What is the purpose of conferring additional powers under Section 24?

The primary purpose of conferring additional powers under Section 24 of the PERA Force Laws is to enable designated officers to enforce the Act effectively. These powers equip officers like SDEOs, Enforcement Officers, or Investigation Officers with the necessary legal authority to carry out inspections, investigations, and regulatory actions without depending solely on regular police powers. Section 24 does not authorize officers to punish offenders arbitrarily, amend laws, or replace the police; it specifically focuses on strengthening enforcement capabilities to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Act. By legally granting additional powers through official notification, the law ensures that enforcement actions are both effective and accountable, thereby promoting compliance, maintaining order, and protecting public interest under the framework of the PERA Force Laws.
