OULGARET MUNICIPALITY

Oulgaret (Uzhavarkarai) Municipality is located at the northeast of Pondicherry municipal limits. The Oulgaret Commune Panchayat came into existence by a French Metropolitan Decree dated March 12, 1880 and later on January 14, 1994 it was elevated to the status of a Municipality. The emblem of this municipality has the classical French arch with a house, water tank, street light and a road going through. Its motto in Tamil ‘சுத்தம் சுகாதாரம்’ meaning ‘Cleanliness Hygiene’ is written below. All these are ensconced in an oval with a border, on which its name and the name of the State are written.
