Per Hindu magazine today (http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/28/stories/2007122860350300.htm), Navalpattu along with Panayakurichi, Keezha Mullaikudi, Kuvalakudi, Agaram, Cholamadevi, Gundur, Chozhanganallur, Nachikurichi, Keezhakurichi, Kambarasampettai and Malliampathu are to be brought under the Corporation.

The villages are now under the Tiruverambur, Manikandam and Andhanallur unions. The population of these villages range from a minimum of about 2,293 (Kuvalakudi) to 30,000 (Agaram).

Once the merger is through, the Tiruchi Corporation land area would increase to 223.23 square kilometres from 146.90 sq.km. The population (as per the 1991 census) would increase to 8.60 lakh from 7.52 lakh. The council resolution would be forwarded to the government for follow-up action.
