URGING the Centre to withdraw the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill 2024, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said that it would bring greater centralisation of power in the hands of the Centre.
The bill was moved by Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai for consideration and passage in the Lok Sabha.
Initiating the debate on the bill, Tharoor said that the Centre rejected Kerala government's demand for declaring the rains, floods and landslides in Wayanad, that took place in July, as a national disaster.
He claimed that the legislation is constitutionally untenable as it lacks on various fronts, is "ill thought out", and will lead to "overlapping".
