 READING:

India's government will cancel 287 out-of-date laws that date back to British rule in the 19th century. India's Law Minister is cleaning up India's legal system. The Prime Minister told him to streamline laws to make it easier to live and do business in India. India has hundreds of strange laws introduced by the British. Some laws are "laughable" and have "no place in a modern and democratic India". India will still have many laws that get in the way of business.

The laws will go in November. It will then be legal to fly a kite without police permission. A 1934 law said a kite was an aircraft. Factory owners will no longer have to have red buckets of water and sand for fires. Another strange law to go is the Motor Vehicles Act. This says a safety inspector must have clean teeth. The end of the Registration of Foreigners' Act means foreigners can move freely. This should boost India's tourism industry.
