The Himachal Pradesh Roadside Land Control Act, 1968
The Himachal Pradesh Roadside Land Control Act, 1968
This law regulates land use along public roads in Himachal Pradesh by designating specific areas as "controlled" zones, typically within five meters of scheduled roads. It restricts individuals from erecting, re-erecting, or modifying buildings, excavating land, or creating access routes in these zones without prior permission from the local Collector. The legislation aims to prevent unauthorized encroachment and ensure orderly development along state highways. While it permits certain repairs and specific structures like fuel stations with proper authorization, the Act serves as a legal framework to manage roadside land effectively and maintain public infrastructure safety.
