The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O.Ms.No.154 dated 13 October 2014, declaring the Government of Tamil Nadu's intention to include additional areas in the Theni Allinagaram local planning area.

What the document does
The Housing and Urban Development Department's G.O.Ms.No.154 dated 13 October 2014 records the Government of Tamil Nadu's intention to expand the Theni Allinagaram local planning area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The proposal came from the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning.
The notification contains a draft amendment replacing the table in the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 17 April 1974. It therefore describes a proposed change and provides a period for objections and suggestions.
