It is empowered to enforce regulations concerning price control, the prevention of hoarding, the removal of encroachments, and the maintenance of public order. Operating through a network of sub-divisional Enforcement Stations, the authority serves as a lead regulator to streamline enforcement actions, protect state property, and ensure compliance with scheduled provincial laws.
