The Odisha River Pollution Prevention (Repeal) Act, 1983

The Odisha River Pollution Prevention (Repeal) Act, 1983

This Act repeals the Orissa River Pollution Prevention Act of 1983, which was an earlier law aimed at preventing pollution in rivers within the state of Orissa (now Odisha). By repealing this earlier legislation, the Act effectively removes the legal framework that was previously in place to regulate and prevent river pollution in the state. This repeal suggests that the state legislature has decided to replace or modify the existing pollution prevention measures, possibly to align with newer environmental regulations or to address gaps in the previous law. The Act likely applies to all individuals, organizations, and industries operating within Orissa that were previously subject to the repealed legislation.
