The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 147 dated 25 November 2015, declaring the Government of Tamil Nadu's intention to include additional areas in the Kumbakonam local planning area. The notification publishes a draft amendment to the 1974 notification that declared the planning area, rather than confirming that the proposed inclusion is final. Inhabitants, local authorities and institutions in the affected local areas may submit written objections or suggestions within two months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.

The notification contains a draft amendment replacing the table in Rural Development and Local Administration Department Notification No. II(2)/RUL/4114/74. That earlier notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 25 September 1974 and declared the Kumbakonam local planning area.
Areas covered by the proposed table
The proposed substituted table identifies revenue villages and local bodies in Kumbakonam Taluk, Papanasam Taluk and Thiruvidaimaruthur Taluk. It includes:
