The Sikkim Aerial Ropeways Act, 2023

The Sikkim Aerial Ropeways Act, 2023, establishes a comprehensive legal framework for the construction, operation, and maintenance of aerial ropeways across the state of Sikkim. It mandates strict safety standards, requiring government sanction and regular inspections by appointed experts before any ropeway can open to the public. The Act empowers the State Government to oversee promoters, manage land acquisition, and ensure public safety through no-fault liability provisions for accidents. For citizens, this legislation ensures that ropeway services are regulated, safe, and accountable, providing clear mechanisms for compensation in the event of mishaps or property damage.
