The Manipur Highways Act, 1979

This law manages the development, maintenance, and use of public roads throughout the state of Manipur to ensure safety and efficiency for commuters and vehicles. It establishes laws regarding road transport, specifically targeting the prevention of ribbon development and unauthorized occupation of highway land. The act matters because it provides a legal framework for developers and landowners to follow, prohibits encroachments that can block traffic or damage infrastructure, and allows the government to tax increased land values arising from new public road projects, thereby promoting orderly and sustainable growth.
