Section 54
Continuance of arrangements in regard to generation and supply of electric power and supply of water.
The North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971
About this Act
An Act to provide for the establishment of the States of Manipur and Tripura and to provide for the formation of the State of Meghalaya and of the Union territories of Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh by reorganisation of the existing State of Assam and for matters connected therewith.
If it appears to the Central Government that the arrangement in regard to the generation
or supply of electric power or the supply of water for any area or in regard to the execution of any project
for such generation or supply has been or is likely to be modified to the disadvantage of that area by
reason of the fact that it is, by virtue of the provisions of Part II, outside the State in which the power
stations and other installations for the generation and supply of such power, or the catchment area,
reservoirs and other works for the supply of water, as the case may be, are located, the Central
Government may give such directions as it deems fit, to the State Government or other authority
concerned for the maintenance, so far as practicable, of the previous arrangement.
