In Haryana, Law For Recovery Of Damage To Property During Protests

A law which allows the authorities to recover compensation from violent protesters who cause damage to property has come into effect in Haryana. Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said on Wednesday that the Act was notified by the state government earlier this month. "With the implementation of the Act in the state, any damage done to people's shops, houses, government offices, vehicles, buses and other public property in guise of any movement will be recovered from the protesters," he said, as per an official statement. The statement of the Home Minister holds relevance since the state has seen frequent run-ins with the farm protesters in the last six months.
