G.O. (Ms.) No. 15, Inclusion of Additional Areas in Pattukkottai Local Planning Area, 2022
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 15, dated 6 April 2022, proposing to add seven revenue villages to the Pattukkottai Local Planning Area. It proposes an amendment to the 1974 notification that created the planning area, and invites affected inhabitants, local authorities and institutions to submit written objections or suggestions before final action is taken.
What the government proposes
The Housing and Urban Development Department, through G.O. (Ms.) No. 15, dated 6 April 2022, proposes to expand the Pattukkottai Local Planning Area by adding seven revenue villages. The proposal would amend the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 17 April 1974 that declared the Pattukkottai Local Planning Area.
The notification is a proposal, not the final inclusion of the additional villages. The Government states that objections and suggestions received within the allowed period will be considered before further action is taken.
Areas covered by the proposal
The proposed addition covers the following revenue villages:
- Revenue Village No. 79, Santhankidu.
- Revenue Village No. 12, Aladikkumulai.
- Revenue Village No. 18, Soorapallam.
- Revenue Village No. 71, Ponnavarayankottai Ukkadai.
- Revenue Village No. 70, Ponnavarayankottai.
- Revenue Village No. 121, Mudhaltheri.
- Revenue Village No. 120, Nainankulam.
The proposal concerns whether these villages should become part of the Pattukkottai Local Planning Area. The source does not change land ownership, identify individual survey numbers, prescribe fees or approve any particular development.
Who may be affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 15 may be relevant to inhabitants, property owners, buyers, institutions and local authorities in the seven listed revenue villages. Anyone checking a property should confirm the revenue village in which the property is situated, because the notification identifies areas by village name and number.

Key requirements are:
- The submission must be in writing.
