Correct Answer:
C. 11 August 2020
This question asks for the effective date of the Act. The commencement date is a critical detail for any legislation, as it marks when the law becomes legally binding. The Punjab Prevention of Hoarding Act 2020 officially came into force on 11 August 2020. This specific date is typically mentioned within the Act itself or in a subsequent notification. The other dates provided, "15 July 2020," "28 July 2020," and "01 September 2020," are incorrect as they do not correspond to the actual promulgation date of this particular Act.
