Infrastructure19904 sections

This law applies to the local governance of Bhubaneswar in the state of Odisha, specifically addressing the postponement of local municipal elections. It retroactively validates the delay in holding elections to reconstitute the Bhubaneswar Municipal Council and sets a deadline of December 31, 1990, for conducting them under the state municipal framework. Additionally, it protects the Special Officer appointed to manage municipal affairs from legal liability for failing to conduct elections on time. By granting legal protection to all official acts and decisions made during this interim period, the law ensures administrative continuity and prevents legal challenges against the municipality's operations.
