Infrastructure19833 sections

This amendment modifies municipal corporation law in Himachal Pradesh to improve public sanitation and hygiene within municipal limits. It grants the Municipal Commissioner the legal authority to issue notices directing property owners or occupants to convert traditional service latrines into modern water-flush latrines within a specified period. If an owner or occupant fails to comply with the directive, the Commissioner can order the closure or demolition of the service latrine, carry out the conversion, and recover the expenses as unpaid tax arrears. Additionally, non-compliance is made a punishable offense subject to fines or short-term imprisonment, ensuring stricter enforcement of sanitation standards.
