Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, February 14: District Magistrate Mrs. Ashika Jain, exercising the powers conferred under Section 163 of the Indian Civil Security Code-2023, has issued an order that any person living within the jurisdiction of Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Gram Panchayats situated within the limits of District Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, when he keeps a tenant/servant/paying guest in his house, he will ensure to give full details of the same to the nearest police station within a week. This order will also apply to those who have not yet given the details of the tenants, servants and paying guests already kept to the police.
It has been said in these prohibitory orders that many people from other states and outside districts come to the district for jobs/work etc. Apart from this, students/learners who have come from other states to study in other educational institutions/organisations, people associated with various professions/businesses as paying guests and employees providing services in call centres are also living on rent.
Many of these people are from drug-addict, anti-social and criminal background and create ruckus in rented premises and public places. Landlords do not register the information of these tenants with the police, due to which there is a fear of deteriorating law and order. These orders will remain in force from February 11, 2025 to April 10, 2025.
