In a significant legislative development, six bills were officially transformed into law in Karnataka after receiving the Governor's approval on Monday, as per the state's latest gazette notification.

These laws span various sectors, including land management and revenue, animal feed regulations, and digital transactions, reflecting a comprehensive effort by the state to modernize and tighten governance structures. Among the prominent acts, the Karnataka Land Grabbing Prohibition (Amendment) Act stands out, aimed at protecting government land from illegal encroachments and holding revenue officials accountable.
