General200429 sections

The Kangla Fort Act, 2004 establishes a formal system to administer, protect, and preserve the historical Kangla Fort site in Imphal, Manipur. It applies to government officials, cultural experts, and the public by creating the autonomous Kangla Fort Board, chaired by the Chief Minister of Manipur, to manage the site's daily operations, ceremonies, and repairs. Crucially, the law strictly prohibits selling, leasing, or transferring any land or structures within the fort to private entities or organizations. This legislation matters because it secures the long-term protection, cultural sanctity, and public ownership of a central historical and heritage monument of Manipur.
