226 TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARYEXPLANATORY STATEMENT.
Among the 49 Third Grade Municipalities in the State of Tamil Nadu, 12 Third Grade Municipalities were annexed with the Municipal Corporations of Tiruppur, Erode, Vellore and Chennai in G.O.(Ms)No.154, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, dated the 9th August 2010 and thereafter 36 Third Grade Municipalities were reclassifi ed into various grades of Municipalities at various points of time. Lastly, Melvisharam Third Grade Municipality was upgraded to that of Second Grade Municipality in G.O.(Ms) No.9, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, dated the 5th January 2011. As on date, there is no Third Grade Municipality in this State. Hence, the provisions governing the Third Grade Municipalities in the Tamil Nadu District Municipalities Act, 1920 (Tamil Nadu Act V of 1920) have become redundant and the said Act needs to be amended for the purpose.
Accordingly, the Government have decided to amend the said Tamil Nadu Act V of 1920 suitably.
2. The Ordinance seeks to give effect to the above decision.
