the draft
The draft table identifies Dindigul Corporation and numerous revenue villages. The listed places extend across:
- Dindigul East Taluk
- Vedasandur Taluk
- Aathur Taluk
- Nilakottai Taluk
- Dindigul West Taluk
The schedule gives village numbers and names. Examples include Kurumbapatti, Settinaickanpatti, Seelapadi, Balakrishnapuram, Adiyanuthu, Pillaiyarnatham, Anaipatti, Pallapatti, Mullipadi, A. Vellodu, Kalikkampatti, Munnilaikottai, Vedasandur, Vadamadurai, Ambathurai, Mattaparai, Agaram and Tadicombu.
A property buyer, owner or professional dealing with land in these areas would need to compare the relevant revenue village name and number with the complete schedule. The later passage is particularly important because it states that corrections were required in village names and numbers.
Objections and publication
The draft amendment was to be considered after two months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. During that period, inhabitants, local authorities and institutions in the affected local areas could submit written objections or suggestions to the Principal Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort Saint George, Chennai 600 009.
The Collector of Dindigul District was directed to republish the notification in the District Gazette. A Tamil translation was also to be sent to the Collector for this purpose.
Later supersession
The supplied text records a later Government decision to supersede the earlier preliminary draft notification and issue a fresh draft notification. That decision followed a revised proposal from the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning incorporating corrections to village names and numbers, after publication in the District Gazette.
Accordingly, G.O.(Ms)No.151 should not be treated as the final or current village schedule without checking the fresh draft referred to in the later passage.
