THE MANIPUR ROPEWAYS ACT, 2015

The Manipur Ropeways Act, 2015

General201537 sections

This Act regulates the construction, operation, and maintenance of ropeways, such as cable cars, in the state of Manipur. It applies to all promoters, including the government, local authorities, and private entities, as well as the general public who use these transport systems. The law matters because it establishes a licensing system and appoints inspectors to ensure that ropeways are safe, well-maintained, and operated according to strict standards. By doing so, it protects the lives and safety of passengers and prevents accidents associated with these transport structures.
