Kohima, 23 March (MTNews): Nagaland Fire & Emergency Services Bill was introduced in the assembly by the Nagaland government on Friday.
According to Chief Minister Rio, Nagaland has seen tremendous growth in infrastructural development in urban areas and has noticed major fire incidents and other hazards including losses of human lives and properties but there is absence of regulations to monitor life and fire safety measures.
“In order to minimize these incidents and hazards and save the citizens of the state, some regulations are required,” Rio said while speaking on the bill.
The chief minister also introduced the Nagaland Goods and Services Tax (Sixth Amendment) Bill to make the law in sync with the central legislation.
According to the assembly Speaker Sharingain Longkumer, the consideration and passing of the bills would be taken up on 27 March.
