This law protects ancient buildings, ruins, and historical sites in Arunachal Pradesh that are at least 100 years old. It applies to the whole state and covers everything from old structures and caves to artifacts and inscriptions. The government can officially declare specific sites as protected areas to stop them from being damaged. This ensures that the rich history and culture of the region are preserved for future generations, while excluding sites already covered by national laws. It gives the state government the power to manage and maintain these important historical locations effectively.
