Jharkhand Governor Draupadi Murmu has given assent to the Jharkhand Religious Freedom Bill-2017 along with Land Acquisition Bill-2017. She approved both the bills yesterday.
The state government will now issue notification on the Religious Freedom Bill, after which it will become an Act, while Land Acquisition Bill will be sent before the President of India for final approval. Both the Bills were passed by the State Assembly last month during Monsoon session.
