### Extraordinary Issues
In addition to the regular weekly issues, the Gazette of India publishes "Extraordinary" issues.

These issues are often referenced with specific identifiers like "CG-MH-E-..." indicating their extraordinary nature and issuing authority/region.
## Content and Significance
The content published in the Gazette of India holds immense legal and administrative weight. It is the definitive source for:
* **New Laws and Amendments:** All Acts passed by Parliament and ordinances promulgated by the President are published here, making them legally binding.
* **Rules and Regulations:** Detailed rules and regulations framed by various ministries and departments to implement laws are notified through the Gazette.
* **Public Notices:** Important public announcements, such as land acquisition notices, changes in government policies, and calls for public comments on draft legislation.
