Correct option is A
Section 15(3) of the Police Act, 1861, provides that when an area is disturbed or troubled and requires additional police forces, the cost of maintaining this additional force can be charged to the residents of that area. This provision serves as a deterrent to prevent disturbances and maintains public order.
Information Booster The imposition of costs on the residents acts as a financial disincentive for the creation or escalation of disturbances in an area. It also emphasizes the responsibility of the community to maintain peace and order.
