The Gujarat Municipal Laws (Amendment) Act, 1962

Infrastructure19626 sections

This Act amends two historic municipal laws in Gujarat to formally include the duty of promoting economic and industrial development. Specifically, it modifies the Bombay District Municipal Act of 1901 and the Bombay Municipal Boroughs Act of 1925, ensuring these powers apply to the Saurashtra and Kutch regions. The addition of new clauses to key sections allows local authorities to take a proactive role in managing growth, granting them the legal standing to actively support business development and economic strategies within their cities and towns.
