The Director may cause notice in writing to be served on the owners and occupiers of premises, including domestic and commercial premises, or on the person responsible for any refuse dump, where such owner, occupier or person responsible can be found, specifying the conditions found favourable for mosquito breeding and requiring the remedying of the same within such period as may be stated in the notice. Whoever on receipt of such notice fails to comply therewith is guilty of an offence.
If such owner, occupier or person responsible cannot be found or if the Director thinks fit, in lieu of or in addition to proceedings for a breach of this section, a member of the Unit may enter upon the premises or refuse dump and execute such works as were mentioned in the notice as may be necessary for mosquito control, and the expenses of executing such works may be recovered by the Director in a civil suit against such owner, occupier or person responsible.
