- 11. Action regarding sections 52 and 53 of M.R and T.P Act 1966 Actions under sections 52 and 53 under MRTP Act 1966 are basically for illegal constructions and unauthorised use The initial action of issuing notices and police intimation is carried out by the PMC Engineers and this is followed by further action by the local police station A large no. of cases under 52 and 53 are pending. If a new police station is established exclusively for PMC in the PMC limits and necessary powers are given to the police personnel, better co-ordination between the PMC Engineers and Police will be possible and actions under sections 52 and 53 can be effectively carried out These Police station should be established on the lines of MSEDCL These police personnel should be given powers to initiate action not only under MRTP Act but also under BPMC Act and SRA
