The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, through G.O.Ms.No.149 dated 20 June 2013, declares the Government of Tamil Nadu's intention to include additional areas in the Tuticorin Local Planning Area.

What the document does
G.O.Ms.No.149 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, dated 20 June 2013, declares an intention to expand the Tuticorin Local Planning Area. The proposal followed a request from the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning based on population and industrial growth in and around the planning area.
The notification contains a draft amendment that would replace the table in the earlier Housing and Urban Development Department notification. It does not record final approval of the proposed inclusion. The draft is to be considered after two months from its publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Areas covered by the proposed table
The proposed replacement table identifies revenue villages in three taluks:
- Tuticorin Taluk: Melathattaparai, Kilathattaparai, Kulayankavaisal, Korampallam, Maravanmadam, Kumaragiri, Senthilamppannai, Therkosilukkampatti, Muthuswamipuram, Vadakkusilukkampatti, Ayyanodippu, Milavittan (Part), Sankarapari (Part), Polipanjankulam, Muppilaiurani, Tuticorin (Part), Mullaakkadu, Kuttutankadu, Mudittananndal, Varttakareddipetti, Kattalankulam and Servaikaran madam.

Who should pay attention
The draft amendment is relevant to inhabitants, landowners and institutions in the listed revenue villages, as well as the local authorities responsible for those areas. A person dealing with property in a village marked as only partly included would need to establish whether the particular land falls within the proposed area.

It must reach the Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort Saint George, Chennai 600 009, before two months expire from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
The Collector of Tuticorin District must republish the notification in the District Gazette and report the republication date to the Government. The Director of Translation must arrange a Tamil translation for forwarding to the Collector.
