Lucknow: The Yogi government has issued a new Uttar Pradesh Public Interest Guarantee Act on Saturday.
In this act, CM Yogi Adityanath has instructed that the recognition of new schools will have to be issued within 60 days.
During a three-day session, the Yogi Adityanath-led government passed 27 bills in the state assembly including the Uttar Pradesh Security Force Bill and Uttar Pradesh Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Properties Bill, 2020.
UP assembly speaker Hriday Narayan Dixit said, “This three-day session was fruitful. In the last three days, a total of 138 petitions were received on which action will be taken. Most importantly, a record 27 bills were passed.”
These bills will now be sent to Governor Anandiben Patel for final approval. Earlier, the state government had implemented major ordinances after the outbreak of COVID-19 related to cuts in the salary of ministers, postponement of MLA funds, and legislators and preventing attacks on frontline workers.
The ordinances brought by the state government were required to get the approval of the Assembly under constitutional obligation.
Earlier in March, the governor had promulgated an ordinance for recovery of damages to public and private properties from rioters and protesters, and to provide the setting-up of tribunals to adjudicate claims for damages and recover them.
According to the statement of object and reasons (SOR) of the ordinance, it aims at dealing with "all acts of violence at public places and to control its persistence and escalation, and to provide for the recovery of damage to public or private property during hartal, bundh, riots, public commotion or protests."
