Police involve RWAs in New Town, neighbouring areas for tenant check

Kolkata: Bidhannagar police are reaching out to residents' welfare association (RWA) office bearers of residential housing complexes in New Town and other parts of the commissionerate, asking them to furnish a list of tenants living there and ensure all of them police clearance certificates. If the list does not match the database available with the police, they are calling up the landlords and tenants to immediately fill up a KYC verification form or face a penalty. Last month, Bidhannagar police issued an order requiring all landlords to provide tenant details to local police stations before renting out properties. "Now, a police clearance certificate is a must for every tenant, as well as paying guests staying within our commissionerate jurisdiction, be it in gated complexes or stand-alone houses. We are appealing to all RWAs to help us in this process," said an officer. A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document issued by the police or govt agency of a country to certify that an individual has no criminal record or has not been involved in any criminal activity that resulted in a criminal conviction. Speaking to TOI, RWA office bearers of multiple complexes said they have attended the meetings at police stations and their complexes. "Cops have told us to maintain a database of tenants along with basic details, like names, tower and flat number, number of persons staying in one flat, duration of stay, their occupations, as well as names and phone numbers of brokers and landlords, and submit it to the local police station," said an RWA official from VIP Road. An RWA official from New Town said 25% of the 800 flats in the complex are occupied by tenants, a large share of whom are Bangladeshi. "We are cooperating with cops," he said. Tausif Ali Azhar, DCP, Special Branch of Bidhannagar police, told TOI they have issued notices to 93 landlords for renting properties without submission of PCC and background checks on tenants. "We are giving them 7 days, and if they do not furnish the documents by then, they will be penalised."

Illegal kitchen cooks up trouble for RWA

Gurgaon: The district town planner (enforcement) has ordered the RWA and developer of Vipul Belmonte in Sector 53 to remove encroachments near the community centre. A cloud kitchen operating in an open space violates the sanctioned layout plan. The town planner has asked to clear the land within seven days. The directive was issued under Section 10(2) of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975. According to an official order issued on Monday, the RWA and the developer were found guilty of unauthorised construction and commercial use of open space adjacent to the community centre, which violated the approved building plan and contravened provisions of Section 3B of the Act. This came to light after a show-cause notice was issued by the enforcement wing last month and both parties were asked to present their case. The authority found the RWA's response unsatisfactory. Furthermore, no building plan, or other permissions from the authority were submitted.
