Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill 2024: The Central Government on Thursday introduced the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill 2024, which brings important changes in the Disaster Management Bill-2005, in the Lok Sabha. On behalf of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai introduced the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill 2024 in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. During the introduction of the bill in the House, there was a heated debate between the government and the opposition regarding the authority of the central government and the constitutionality of this bill. Congress MP Manish Tiwari opposed the introduction of this bill and said that it is not right according to the Constitution and interferes with the authority of the state government.
Opposition surrounded the government on the disaster management bill
Congress MP Manish Tiwari also said that in case of any kind of natural disaster, the local administration is the first to come forward for help. He also raised the issue of the jurisdiction of the central government regarding this. At the same time, TMC MP Saugata Roy also opposed the introduction of this bill and said that setting up more authorities will create confusion and due to this, relief and rescue work will also be affected during natural disasters. However, along with this, he also quipped that it is good that the government has not given any Hindi name to this bill as they give to all the bills. They are Bengalis and do not understand Hindi.
