The Nagaland Essential Services (Maintenance) Act, 1978 (First Amendment) Act, 2017

General19788 sections

This Amendment Act was enacted on 21 December 2017 and formally published in the Gazette of Nagaland on 15 February 2018. Its purpose is to amend the Principal Nagaland Essential Services (Maintenance) Act, 1978. While the full operational text of the amendment is not provided here, this document establishes the official short title of the modified law and signals the legal transition of the 1978 Act into its revised form ratified by the Governor. For an ordinary citizen, this matters because it ensures that the legal mandate to keep vital government and civic services—such as electricity, water, and public transport—running smoothly in Nagaland remains legally enforceable and formally current.
