Section 49

The Minister, if he considers it necessary or expedient in the public security to do so, may, by order to be published in the Gazette, declare any area within a security area to be a danger area.

The limits and extent of every danger area shall be demarcated at the site by such means as will, in the opinion of the Minister, make apparent to persons in or about the area concerned that such area has been declared a danger area.

No person shall enter or remain in a danger area, and any person who fails to comply with this subsection shall be guilty of an offence under this Part:Provided that this subsection shall not apply to members of the security forces in the performance of their duty, or to any person accompanied by any such member.

Any member of the security forces may within a danger area take such measures, including means dangerous or fatal to human life, as he considers necessary to ensure that no person prohibited from entering or remaining in a danger area shall enter or remain in such area.

No claim of any kind shall accrue to, or in respect of any injury sustained by, any person as a result of his having entered or remained in a danger area in contravention of subsection (3):Provided that this subsection shall not preclude the award of compensation under any regulations made under section 72 if, in the particular circumstances under which the person sustaining the injury entered or remained in a danger area, the authority empowered to award compensation thereunder considers it equitable to award such compensation.

Where any land, building or other immovable property is within a danger area, a claim for compensation in respect of such land, building or other immovable property may be made in the manner prescribed by regulations made under section 72.
