Bare Act
The Manipur Municipality Community Participation Act, 2010
The Manipur Municipality Community Participation Act, 2010 regulates the formation and operation of Ward Development Committees in Manipur's municipal areas. Applying to local residents, elected municipal ward councillors, and nominated civil society representatives, this specific law establishes neighborhood committees to draft budgets, plan public infrastructure, and manage essential services like sanitation and waste collection. This legislation matters because it decentralizes municipal governance, giving everyday citizens a direct voice in local planning, decision-making, and budgeting processes. By allowing communities to retain half of their revenues for local project implementation, the act strengthens grassroots democracy, public accountability, and active community-led urban development.
