The Finance Department concurred with the approval through its communication dated 14 February 2023.
Scheme covered
G.O. (Ms.) No.13 relates to Phase-I of the Periyar Ninaivu Samathuvapuram Housing Scheme renovation programme. An earlier government order had financially sanctioned the repair or reconstruction of 14,880 houses in 149 old Samathuvapurams during 2021-2022, together with detailed guidelines.
