G.O.(Ms).No.68, Inclusion of Additional Areas in Cuddalore Local Planning Area, 2017
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.68, dated 12 April 2017, declaring the Tamil Nadu Government's intention to include additional revenue villages in the Cuddalore Local Planning Area. The draft notification supersedes the earlier preliminary notification published on 22 October 2014 and replaces its table of proposed areas with a revised list.
What the document does
G.O.(Ms).No.68 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, dated 12 April 2017, publishes a fresh draft notification proposing additional areas for inclusion in the Cuddalore Local Planning Area. The proposal was revised by the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning in charge after deleting certain villages from the earlier proposal.
The notification supersedes preliminary notification No.II(2)/HOU/622/2014, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 22 October 2014. It proposes an amendment to the 1974 notification that constituted and declared the Cuddalore Local Planning Area.
Areas covered
The revised table identifies revenue villages and areas in Cuddalore Taluk, including:
- Melkuppam, Nallattur, Tukkanambakkam, Tennambakkam, Chellancheri, Kilkumaramangalam, Odalapattu, Pudukkadai, Vadapuram (Kilpadi) and Kilinjikkuppam.
- Singarakkudi, Nallavadu, Madalappattu, Kil Alinjippattu, Mel Alinjippattu, Nagappanur, Karanappattu, Pallippattu, Malaipperumal Agaram, Ullerippattu and Karaimedu.

Who should pay attention
The draft is relevant to inhabitants, local authorities and institutions in the listed areas. Property buyers and owners can use the table to check whether a location falls within the proposed expansion, but the notification records an intention and a draft amendment rather than stating that the amendment has received final approval.
Objections and publication
The draft amendment will be considered after two months from its publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. Written objections or suggestions received within that period must be considered by the Tamil Nadu Government and should be addressed to the Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort Saint George, Chennai 600 009.
The Collector of Cuddalore District must republish the notification in the District Gazette and report the republication date to the Government.
