Power to require repair or alternation of building.
(1) Where any building in a cantonment is

may, by notice in writing, require the owner, within such time as may be specified in the notice, to
execute such repairs or to make such alterations as it thinks necessary for the purpose of removing such
defects.
(2) A copy of every notice issued under sub-section (1) shall be conspicuously pasted on the building
to which it relates.
