The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (M.C.II) Department issued G.O. (D) No. 561 dated 13 November 2013, releasing Rs.1.96 crore from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund to Salem Municipal Corporation for approach roads at Oxford Bridge and Gunpoint Bridge.

What the government order does
G.O. (D) No. 561 dated 13 November 2013, issued by the Municipal Administration and Water Supply (M.C.II) Department, releases Rs.1.96 crore to Salem Municipal Corporation for forming approach roads at Oxford Bridge and Gunpoint Bridge. The money comes from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund.
An earlier government order had already granted administrative sanction for Salem Municipal Corporation to acquire land and form the two approach roads under phase II of the Thirumanimutharu and Vellakottai Channel Development Scheme. It had also sanctioned the same amount from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund.
Land covered by the road works
The Commissioner of Salem Corporation reported the following land requirements:
- 6,921 square feet near Oxford Bridge.
- 4,187 square feet near Gunpoint Bridge.
- Possession of the total required land had been taken.
- The land acquisition process had been completed and registered.
The document is therefore a fund release for identified road works after the reported completion of land acquisition. It does not announce a general planning rule, development restriction or change of land use for other properties in Salem.
Financial and administrative arrangements
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (M.C.II) Department specifies the government accounts through which the expenditure must be recorded and adjusted. It also states that necessary additional funds would be provided in the Revised Estimates or Final Modified Appropriation for 2013 to 2014.
Pending that provision:
- The Commissioner of Town and Country Planning was authorised to draw the sanctioned amount.
