(4) The Authority shall conduct regular check of the boundaries of the highways entrusted to it for the purpose of removing unauthorised encroachments, if any. (5) When an unauthorised encroachment has been made on the highway, the Authority shall take immediate steps as specified in section 42 for the removal thereof.
