Chandigarh, April 3:- The Chandigarh Administration has ordered, as an emergency measure that no landlord and owner or manager of commercial establishment would rent out any accommodation to any person unless and until he has furnished the particulars of the said tenants to the Station House Officer concerned. All the persons who intend to offer accommodation on rent shall inform in writing the particulars of tenants to the Station House Officer concerned in whose jurisdiction the premises fall in the UT Chandigarh for a period of 60 days.
An order in this regard was issued here today by the District Magistrate Chandigarh, Mr. R.K. Rao under Section 144 of CRPC as there is apprehension that anti-social elements may make their hideouts clandestinely in the residential areas of the Union Territory of Chandigarh, if suitable measures to
prevent the same are not taken and the unlawful activities of these people can cause breach of peace and disturbance of public tranquility besides posing grave danger to human life and safety and injury to public property.The order would come into force with effect from the zero hour on April 4 and would be effective up to June 2.
