Under Entry 24 of the Union List of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, the central
government can make laws on shipping and navigation on inland waterways which are
classified as national waterways by Parliament by law.
Currently there are five inland waterways that are declared as national waterways under
five different laws.
The Bill identifies additional 101 waterways as national waterways. The Schedule of the
Bill also specifies the extent of development to be undertaken on each waterway.
The Bill repeals the five Acts that declare the existing national waterways. These five
national waterways are now covered under the Bill.
Thank you
