Infrastructure201122 sections

This act establishes Area Sabha and Ward Committees across Nagaland to ensure citizens actively participate in municipal governance. The law applies to all municipalities within the state, where local residents can engage in decision-making processes including setting priorities and budget allocations. By creating formal institutions like Sector Representatives and Ward Committees, the legislation bridges municipal governments with grassroots communities through participatory structures. This ensures more accountable and responsive local administration while giving ordinary citizens direct influence over public services and resource distribution in their areas.
