Final Survey Notification (ந.க.அ6/992/2023, dated 04.11.2023)
The Chengalpattu District administration issued Final Survey Notification number ந.க.அ6/992/2023, dated November 4, 2023, to finalise survey records for Vadakkuputhur and its hamlet, Veppankaranai, in Madurantakam Taluk. It keeps the Vadakkuputhur Natham survey numbers unchanged, renumbers specified Veppankaranai Natham fields to avoid duplicate numbers during computerisation, and requires the revised numbers to be used in records and pattas.
What the notification does
Final Survey Notification number ந.க.அ6/992/2023, dated November 4, 2023, concerns the Natham settlement survey of Vadakkuputhur and its hamlet, Veppankaranai, in Madurantakam Taluk, Chengalpattu District. Separate surveys were completed and records were prepared, but the two villages had identical field numbers, creating a problem when the Natham records were computerised.
The notification makes the survey record final and directs how the field numbers must be maintained.
