This Act empowers the government to plan and execute development schemes in areas of Jammu and Kashmir that have been devastated by natural calamities like fire, floods, or earthquakes. It allows the government to control land use, regulate construction, and acquire property for public improvement projects. The law mandates that any construction in these designated areas must comply with government-approved schemes, and unauthorized structures can be demolished. It also streamlines the land acquisition process for these projects and provides legal protection for officials acting in good faith. Essentially, it is a tool for post-disaster urban planning and reconstruction.
