Correct Answer:
B. SDEO
If an immovable encroachment is not removed after the order expires, the Hearing Officer (HO) directs the removal in writing to the SDEO (Sub-Divisional Executive Officer). The SDEO is the designated executive authority responsible for the physical enforcement and removal of encroachments within their jurisdiction, acting upon the formal directive from the Hearing Officer.
- An Enforcement Officer might be a general term, but the SDEO is the specific administrative head responsible for such actions.
- The Board is a higher administrative body and does not directly execute removal orders.
- The Police may provide security during the removal process but are not the primary authority directed to carry out the physical removal itself.
