DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand police on Wednesday issued an order mandating police verification for tenants from other states. According to the new order, a non-state resident would need to produce a verification (or character) certificate to rent a place in Uttarakhand. The person concerned should procure this certificate from the police station under whose jurisdiction his/her native place is situated, said the order.
In addition to the character certificate, non-state residents would also need to furnish an affidavit stating the authenticity of their documents. Police have said that the verification process for non-state residents has been made "more stringent to keep an eye on suspicious elements."
