Manipur: Cabinet approves Fire Service ordinance, State Climate Centre, Zoning Reforms

Imphal, Jul 14 (UNI) The Manipur Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, today approved a series of key policy decisions aimed at strengthening fire safety, improving the ease of doing business and advancing climate resilience in the state.
Among the major decisions, the Cabinet approved the promulgation of the Manipur Fire and Emergency Service Ordinance, 2026, which will replace and update the existing legal framework governing fire safety and emergency services in the state according to state information office. The proposed ordinance seeks to modernise fire safety regulations in line with present-day requirements while simplifying procedures for citizens and institutions seeking fire safety-related services and clearances. The move is expected to improve the efficiency of the Manipur Fire Service and promote greater compliance with safety standards in residential, commercial and industrial establishments.
The Cabinet also approved amendments to the Unified Zoning/Use Regulation Bye-Laws for the Master Plan Areas of Manipur, 2026, as part of the state's efforts to promote the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB). The amendments are intended to streamline development regulations, simplify approval processes and facilitate planned urban growth. The revised bye-laws are expected to make it easier for investors, businesses, developers and property owners to obtain necessary permissions while ensuring orderly land use and sustainable urban development.
