Who may be affected
Government Order (Rt.) No. 381 is relevant to cultivators, agricultural landowners and irrigation administrators concerned with land served by the listed channels during the approved 2007 cultivation period. Whether a particular property falls within a direct or indirect ayacut cannot be determined from this document alone because it contains no parcel level details.
The document records an irrigation water release. It does not state that it transfers ownership, changes land classification, fixes property boundaries or grants development permission. Property buyers should therefore treat it as evidence of a historical irrigation decision, not as proof of title or of a particular parcel's inclusion in an ayacut.
