Residents’ associations required to collect identity documents of tenants; install CCTV network
The city police are set to enforce a slew of measures to enhance the security of apartment complexes in the wake of a spate of incidents, including hosting of drug parties and even the operation of a gambling centre, in apartments.
The apartment associations will be alerted in view of the recent developments during the monthly meetings of Janamaithri police and residents’ associations.
“We will be asking associations and owners to at least collect proper identity documents of new tenants since police verification cannot be insisted upon. Besides, a day of the household visits being undertaken by Janamaithri beat officers as part of the M-Beat (Mobile Beat) system will now be dedicated to residential flats,” said Aishwarya Dongre, Deputy Police Commissioner (Law and Order and Traffic), Kochi City.
