Discussion
According the Act PESA Gram Sabha has special powers of :
(1) Administration of canals
(2) Prohibition of liquor
(3) Mimer products in the forest
(4) Manage village markets
Select the correct codes :
Answer: B
The special powers are (2), (3) and (4).
The Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 gives the Gram Sabha in scheduled areas powers including the power to enforce prohibition or regulate the sale of intoxicants, ownership of minor forest produce (printed in the paper as 'Mimer products'), and the power to manage village markets, along with control over money lending and land alienation.
PESA speaks of the management of minor water bodies, not the administration of canals, so every option that includes (1) is wrong.
