The police conducted a verification drive in the Selaqui and Sahaspur areas on Sunday, leading to action against over 35 house owners for keeping unverified tenants. The police imposed fines amounting to Rs 3.5 lakh under the Police Act for non-compliance with tenant verification norms. Following directives from the Dehradun senior superintendent of police Ajai Singh, a special verification campaign was carried out to ensure that individuals coming from other States or living as tenants in these regions are properly registered with the local authorities. The officials said that the drive aimed to bolster security and identify any suspicious activity in areas with a high influx of outsiders.
The drive covered several key locations including Jamnipur, Pragati Vihar and Bhauwala in the Selaqui area as well as Choi Basti, Rampur, Shankarpur and Mehmudnagar in Sahaspur area. During the operation, 35 house owners were found guilty of not verifying their tenants, leading to their challans and subsequent fines. The authorities emphasised that such drives will continue to ensure the safety and security of the community, urging residents to comply with verification procedures in the future.
