CMHO, RTO, DEO and Revenue Officer change with routine transfers and lack a single live public roster we can verify weekly, so we link directly to each department rather than print a name that could be wrong.
SP, CMHO, RTO, DEO and Revenue Officer postings are reshuffled often by the TN Government. We link to the live official portal for each role rather than printing a name that could be outdated.

Industrial Pollution
The SIPCOT Cuddalore chemical industrial estate — home to 50+ chemical units — has a long-documented record of effluent discharge into the Uppanar River and groundwater; a 2022 RTI investigation by community monitors found at least 19 of 58 monitored emission stacks had no set pollution threshold limits, and air-quality monitoring stations had been non-functional for over a year.
