Infrastructure19533 sections

This Act amends the Northern India Canal and Drainage Act to modify how costs for canal and drainage schemes are managed. It applies to landowners responsible for paying these costs. The legislation allows these owners to contribute to charges using land, labour, or cash instead of just money. It also clarifies that if these charges remain unpaid, they can be recovered from the owners in the same way as arrears of land revenue, ensuring the state can effectively manage and maintain its irrigation infrastructure.
