The Indian Forest (Tripura Third Amendment) Act, 1990

Environmental19902 sections

This law amends the Indian Forest Act to increase fines for violations. It changes the penalties in Section 68, raising the fines from 100 and 50 rupees to 1,500 and 5,000 rupees respectively. This applies to anyone who breaks forest laws in Tripura. The change matters because it makes penalties much stricter, discouraging illegal activities like cutting trees or encroaching on forest land by making the financial consequences significantly higher.
