General20063 sections

The Lushai Hills District (Village Councils) (Amendment) Act, 2011, is a legislative update to the existing framework governing local governance in the Lushai Hills District. Its primary purpose is to restructure the composition of Village Councils by linking the number of elected members to the specific number of households in a village, ensuring that representation scales with population growth. Additionally, the Act formalizes the financial administration of these councils by establishing a "Village Council Fund" and explicitly empowering councils to collect property taxes, subject to State Government guidelines. This legislation is essential for residents as it clarifies local administrative structures and provides a legal basis for local resource mobilization and financial transparency.
