Publication of charts declaring the limits of rivers and how may be published.

The charts prepared as is provided in section 3, shall, when completed, be exhibited for public information at the kachads of all districts in which any part of the river so surveyed is situated, for a period of not less than ninety days. Any person or persons who may desire to raise objections to the boundaries or land-marks set forth in such charts shall be at liberty, during such period, to forward a statement in writing setting forth his or their objections to the Collector of the district in which the boundaries objected to are situated. At the expiry of such period, the Collector shall forward the said charts, with such statement of objections (if any) and his remarks thereon, to the State Government who shall then take the same into consideration, and may order such alteration in the said charts, or pass such other order thereon as to them may seem fit, previous to final approval of the said charts. On such final approval, the State Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette and in the Gazette of every district in which any part of the river is situated, declare that the provisions of this Act shall apply to the said river within the boundaries and limits prescribed in the said charts. The land within the limits so defined and approved by the State Government shall be deemed to be the river-bed, and the limits shall, when necessary, be defined by boundary-stones or other suitable marks to be set up.
