Two other BJP-ruled states, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have already enacted similar laws.
The Madhya Pradesh cabinet today approved a bill relating to recovery and redressal of damage to public and private properties during strikes, protests, communal riots, or any congregation of people. It allows for the recovery of damages from perpetrators.
The state cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday gave its nod to the proposed draft of Madhya Pradesh Lok Evam Niji Sampati Ka Nuksan Nivaran Evam Nusksani Ki Vasuli (Redressal and Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Properties) Bill 2021. The Bill will be introduced in the winter session of the Vidhan Sabha, starting from December 20.
Home minister Narottam Mishra, said, "The proposed Bill, after it becomes a law, will pave the passage for recovery of damages caused to public and private properties (during violent protests, processions, bandhs, strikes, and communal riots) from the protestors/rioters who caused the damages and from those who provoke protestors/rioters for causing the damage".
