What the government approved
Government Order Ms. No. 179 of the Government of Tamil Nadu, Public Works (Y2) Department, dated 2 June 2008, approves construction of an additional Circuit House with five suites at Thoothukudi.

The existing Circuit House is near the port, which the Chief Engineer (Buildings) described as a largely polluted area. The proposed additional building is intended to be within the Master Plan Complex at Thoothukudi.
