The Odisha Requisitioning of Goods Vehicles Act, 1986

This law allows the Orissa government to take control of goods vehicles, such as trucks, that operate under public carrier permits. It gives the Collector the power to requisition these vehicles if necessary to improve the overall coordination of goods transport within the state or to handle emergencies. Once requisitioned, the vehicles are handed over to the Food and Civil Supplies Department for use in transporting goods. The Act ensures that transport services can be managed effectively during critical times, prioritizing the state's logistical needs over individual vehicle ownership rights.
