(b) the security measures to be undertaken by the holder of the licence at the place of manufacture or any other place;
(c) the requirement that the holder of the licence, if it is a company, firm, society or other body of persons, permits a government official nominated by the Minister to be present at any meeting of its board of management; and
(d) any other conditions which the Minister may deem fit to impose.
