The Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Saturday passed the Lift and Escalator Bill, 2024 and Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Bill, registration will be mandatory for the installation of lifts and escalators in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta Bill, a provision has been made to reduce the tenure of the anti-corruption ombudsman from eight years to five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on the Lift and Escalator Bill, Energy Minister Arvind Kumar Sharma cited an incident that took place in Noida, in which MLAs Dhirendra Singh and Pankaj Singh had demanded a law for lifts and escalators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharma further informed that apart from a mandatory registration for installing lifts and escalators in public, the concerned person has to inform the authority immediately in case of an accident. A provision has also been made for insurance and compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bill, which will be an Act now, seeks to get approval from the Energy Department for the installation of lifts and escalators. The Bill makes it mandatory for the agencies, that manufacture, install lifts and escalators, and maintain them, to register with the Director of Electrical Safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bill further directed that the approval must be renewed every five years and also have to be tested every year. A fee of Rs 1,500 needs to be deposited for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine will be imposed on the concerned person If they disobey the orders and ignore to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal and Haryana already have laws for installing lifts but there was no such law for it in UP, said Sharma while describing the Bill as the need of the hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The implementation of the Bill will not only curb the accident but also strengthen the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While speaking on the Bill, the BJP member Dhirender Singh thanked Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Energy Minister Sharma for making it possible. He said the Bill will prove to be a milestone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
