Who may be affected
Property buyers, owners and professionals dealing with land in or around Kaghithapuram may need to determine whether a property falls within the area declared as the New Town site. The supplied text does not include the appended table or its boundaries, so it is not possible from this text alone to identify individual survey numbers, villages or parcels covered by the declaration.
