In a bid to curb the rising incidents of property damage during protests, the Uttarakhand government is set to introduce the `Uttarakhand Public and Private Property Damage Recovery Bill` during the upcoming budget session starting from February 26. This legislation aims to hold miscreants accountable for their actions by recovering losses incurred during protests and strikes directly from those accused of causing the disturbance.

Under the proposed bill, a comprehensive mechanism will be put in place to calculate and recuperate damages inflicted upon both government and private properties during public demonstrations. To facilitate this process, a tribunal will be established, presided over by a retired judge. This move reflects the government`s commitment to ensuring responsible conduct during protests while providing a legal framework for the recovery of losses sustained by public and private entities.

The tribunal`s role will extend beyond a mere adjudicatory function; it will actively work towards determining the extent of damages, identifying the individuals responsible, and facilitating the recovery process. This approach emphasizes a fair and structured methodology to address the aftermath of protests, striking a balance between the right to peaceful assembly and the protection of public and private assets.

By introducing this legislation, the Uttarakhand government aims to instill a sense of responsibility among protesters and deter potential acts of vandalism. The bill is expected to be a focal point of discussions during the upcoming budget session, with stakeholders scrutinizing its provisions and potential implications on the dynamics of public demonstrations within the state.
