INTRODUCTION
The Old Thanjavur District which was bearing the brunt of communal riots and labour disputes was subjected to bifurcation in view of many events that took place elsewhere in the District exhorting the appointment of Police commission and subsequent bifurcation on their recommendations. It was bifurcated in to 2 as Thanjavur West and Thanjavur East (renamed as Nagai-Quaid-E-Milleth District) on 1.1.1971 as per GO 2343/Home dated 13.9.61 R/W 3162/Home Dated 13.9.61. Again there was regrouping of Districts mainly because of Communal unrest and inability to nip the problems in the bud with the location of villages like Muthupettai etc. far away from District Headquarters. Nagai Quaid-e-Milleth District was again divided in to 2 as Nagapattinam and Thiruvarur District as per GO 561/97 dated 17.4.97.
The coastal stretch running by the side of Bay of Bengal to a length of about 186 Kms with 20 Kms within the union territory of Pondicherry was subjected to smuggling activities in the past when Kankesanthurai located about 30 Kms away from Kodiyakkarai with in the Jaffna, Penisula was under the control of LTTE and even this was a transit point of Arms and ammunitions smuggled from Singapore and Eastern countries.
There are 10 Coastal check posts in the Districts to have a check on such movement and watchtower at Kodiyakkarai. The Srilankan Army has control over Jaffna Penisula and this has stood on the way of LTTE from continuing their virulent activities.
