G.O. (Ms.) No. 125, Addition of Certain Villages in Nagercoil Local Planning Area, 2019
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 125 dated 27 August 2019 to amend the description of the Nagercoil Local Planning Area confirmed through G.O. (Ms.) No. 99 dated 16 July 2018. It replaces the incorrect expression “Kanyakumari Municipality” with “Kanyakumari Town Panchayat”, without removing the listed area from the Nagercoil Local Planning Area.
What the government orders do
G.O. (Ms.) No. 99 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, dated 16 July 2018, confirms the area listed in its notification as the Nagercoil Local Planning Area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. It substitutes a new table of revenue villages and local body areas in the earlier Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification.
G.O. (Ms.) No. 125 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, dated 27 August 2019, amends that table. The later order corrects the local body description from “Kanyakumari Municipality” to “Kanyakumari Town Panchayat”.
Areas covered
The table confirmed by G.O. (Ms.) No. 99 identifies Nagercoil as the local planning area and includes places in:
- Agasteeswaram Taluk, including Theroor, Suchindram, Parakkal, Thengampudur, Dharmapuram, Vadiveeswaram, Nagercoil, Vadasery, Neendakarai, Madhusoothanapuram, Vembanoor, Marungoor, Eraviputhoor, Kulasekarapuram, Azhagappapuram, Kottaram, Thamaraikulam and Agasteeswaram.
- Kalkulam Taluk, including Aloor, Kadiyapattinam, Manavalakurichy, Lekshmipuram, Thalakulam Village, Kurunthen Code, Eraniel and Villukury.
- Thovalai Taluk, including Erachakulam, Thiruppathisaram, Thazhagudy, Chenbagaraman puthur and Chovalai.
- Areas identified under Kanyakumari Town Panchayat, following the correction made in 2019.
The 2018 order also records that “15 + 16 Neendakarai” belongs under Agasteeswaram Taluk and that Thiruppathisaram was corrected from Agasteeswaram Taluk to Thovalai Taluk.
Who may be affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 99 and G.O. (Ms.) No. 125 are relevant to owners, buyers and professionals dealing with property in the places included in the substituted table. The earlier government decision also amalgamated Kanyakumari Local Planning Area with Nagercoil Local Planning Area and directed that the rules, orders, regulations, directions and powers operating in Nagercoil Local Planning Authority apply to the Kanyakumari Local Planning Area.
The notifications were directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette and republished in English and Tamil in the Kanyakumari District Gazette.
