Lawgist138Power to require owners to improve bad drainage
Whenever any land, being private property or within any private enclosure, appears to the Nagar Panchayat or the Council by want of drainage to be in a state injurious to health or offensive to the neighbourhood, or by reason of inequalities of a surface to afford facilities for the commission of a nuisance, the Nagar Panchayat or the Council may require the owner or the occupier of such land or both within fifteen days, to drain such land or level surface:
Provided that, if for the purpose of effecting any drainage under this section it shall be necessary to acquire any land not being the property of the person who is required to drain his land, or to pay compensation to any other person, the Nagar Panchayat or as the case may be, the Council shall provide such land and pay such compensation.
