Bare Act

The Epidemic Diseases (Bombay Amendment) Act, 1953

This Act amends the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897 for the State of Bombay, granting the State Government the power to take necessary measures and issue public notices to prevent dangerous disease outbreaks when ordinary laws are insufficient. It also expands the Act's reach to include airports, or aerodromes, alongside railways and ports, ensuring better control over disease transmission at these critical transport hubs. This legislation is essential for public health safety by allowing swift government intervention during health emergencies to contain the spread of illness.
