SARGODHA:


Sargodha District Coordination Officer Saqib Manan ordered police on Thursday to seal offices of property dealers who had not submitted details of tenants in their area.


He said action should also be taken against hotels owners not keeping records of their guests.

The DCO’s statement said, “Security arrangements in the country have been upgraded since December 16. Under the Punjab Tenants Ordinance 2015 details of new tenants should be provided to police within 24 hours of giving possession of the property.”

Manan said after the ordinance was issued, several cases had been registered against hotel owners. He said many property dealers had not provided details of tenants to police.

Manan directed assistant commissioners and deputy superintendents to take an action against property dealers who did not submit details of their tenants within 24 hours.

He said those who did not do so would face fines or their offices would be sealed. He urged ACs and the DSPs to comply with the order or face prosecution for negligence.
