The Arunachal Pradesh Heritage Act, 2015
The Arunachal Pradesh Heritage Act, 2015, regulates the conservation and protection of heritage sites, buildings, streets, and natural areas of historic, cultural, or environmental significance across the state. This law applies to all property owners, lessees, and developers who own or manage listed assets. It matters because it creates a state Heritage Authority empowered to identify, grade, and protect these locations from unauthorized construction or demolition. By mandating strict development controls, municipal compliance, and conservation plans, the legislation successfully safeguards the unique cultural legacy, historical environment, and scenic natural landscapes of Arunachal Pradesh for the benefit of all future generations.
