Document Overview
Officially the Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Rules, 1959, notified on 4 May 1959 under Section 16 of the 1952 Periphery Control Act. These rules translate that Act's broad "controlled area" restrictions into operational detail — how the Deputy Commissioner processes applications, and precise definitions of the activities being restricted.
Key Provisions & Structure
Definitions in these rules cover activities the Act restricts in the periphery, including brick-fields, brick kilns and charcoal kilns (given how much of the early periphery-control concern was industrial and quarrying activity near the new capital). The rules set out the application procedure to the Deputy Commissioner under Section 6 of the Act, and the documentation and process for seeking permission to build or operate within a declared controlled area.
