M.C. No. 53/2017
ORDER UNDER SECTION 144 of Cr. P.C.
Whereas, recently the admission of patients with symptoms of dengue fever in the hospitals of Puducherry is on the rise. Dengue fever is stated to be caused by viruses spread by mosquitoes that thrive near human habitations. While, the Government is taking multipronged efforts to contain spread of this epidemic, it is the duty of the general public to ensure that their surroundings are kept clean and there are no stagnation of water which become breeding grounds of mosquitoes;

LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT [PART - I And whereas, It is noticed that in the urban areas of Puducherry and Oulgaret Municipalities, a vast extent of lands has been laid as house plots and many people have purchased these plots. However, many of these plots are found to be vacant and are being used as dumping grounds by the neighbourhood inhabitants. These vacant plots have also become breeding grounds for mosquitoes as well as venomous reptiles endangering human health and lives.
The vacant plots have thus become a source of vectors of such dreaded diseases and poisonous creatures;
Now, therefore, I, E.Vallavan, District Collector of Puducherry District in the capacity of District Magistrate, hereby direct the owners of the vacant plots lying within the municipal limits of Puducherry and Oulgaret under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to clear their vacant plots and maintain them free from garbages, hedgegrowths, shrubs, bushes and filth and to ensure proper drainage of water collecting in these plots in whatsoever manner.
I further direct that this clearing activities shall be completed within twelve days from the date of issue of this order failing which action will be taken under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code which attracts punishment with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees or with both for disobedience thereby causing danger to human life, health and safety.
At Puducherry, dated this 5th day of October 2017.
E. VALLAVAN,
District Collector-cum-District Magistrate.
