The Manipur (Village Authorities in Hill Areas) (Amendment) Act, 1984

The Manipur (Village Authorities in Hill Areas) Amendment Act, 1984 modifies the primary law governing local administration across hill districts in the state of Manipur. By substituting the word three with five in section 6 of the 1956 parent Act, this amendment increases the term duration for members serving on local Village Authorities from three years to five years. It applies to local governance bodies, community officials, and residents of hill villages in Manipur. This change matters because extending elected terms offers local leaders more time to plan and execute long-term development projects, providing administrative stability and better continuity.
