Bare Act

The Uttrakhand Reforms, Regularization, Rehabilitation and Resettlement and Prevention of Encroachment of the Slums located in the Urban Local Bodies of the State Act

This law provides a framework for improving, legalizing, and relocating recognized slums across all urban areas in Uttarakhand. It applies to residents living in officially notified slums that lack basic services, health protections, or land ownership rights. Crucially, the law prohibits any new slum settlements or encroachments formed after March 11, 2016, imposing six months of imprisonment and daily fines on anyone who illegally occupies land or helps others settle. By granting the state government powers to make rehabilitation rules while heavily penalizing new illegal settlements, the Act aims to balance humanitarian housing support with strict control over urban land encroachment.
