General196325 sections
This regulation applies to the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to manage land improvement schemes focused on soil conservation and preventing erosion. It empowers the Chief Commissioner to declare specific areas as notified areas where activities like farming, quarrying, and tree cutting can be restricted or prohibited to protect the land. The law establishes committees to oversee these schemes and requires the publication of proclamations in local villages. If the government restricts a person's rights to use their land, the regulation provides a legal process for that person to claim compensation for the loss.
