General198023 sections

The Nagaland Livestock and Poultry Contagious Diseases Act, 1980 provides a legal framework to prevent and control the spread of infectious animal diseases across Nagaland. It applies to livestock owners, animal handlers, traders, and state veterinary authorities. The law empowers the government to declare infected areas, regulate animal movement routes, establish quarantine stations, and enforce mandatory vaccinations, isolation, and proper carcass disposal. By establishing strict control measures, quarantine protocols, and penalties for non-compliance, this legislation safeguards animal health, protects agricultural livelihoods, and prevents devastating disease outbreaks from spreading among domestic animals and poultry throughout the state.
