The Mundhwa Police has taken a commendable initiative to bolster safety and security in residential societies. Under the program named ‘Aapla Mundhwa, Surakshit Mundhwa,’ the police are determined to enforce rental laws with rigor, aiming to prevent unfortunate incidents arising from tenant-related issues.
Meeting to Enlighten Residents:
A significant milestone in this endeavor was achieved on July 28th, when a comprehensive meeting took place at the Mundhwa Police Station. The meeting’s primary objective was to enlighten the residents of Mundhwa about rental agreement laws and regulations. Taking inspiration from the success of Kondhwa Police in strictly enforcing rental laws for residential societies in their jurisdiction, the Mundhwa Police have stepped forward to adopt similar measures.
Guidance and Practical Implementation:
The meeting witnessed active participation from representatives of more than 30 societies in Keshav Nagar and other areas of Mundhwa. During the session, the police provided valuable guidance to the societies, emphasizing the paramount importance of promptly submitting relevant documents to the police station whenever a new tenant is accepted into a residential society.
Vishal Gulhane, the Joint Secretary of Vijay Residency in Keshav Nagar, shared his positive experience from the meeting. He mentioned that the police thoroughly explained various rental rules and regulations, encouraging societies to report instances where tenants or flat owners refuse to abide by these norms. In such cases, the police assured that immediate action would be taken against both the house owner and the tenant.
Organized Initiative to Tackle Rising Crime Incidents:
While appreciating the police’s commitment to enforce rental laws strictly, Dr. Venkatesh Kulkarni, the Chairman of Wisteria Society in Mundhwa, highlighted the need for practical implementation. He suggested that unusual scenarios, such as tenants agreeing without negotiation on the quoted rent, should be carefully scrutinized. Dr. Kulkarni also proposed a consideration of the urgency of the tenant’s need for accommodation, allowing them to start residing after an agreement with the owner, followed by document submission to the police station.
Ranjeet Lonkar, the President of Keshav Nagar Welfare Association Mundhwa, played a vital role in organizing the meeting and stressed the necessity of strict implementation of rental laws to address the rising crime incidents involving tenants in Pune. The police assured everyone that the rental rules and laws would be diligently enforced to prevent mishaps or unfortunate occurrences due to tenants.
Vijay Tamhane, Senior Police Inspector at Mundhwa Police Station, emphasized the increasing crime rates involving tenants in the city and reiterated the police’s unwavering commitment to strict implementation of rental laws in Mundhwa.
Guidelines for a Secure Living Environment:
As part of the ‘Aapla Mundhwa, Surakshit Mundhwa’ initiative, Mundhwa Police has outlined crucial guidelines for house owners, society chairpersons, secretaries, and citizens in the Mundhwa-Keshavnagar-Ghorpadi area:
- Complete Tenant Details Submission: Residing citizens must provide comprehensive details of their tenants, including original and previous addresses, to the nearest police station under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Failure to submit tenant information on time may lead to the registration of a case against the house owner under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
- Mandatory Police Verification: Society chairpersons and secretaries must ensure that tenants undergo police verification before being allowed entry into the society. For online verification of tenants, house owners must provide a copy of the verification to the police station.
- Report Exorbitant Deposits: If anyone demands an exorbitant deposit, citizens are advised to report the matter immediately to the police station. Appropriate legal action will be taken against the offender.
Under the banner of ‘Aapla Mundhwa, Surakshit Mundhwa,’ Mundhwa Police aims to create a secure living environment for all residents and ensure the effective implementation of rental laws in the region. By fostering a cooperative relationship between the police, residents, and residential societies, this initiative will play a crucial role in reducing tenant-related crimes and ensuring the safety and harmony of the community.
