Public-Private Property Damage Act approved in Uttarakhand; Now fine will have to be paid for causing damage to property, see what CM Dhami tweeted…

The Uttarakhand government has taken a big step towards tightening the noose against those who are spreading mischief. The damage caused to public property during riots and unrest will be recovered from those who caused the damage. A claims tribunal will be constituted for this. In the meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday, the Cabinet has given its approval to make a law related to this.

Protestors damage public properties during strikes, bandhs, disturbances or protests etc. This also causes damage to government and private properties. Till now there was no concrete system in Uttarakhand to compensate for this. Uttarakhand government will now take strict action against those who riot and spread unrest.

An important decision regarding this was taken in the state cabinet meeting held today. Under this, in case a case is registered for causing damage to government or private property, the Circle Officer will send his report to the concerned District Magistrate. The Claims Tribunal constituted by the District Magistrate will assess the loss through the Court Commissioner. After which recovery will be made from the concerned person under this law.

“The Cabinet has approved the constitution of a Special Tribunal during the Cabinet meeting today with a view to strictly crack down on cases of rioting and unrest. The damage caused to public property during the riots will be compensated by the rioters themselves. Those who disturb the peace of the state will have to pay a heavy price and will set an example which will be remembered for years by the generations of rioters who tarnished the sacred land of Devbhoomi.”
