https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=38534 The Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is criticised for centralising disaster governance by redefining "disaster response" and modifying NDRF allocation processes, which may increase central control over funds and operations and reduce state autonomy. Additional criticisms include the bill's failure to mandate disaster risk assessment for new infrastructure, the omission of enforceable legal rights to disaster relief and compensation, and inadequate statutory focus on prevention and guaranteed funding for states. Supporters counter that the bill modernises the framework, strengthens NDMA-led planning, and enhances preparedness and coordination across levels of government. en-us Tue, 25 Mar 2025 18:31:02 +0530 Tue, 25 Mar 2025 18:31:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=38534 The Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is criticised for centralising disaster governance by redefining "disaster response" and modifying NDRF allocation processes, which may increase central control over funds and operations and reduce state autonomy.
