Bill To Check Thugs In Bengal Assembly On Today, Allows Preventive Detention
A bill meant to address the law and order situation in the state by targeting anti-social elements will be tabled in the assembly on Monday. The new BJP government led by Suvendu Adhikari believes that existing laws are inadequate to deal with organised anti-social activities. The West Bengal Public Safety and Control of Anti-Social Activities Bill, 2026, is essentially a preventive detention law, similar in structure to laws like the National Security Act.
