Jammu, Jan 4, KNT: The Jammu Police have made it mandatory for all landlords in the Jammu region to register the details of their tenants at nearby police stations, officials said on Sunday.

According to police officials, homeowners have been instructed to submit complete particulars of their tenants without delay. The move has been taken as part of a broader effort to strengthen verification mechanisms and maintain law and order in the region.

Police warned that strict action will be initiated against landlords who fail to comply with the directive. Officials said non-registration of tenants will be treated as a violation of police instructions and will invite legal consequences.

To ensure wider public awareness, police carried out announcement drives using loudspeakers in various markets and commercial areas of Jammu. Through these announcements, landlords were informed about the mandatory nature of tenant verification and the importance of timely registration with local police stations.

Officials told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that tenant verification helps law enforcement agencies keep track of people living in rented accommodations and plays a key role in preventing unlawful activities. Landlords were advised to cooperate fully with the police and provide accurate information.

Police said verification can be done at the nearest police station and urged house owners not to ignore the directive, adding that surprise checks may also be conducted to ensure compliance. [KNT]
