Infrastructure196622 sections

This law empowers the Nagaland government to take control of road transport services to serve the public interest. It establishes a State Road Transport Board and defines key terms like public service vehicles and transport routes. The government can issue notifications to run these services, either exclusively or in partnership with others, and create detailed schemes to manage routes, vehicle types, and passenger convenience. The Act also allows the state to modify existing permits and handle objections, ensuring that transport operations are organized, efficient, and accessible to the general public.
