The Uttar Pradesh government has approved the Uttar Pradesh Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Properties Bill, 2020 that has special provisions for putting up posters and hoardings of protesters and recovery of damages caused to public and private property during political agitation, protest and demonstration.
The bill will replace ordinance which was approved earlier by the state cabinet and the Raj Bhawan had given its assent to it.
The ordinance has empowered the government to put up hoardings and posters of protesters at public places and recover damages. The state government had earlier enacted the new law to recover damages to public property and name and shame the accused by putting up posters and hoardings at public places after the protests against the new citizenship law.
The state government proposes to table the bill to replace the ordinance in the monsoon session of the state legislature commencing from August 20 next.
The government in another order has withdrawn its earlier order to provide a STP land to police department
