This Act amends the 1994 law governing local self-government in Manipur, specifically updating how Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats handle the transfer of land and buildings. It mandates a strict process for leasing or selling property, requiring a two-thirds majority vote, government approval, and public notice periods. The new rules ensure transparency by requiring market rate determination, clearance from relevant departments, and a public lottery for allotment. Additionally, it limits lease terms to three years to prevent long-term monopolies, giving the state government greater control over local property management.
