G.O.(Ms.) No. 9, Salem Local Planning Area, 2018
The Government of Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O.(Ms.) No. 9 dated 19 January 2018, declaring the areas listed in its appended notification to be the Salem Local Planning Area. The government order amends the Housing and Urban Development Department notification published on 26 March 1997 by replacing its table of areas with an expanded table.
What the government order does
G.O.(Ms.) No. 9 dated 19 January 2018 confirms the inclusion of additional areas in the Salem Local Planning Area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The declaration follows an earlier notification of the Government's intention to add the Salem Steel Plant New Town Development Area and 96 other villages in non-planning areas.
The appended notification amends the Housing and Urban Development Department notification published on 26 March 1997. It substitutes a new table identifying the municipal area, revenue villages and other areas forming the Salem Local Planning Area.
Areas covered
The substituted table includes the following broad groups:
- Salem Municipal Area, Wards A to N, described as the old municipal area.
- Numerous revenue villages in Salem Taluk, including Kannankurichi, Ammapet, Hasthampatti, Suramangalam, Kondalampatti, Ilampillai, Mallur, Ayodhiyapattinam and Kanjamalai Reserved Forest.
- Nagarmalai Reserved Forest, Jalluttupatti Reserved Forest and Jerugumalai Reserved Forest.
- Villages in Omalur Taluk, including Omalur, Karuppur, Taramangalam, Danishpet and Kadayampatti.
- The Salem Steel Plant New Town Development Area and additional villages that were previously in non-planning areas.
The complete appended table should be checked because the same or similar village names appear more than once, including Andipatti, Ayyamperumalpatti, Kondalampatti, Reddipatti and Sandiyur.
