The Rajya Sabha passed three Bills on Wednesday unopposed, after Opposition members walked out protesting the denial of an adjournment motion over the violence in Manipur.
The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill that allows private players to explore for atomic minerals, the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill that exempts land within 100 kilometres of the country’s borders from the purview of conservation laws and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill that decriminalises several provisions in commercial laws to help “ease of doing business” are the three Bills which passed without much debate.
