G.O.(Ms).No.116, Addition of Certain Villages in Thoothukudi Local Planning Area
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued Government Order G.O.(Ms).No.116 dated 16 June 2022, confirming the inclusion of specified revenue villages in the Thoothukudi Local Planning Area. The order amends an earlier Housing and Urban Development Department notification by replacing its table of covered revenue villages. It is relevant to owners, buyers and professionals checking whether land in the listed villages falls within the Thoothukudi Local Planning Area.
What the order does
Government Order G.O.(Ms).No.116 dated 16 June 2022 confirms the addition of specified revenue villages to the Thoothukudi Local Planning Area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department made the change after the Director of Town and Country Planning reported that no public objections or suggestions had been received.
The appended notification replaces the table in the earlier Housing and Urban Development Department notification with a new table identifying the revenue villages within the local planning area.
Areas covered
The replacement table includes the following areas:
- Thoothukudi Corporation: Korampallam Part-II, Meelavittan Part-I, Meelavittan Part-II, Sankaraperi, Pulipanchankulam, Thoothukudi Part-I, Thoothukudi Part-II and Mullakadu Part-I.
- Thoothukudi Taluk: Melathattaparai, Keelathattaparai, Koothudankadu, Mudivaithanendal, Varthagareddipatti, Kattalankulam, Servaikaranmadam, Kulaiankarisal, Korampallam Part-I, Maravanmatam, Kumaragiri, Senthilampannai, Therku Sillukkanpatti, Muthusamypuram, Vadakku Sillukkanpatti, Ayyanadaippu, Mappillaiyurani and Mullakkadu Part-II.

Who should check it
Government Order G.O.(Ms).No.116 is relevant to a buyer, owner, developer or property professional dealing with land in any listed revenue village. Particular attention should be paid to village names carrying Part-I or Part-II descriptions, because the table identifies those parts separately.
