The Mizoram Municipalities (Amendment) Act, 2009

Infrastructure200930 sections

This Act amends urban governance laws in Mizoram to streamline the structure, elections, and responsibilities of municipal bodies. It applies to urban local authorities, elected councillors, municipal electors, and state government officials across Mizoram. The law lowers population thresholds for forming municipalities, outlines five-year terms for councils, and mandates reserved seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and women. It details core civic responsibilities including water supply, waste management, road maintenance, and local planning, while allowing traditional local councils at the ward level. By establishing clear administrative procedures and structural frameworks, it strengthens democratic representation and local civic administration.
